Ohhhh, I have always loved that one! Don Rosa's debunking reading sounds
good.


Don Rosa:

Bunny.

I've never heard Casper called that way. that's really creepy. But then,
that's exactly what he is. Quite gruesome.

I like that idea.
Another story in which Barks walks the line is "House of  Haunts" (U$ 63,
May '66). I love those pages where Scrooge thinks he's a ghost.
