"'''Coffee for Two'''" is a one-page [[funny animal]] [[comic book]] gag story written, drawn, and lettered by [[Carl Barks]]. The story was first published by [[Dell Publishing]] in [[Four Color]] #386 (March 1952) in black and white on the inside back cover.{{sfn|Grand Comics Database||}} |
|||
The issue's contents also include the 32-page Uncle Scrooge story, ''[[Only a Poor Old Man]]'' and two other one-page gag stories: "[[Soupline Eight]]" and "[[Osogood Silver Polish]]". ''Only a Poor Old Man'' and the three gag stories have been reprinted many times.{{sfn|Grand Comics Database||}} |
|||
==Plot== |
|||
A panhandler loitering on a street corner twice asks Uncle Scrooge for a dime to buy a cup of coffee as the duck hurries back and forth about his business. The third time, Scrooge tells the panhandler that his heart is touched by his perseverance. |
|||
Scrooge takes the panhandler to a diner. The duck orders a cup of coffee. He notices a sign on the wall reading, "Second Cup of Coffee FREE!" He tells the waiter to give his free cup of coffee to the panhandler. The waiter's head reels. |
|||
==Analysis== |
|||
[[File:Carl_Barks_Coffee_for_Two_Uncle_Scrooge_gag_story.jpg|thumb|left|First three panels]] |
|||
Visually, the panhandler is seen against a brick wall from the near-same "camera angle" in the first several panels, creating a visual tension for the reader that is resolved when the remainder of the story moves to the diner.{{sfn|Barks|2012|p=235}} |
|||
"Coffee for Two" is an atypical Uncle Scrooge story. While he usually appears as a tightwad trying to save a dime in both his full-length and short stories, in this gag story Barks has deepened his character by presenting him as a somewhat charitable hero.{{sfn|Barks|2012|p=234}} |
