 Nobody's Business (Comic Book)
comment
Nobody's Business is the second-ever Disney comic created by Don Rosa, originally published in Uncle Scrooge #220 in August of 1987. It's the first of Rosa's shorter, gag-based stories rather than the epic adventures he's most famous for, and also marks the first appearance of Gladstone Gander in one of his comics.

comment
Read the Fine Print: Donald didn't read through the contract for his "real estate" deal very well. Oh, it's the exact size he was promised, but it's all vertical, as he'd actually bought a worthless, stony cliff rather than land.

The Cameo: Azure Blue and Lawyer Sharkey from The Golden Helmet and The Lost Charts of Columbus can be seen walking by in the background when Gladstone is lying in his hammock.

Shockingly Expensive Bill: The bill Donald runs up at the restaurant, which costs him a sizeable chuck of his $1000.

comment
Pyrrhic Victory: In Scrooge's own words, a "hollow victory"; he set both of his nephews up with businesses of their own, but predicts they will be back to square one within a month.

Take That!

comment
Take That!: Even this early in his career, Don Rosa knew that comics, especially working with Disney, didn't earn much of a living, commenting on how even Gladstone's supernatural luck couldn't make a go of it in that line of work.

Did Not Think This Through: Donald's "business lunch" with the restaurant owner, ignoring that he's already ready to make a deal, and stuffing him so full of food he loses interest in the restaurant business entirerly. Scrooge, who set up the whole investment deal, not realizing he was also creating an unbeatable competition with Gladstone.

comment
Know When to Fold 'Em: The reason for why Donald went with such a small profit - considering how all his previous attempts at investing went, he decided to cut his losses as quickly as possible rather than try and hold out for more. Plus, he was getting thirsty anyway.
