Sqeggs Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 One of my goals this year was to get a single digit WDC&S. Tick. Well that mission has been accomplished in efficient style, very early in the year, so what are you going to do now As an aside, the cover artists must have enjoyed dreaming up ever more bizarre and ironic "Duck" situations. Donald is a duck, so how come he needs an umbrella? Water rolls right off him, correct? It's a bit like those other covers where he and the nephews put on pants in order to go swimming. Hmm. This is beginning to form a theme He wants to keep his shirt dry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaillant Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 He wouldn’t have needed a shirt in the first place, if we want to be niggling, but still Donald & all the other ducks wear a shirt and no pants, while Mickey wear pants & no shirt. Now go figure this out… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaillant Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) This is a great explanation. I guess Goofy was the luckiest of the three. Edited January 24, 2013 by vaillant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitterOldMan Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 In Mad #19, Will Elder drew the hilarious "Mickey Rodent", where "Goony" aka Goofy shamed "Darnold Duck" into wearing pants. Here is the story on a blog. http://johnglenntaylor.blogspot.com/2009/01/mickey-rodent-mad-19.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Great book Andy; the color palette on that cover is a little unusual and almost painterly. Not what one would expect from a kids comic. Very nice! Oh and I don't think I have ever seen that book before for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Thanks to Mr. Bedrock for the group below that arrived this week; some late 1940's WDCS fun! Apologies for the slightly fuzzy picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Great books Frank. Alas, that collection didn't have any of the ones I'm looking for. That's a shame because yours look really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 They have a nice solid feel with supple pages; ahhh all you could want in an old previously read duck book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy, You might check with Terry's Comics for some other early WDCS. He had 4-5 on display at the California Comic Convention today in the $500 - 700 range. All looked like solid mid-grade books.

BB-Gun Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I know it's not just Donald but I thought it was a great cover. This was given to me after attending the movie "FUN and FANCY FREE"...they gave out quite a few to all the kids. mm That's another great book. I didn't realize they did those give aways then. Fun and Fancy Free is an underappreciated Disney movie. I didn't know FC 157 was a giveaway. It has a 10 cent price tag on it and it matches my paint book. The story hour series book was also a giveaway in softcover. Mickey's Robin Hood story also started with a few weeds (from WDCS 11). It was later redrawn for the Silly Symphony giant #6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I kind of like the art in the earlier rendition of the story. I think it was a reprint from the daily Mickey newspaper stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think that's right. The story was also reprinted (beautifully) in the Another rainbow 'Mickey Mouse in Color' book. I read it the night before last, and it's a lot of fun.

tb Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I kind of like the art in the earlier rendition of the story. I think it was a reprint from the daily Mickey newspaper stories. Yes, I think that's right. The story was also reprinted (beautifully) in the Another rainbow 'Mickey Mouse in Color' book. I read it the night before last, and it's a lot of fun. I always thought of it as two independent stories that were stitched together like other adventures by Gottfredson. The first part, which is just outstanding, is has the feel of a mid-30's short. Gottfredson was clearly inspired by "Mickey's Garden", but he transferred the idea brilliantly to the newspaper format. It may well be my own favorite Gottfredson sequence of all time and it totally overshadows the so-so Robin Hood part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
