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.
