Truant Troubles

Truant Troubles, also known as The Truant Nephews, The Stay-Away-From-School Day! and An Educational Experience is a comic story written and drawn by Carl Barks. It features Donald Duck and Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck.
==Plot==
Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck decide to try to run away to avoid going to school, preferring to rough it as adventurers in the wild. But their romantic notions are repeatedly thwarted not only by Donald Duck, but by a series of coincidences which constantly sees them landing back in front of a schoolhouse, no matter where they go!
===References===
* Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck eventually walk into the Truant Officers Send-Off Luncheon For All Truant Officers In Webfoot County.
===Continuity===
* Don Rosa's Metaphorically Spanking (1988) reuses the same overall plot structure of Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck attempting to truant, only for bad luck to constantly thwart them.
* Although this story implies Duckburg is located in Webfoot County, Getting Thor (1951) instead depicts it as being part of Duck County.
==Behind the scenes==
This story was first printed in 1951 in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #133; it was, at the time, nameless.
Subsequently reprinted in the U.S.A. in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #350, Walt Disney's Comics Digest #1, Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #577, and, of course, in the various Carl Barks Libraries, it did not receive any title in any of these printings, instead being first named as Truant Troubles in the first of its two Australian printings, Jumbo #39 and Giant #497. Its two British printings, Donald and Mickey #130-#131 and The Best of Donald Duck #2, were done under two different titles, The Stay-Away-From-School Day! and An Educational Experience respectively.
