I was recently skimming through old Swedish Donald Duck & Friends/Co. comics (Kalle Anka & Co.) and rediscovered two intriguing characters. Their Swedish names were "Hokus and Pokus", which is Swedish for Hocus and Pocus, as is rather obvious. They served as Magica's apprentices for a handful of issues, here and there. This issue, in particular, was Kalle Anka & Co. issue 43 from 2010.
Thing is, when I tried to find any more info about the characters online, I couldn't find any actual websites or pages that weren't in either Swedish or French. Trying to find them on any English fan page or similar had my efforts come up dry, and I couldn't even find their names on the English Wikipedia page for Magica de Spell; that page even lists her past apprentices!
Do these characters have a different name in English that isn't just, well, Hocus and Pocus? I know that Swedish translators have often been keen on translating almost all namesakes, so it'd be reasonable. Or, is it the more obscure answer that is right? Have these characters never appeared in an English adaptation of a Donald Duck comic? Sorry if this comment is a Lil' long.
I feel like I should know this but I don't. I'm looking for a story with a similar plot to The incredible duck (2005) but it's a two parter. (I do, however, remember that the crook force feeds HDL his mixture.) Edit: Got it. It's Boiling Point (2000).

I remember a comic where Donald is so angry at Gladstone that he "curses" him and wishes him bad luck. Daisy scolds him, he feels guilty and he sees Gladstone is getting into unlucky situations, so he tries to save him from each of them, without being noticed. Turns out, at the end, that
I doubt anyone know the answer but whatever. What was the culprits motive in Toy Store? I can't shake the thought that the culprit was (spoiler) Scrooge but I can't, for the life of me, remember any motive.
(Also if, against all odds, you do happen to have a copy of the story laying around, drop me a PM. I've been searching for a certain scan from it since before I joined this forum.)

{Spoiler} actually an old toymaker who wanted to sabotage Scrooge's mass-produced toys because the old man made the toys himself with care, and he couldn't stand the mass-produced ones to be more successful.

I doubt I get an answer but I might as well ask (Cause otherwise I know it'll haunt me.). Anyone familiar with a comic where BW ties LW to a fence post? Edit: My bad, LW got tied to a tree. Grandma Duck was the one that got tied to a fence post. Edit: It's W WDC 115-03. On to find the one with Grandma Duck.
