Pointless trivia thread

[Baar Baar Jinx]

Okay, we all know we need a thread like this to discuss stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else.
For example, as was alluded to elsewhere, is Rosa's "Beagle Boys vs the Money Bin" the only Disney comic story to ever feature a toilet?

No. A Letter from Home has a medieval latrinæ in Castle McDuck (though it's not explicitly said what it is, the joke makes no sense otherwise).

It's telling that both examples are from Rosa stories ...

I'm quite sure there has been toilets in Italian stories.

Not good enough. We need concrete examples.

In a similar vein, this appears to be the only official Disney image showing bodily fluids:



Note that Hortense has clearly wet herself. Back on the old DCF, it was argued that the color of the puddle was a decision of the colorist, but nobody was able to come up with a suitable alternative explanation for what Rosa intended the puddle to be.

I'm pretty sure it's drool. It's a consistent fact in Rosa that Baby Hortense drools a lot, and for some reason puddles of drool seem okay with censors.

In that case, the colorist's decision is hilarious!

On the depiction of toilets: this week's Uncle $crooge 29 from IDW has a short Jensen/Perez story titled "Waste Makes Haste"
 inducks.org/story.php?c=D+2008-274

There's a bathroom complete with guy standing on toilet in the cross-section of the offices in the bin, where Scrooge and Jubal Pomp are chasing the mini-mites. Joe Torcivia shows these panels and comments on the unusual-in-Disney-comics appearance of a toilet, in his blogpost on the issue:

Pointless Trivia:
For Free Comic Book Day in, I believe, 2014, but I could be wrong, a one shot comic was released with a pin-up of a dartboard with Gladstone on it, "Created by Donald Duck, Esquire!"

Just checked, it was 2014, and was called Free Comic Book Day!: Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck

In “ Deep Un-pact”, Jones is shown to have a toilet in his house.
