"Return of the Titan of Tae-Kwon-Duk" Donald’s brief reign as “Titan of Tae-KwonDuk” (see DD #360!) ended after his cheating in the ring was discovered! But there’s nothing more determined than a disgraced duck...
Unca Donald won’t quit until he can compete for the Titan’s title again!

HaiYah!
Hai-YiYi!
So far, he’s up to a mauve belt and a three-foot opponent!
Whaa?

Though he should know better than to practice near an open thirdfloor window!
Lucky the trash pickup’s on schedule!
A part of town where cabs fear to tread...
{Groan!} Where am I?
He should be able to get a cab back from the dump!
...Then, there’s the matter of who am I?

I’ll assume you’ve kept your TaeKwon-Duk skills sharp, m’boy!
Quick, empty the cash drawers!
Sharp as a Taekwontack!
Leave the money where it’s easy for Mangler to reach...
