Going through <em>even</em> more of my old stuff I discovered that this story wasn't unfinished, but merely hacked down mercilessly by the Wirojas, the three editors for modern S&S comics. Although most of their criticism focused on parts not shown here, they did have two issues with things you can see on this first page: "Cool John is a new character. Without him there's no story. Sorry guys, but in our Bible we explain why this is unacceptable. Perhaps you guys should read it one of these days?" "Also: why have our friends suddenly become such idiots? They even fail to remember their own names!" Ooh, ooh!

Although they paid significantly less than the competing Sjors en Sjimmie franchise, it was always fun to write stories for them, simply because they pretty much let you decide what to write. As a result, stories for the magazine may have a tone of voice that implies grown-ups talking down to kids, but typically the stories are just fun adventures. Moralistic tales like this copyright story are rare. Indeed, in the next story of this week’s issue Chip ‘n’ Dale try to break into what looks like a military compound in order to steal nuts. Their three attempts fail because the compound is well secured—even underground—indicating the owners’ unambiguous desire to keep out intruders. But in the end the two chipmunks luck out, and end up with a mountain of nuts. Moral of that Disney story: crime pays. [...] [...] Disclaimer: I have written for Donald Duck magazine myself.
