Notes

  1. This is also the original production name of this episode.
  2. This is also the original production name of this episode.
  3. |Episode 16 was inexplicably called "De straat van Jeep" in the index for future releases of the Alfred J. Kwak Filmstripboeken series. Volume 6, the volume that would've contained this episode, was never released.
  4. Direct quote from Dolf
  5. "pankka" doesn't appear to mean anything regarding Alfred and seems to only have been said as it rhymes with "ankka"
  6. "Liero" being the Finnish name of Lispel de Kwal, also meaning something like sleazy, shady, or dishonest.
