<B>Al Taliaferro - Donald Duck Daily Original Art, dated 12-3-40 (King Features Syndicate, 1940).</B></I> This pre-World War II <I>Donald Duck</B></I> daily, from the second year of the strip, is especially funny and well drawn by long-time Duck Man Al Taliaferro. Donald appears in all five panels, as he gives nephews Huey, Louie, and Dewey a hard time for what turns out to be a problem of his own making! This strip was used as the cover of the 1944 Big Little Book #1484, <B>Donald Duck is Here Again</B></I>. Taliaferro's work on Donald is highly prized and sought-after, and he made the strip his own from 1939 until 1970. He is considered part of the Big Three of Disney comics, along with Carl Barks and Floyd Gottfredson. This strip, in Excellent condition, measures approximately 22" x 6". <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
