Translators note: "suck" means "sigh"

So here's En försvarbar flicka, written by Frank Jonker and drawn by Marga Querol Manzano and Comicup Studio. It uses a "dear diary" format, pretty typical for Daisy comics, and starts with Donald and Gladstone fighting over Daisy's affection and being too distracted to step in when an armed robber steals her purse.

She talks to her friend Clara about it, who says some gender-essentialist shit about how men are inherently violent (please stop, I know you mean well but this excuses violent men's behavior), and advises Daisy to take up some self defense training. Daisy is unsure, imagining herself as a bodybuilder... but you don't need to be one to learn martial arts, so she does.

After she single-handedly knocks out three Beagle Boys, which is the only good thing that happens in this comic, Donald and Gladstone finally learn to respect her and pay attention to her. This love triangle is always such a mess, and I'm really not a fan of how much of Daisy's character is based around it.

Next, Deckargåtan is a regular feature where you have to solve some mystery - here, Donald's nephews blame a broken window on the kids outside, and the magazine asks you how Donald knows they're lying. I can't recall if I found this difficult as a six-year-old, but it's probably appropriate for the target demographic.

After this, En handelsresandes nöd, written by Gail Renard and Jack Sutter, and drawn by José Maria Millet Lopez - a pretty forgettable story where Donald abuses a too-insistent encyclopedia salesman, and then needs his encyclopedias after getting on a gameshow - and the one-pager Här var det dimmigt, written by Jonker and drawn by Bas Heymans, where Donald mistakes a scarecrow for a cop due to the fog.
