Last post, featuring the cover image for 1964’s Donald Duck # 99 (…fittingly, our 99th Post for 2009!), illustrated that “Simple says it best!” with its image of the Ducks in a stately, portrait-like Christmas pose.
In contrast, we present a real “beard burner” that is about to become rather “un-simple” for Donald as soon as he catches a whiff of the smoke.
Sure makes you wish you could see what happens next! Enjoy!

Joe,
A weird mixture of symbols here: Santa Claus, Christmas carol book, candles (typically a Christian symbol).
Walt Kelly was a great artist, but his puffy-cheeked nephews are too cutesy by half.

Personally, I loved Walt Kelly’s puffy-cheeked Duck Nephews! They made for great cover gag material. …Might not have worked in the long adventure format, though.
Joe.
