Comments on: No hugs, no lessons http://www.comicsbeat.com/2008/04/29/no-hugs-no-lessons/ The News Blog of Comics Culture Sat, 11 Feb 2012 14:19:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v= hourly 1 By: Donald Duck cartoon - the way they were | BlingYou http://www.comicsbeat.com/2008/04/29/no-hugs-no-lessons/#comment-38311 Donald Duck cartoon - the way they were | BlingYou Sun, 16 Aug 2009 23:41:27 +0000 http://www.comicsbeat.com/2008/04/29/no-hugs-no-lessons/#comment-38311 [...] I read, like most children in my country do when growing up, Donald Duck almost religiously. Donald Duck would always provide correct “learning to read” language, easily understandable story lines and recognizable characters. We always knew that Donald would get mad, his nephews would be smart, Mickey Mouse would be clever, Goofy would be, well, goofy etc. That is, at least, what I thought until finding this cartoon here. Its a strip for a Sunday newspaper in 1936 and horribly political incorrect. I find it funny, but this is probably not the message we want to send to our children.. Donald being Donald [...] [...] I read, like most children in my country do when growing up, Donald Duck almost religiously.

Wow!) and then became another cranky duck. One of his favorite schticks was running after people with a wood-axe. Subtle he was not.

Dinky Duck from Terrytoons is non-cranky. So is Little Quacker (later Yakky Doodle) from Tom and Jerry. As for IDing "Hook, Line, and Succor," the Taliaferro art ID is correct, while the writing is Ted Osborne's. It's actually the Silly Symphony Sunday strip for Sept 27, 1936, here as remounted for WDC&S 1. Heidi, thanks for spreading the gospel of Ducks! Jack Hannah actually drew Donald for comic books only—never for the newspaper strip. At Gemstone, we reprinted a 1943 Hannah story in a recent WDC&S (click on my handle to go to the back issue page at our site).

My researched post vanished! The artist is Al Taliferro. Gladstone's second series of Walt Disney's Donald Duck reprintedmost of the early King Feature strips. The first issue in that series, #280?, the one with Donald juggling on the cover, contains it. Credits can be found at the Grand Comics Database, with information from the Disney comics mailing list.

He drew the daily funnies and Sunday pages of Donald Duck in the 1930s. The strip was usually written by Bob Karp. Karp and Taliaferro were actually the ones that created Hewey, Dewey and Louie, a year before they first appeared on film. That’s Al Taliaferro’s, alright.
