Donald Duck is an American comic strip by The Walt Disney Company starring Donald Duck. The first Donald Duck strip debuted in American newspapers on the 7th of February, 1938. Soon after, on the 10th of December in 1939, Walt Disney expanded the title to also be a Sunday strip feature in conjunction with the daily strip publication. Writer Bob Karp and artist Al Taliaferro worked together on the strip for more than 30 years. Donald Duck was distributed by King Features Syndicate.

Publication history

Disney artist Al Taliaferro came up with the idea of a solo comic strip for Donald Duck, but had trouble convincing his bosses to support his idea. He initially pitched the idea to Roy O. Disney, who rejected it. Taliaferro then produced three weeks-worth of episodes for a Donmald Duck comic strip, brought them to Roy Disney, and asked him to offer the strip to King Features Syndicate for publication. (King Features had syndicated all Disney comic strips up to this point.) Roy Disney was not particularly interested, but his brother Walt Disney could see potential in the project. Taliaferro's original sample stories were rejected due to having "weak gags". Taliaferro co-operated with writer Merrill De Maris to create new sample stories, but these were also rejected. Taliaferro then co-operated with writer Homer Brightman, and this time the sample stories were approved. Taliaferro's idea was greenlighted and the new Donald Duck comic strip was about to begin.[3]

On February 2, 1938, the Donald Duck comic strip started appearing in daily newspapers. A Sunday version was added on December 10, 1939. Taliaferro's was the strip's main penciller, while Homer Brightman was its writer and came up with the gags. But Brightman was mostly a screenwriter, and soon quit the comic strip and returned to writing plots for animated short films. Brightman was replaced by Bob Karp, who would serve as Taliaferro's main creative partner for the rest of his career.[3] The inkers for the comic strip included Karl Karpe, Dick Moores, George Waiss, and Bill Wright. Taliaferro also relied on a number of assistant artists, including Ellis Eringer, Frank Grundeen, Al Hubbard, and Kay Wright. [3]

Taliaferro retired from the daily comic strip on October 10, 1967. He kept working on the Sunday version of the strip until his death in February, 1969.[3] Since 1967, Taliaferro's duties on the comic strip had mostly been handled by Frank Grundeed, who replaced Taliaferro as the main artist upon his retirement and death. Bob Karp remained the strip's main writer until his retiremernt in 1974.

The Donald Duck comic strip continued with new writers and artists over the following decades: Greg Crosby (writer, 1974-1979), Frank Smith (artist, 1976-1986), Bob Foster (writer, 1980-1989), Jim Franzen (artist, 1986), Daan Jippes (artist, 1986-1987), Ulrich Schröder (artist, 1986), Jorgen Klubien (artist, 1986), Tony Strobl (artist, 1986-1987), Bill Langley (artist, 1987), Pete Alvarado (artist, 1987-1989), Larry Mayer (artist, 1987-1989), and finally Larry Knighton (artist, 1990-1995).

In 1995, King Features decided to end the production of new episodes of the comic strip, and to start publishing reprints of older episodes.[3]

Story and characters

While the Mickey Mouse comic strip was an adventure series, the Donald Duck comic strip continued to be a daily comedy series. Each episode featured Donald dealing with problems and humorous situations. Most of the strips featured stand-alone gags, although some ongoing plots were introduced. The strips often lacked dialogue. [3]

Taliaferro and Karp started expanding the Donald Duck universe by introducing new supporting characters for the protagonist. On March 17, 1938, they introduced Bolivar, Donald's pet St. Bernard. The strip found humor in the fact that Bolivar rarely listens to his owner. Taliaferro reportedly drew inspiration from his own pet dog, which was a Scottish Terrier.[3] Gus Goose, the "lazy and gluttonous" cousin of Donald, was introduced on May 9, 1938.[3] On 4 November 1940, Taliaferro and Karp introduced a comic strip version of Daisy Duck, as Donald's new neighbour and love interest. The character had been created by Carl Barks for the short film Mr. Duck Steps Out (1940).[3] Grandma Duck, Donald's grandmother, was introduced on September 27, 1943. Taliaferro based the character on his mother-in-law and her old-fashioned ways. Taliaferro's version of Grandma is a hard-working farmer, but out of touch with the technologal progress of the world surrounding here.[3] A comic strip version of Scrooge McDuck was added by Taliaferro on February 13, 1951, and a comic strip version of Ludwig Von Drake on September 25, 1961.[3] Donald's car, the 313, was designed by Taliaferro on July 1, 1938. It has been associated with the character ever since.[3]
