Notes: Art submitted on January 10, 1952. "Barks has said that this story 'was inspired by the desert which is just over a range of hills from San Jacinto [Calif.]. I've sweated through heat waves and wind storms generated by that desert so many years it is no longer fun.' (October 14, 1969, letter to Winston Ljungdahl)."
