Backstage: About hearing aids, Joseph Cowles wrote in a August 4, 2000 e-mail:

"Barks had been burdened with a hearing loss from childhood. In the 60's he wore heavy horn-rimmed glasses with thick earpieces that contained built-in hearing aids. He said that they were quite expensive, and didn't work all that well - distorting sounds. Some days he could hear pretty well with them, other times one had to speak loudly or repeat things several times. Back then he didn't use the telephone, so my phone conversations were exclusively with Garé. I imagine that eventually, with solid-state technology, his hearing situation may have improved."

Cross-references: Donald and the nephews decide they won't tell their new year's resolutions to each other, because of the troubles that aroused one year earlier. (1.1 - 2.2) This is a cross-reference to «solemn new years resolutions», published a year earlier.

Backstage: In the last panel, Donald tells his nephews to "Shut up!" Editor Alice Cobb forwarded Barks a letter from an irate mother complaining about the story, with a June 4, 1956 note: "We feel it is a fair criticism. We should all watch for this sort of thing, we think - and avoid it as much as possible". The mother's letter must have included a barb about the closing panel of the story, because the editor's note concluded, "In addition, we usually use 'Quiet!' instead of 'Shut up!'"
