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.

WE MADE 100 POSTS FOR 2009!!! More Favorite Christmas/Holiday Images: WDC&S 64 (1945)
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.

Joe,
ReplyDeleteA 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.

ReplyDeletePersonally, 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.
