   Hey, that’s 15 years younger than GASOLINE ALLEY! And where can I see Donald Duck comics today? What newspapers? What shorts or feature films?

   the first DD can only be seen on dvd, how sad. He always managed to “quack” me up. Yes, I wanted to be the first to say it. Best foil/friend a mouse could ever have.

   Just researched some donald duck comics on the net. Found some great ones. It had great art and great writing and it was also signed by Walt Disney himself. Was it done by him? I’m not sure.

   This is a great one : http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.homeforducks.com/collection/page_8_2004/art12_m.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.homeforducks.com/collection/page_8_2004/index.htm&usg=__-tWK87dD84IDjAXykOXd7PJgvkY=&h=303&w=900&sz=117&hl=en&start=33&um=1&tbnid=4uaJac0CVQnyhM:&tbnh=49&tbnw=146&prev=/images%3Fq%3Ddonald%2Bduck%2Bcomic%2Bstrip%26ndsp%3D18%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DN%26start%3D18%26um%3D1

   Sorry for the huge link. The ”great one” on there was the second one from the top. The sunday strip.

   Sounds like marketing. Did Disney himself draw much during those days? I dunno.

   75 years, and he still hasn’t found his pants.

   “75 years, and he still hasnâ??t found his pants.”

   I think at that point, it’s a choice.

   Joe,

   Disney’s name was signed on the comics, but he definitely did not draw them. Carl Barks did the majority of the comics books, and Al Taliafarro did a lot of the newspaper comics. For years, people didn’t know who was drawing the excellent Donal Duck comics in Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories and referred to Barks as the “good duck artist”. The one you linked to is by Taliafarro.

   Happy birthday Donald. My all time favorite cartoon character.

   You bet. Does DD know where Malawi is? I dunno!
