<B>Carl Barks and Tom Wood - Walt Disney's Donald's Date Six Original Watercolor Illustrations (Good Housekeeping Magazine, 1939).</B></I> Carl Barks did storyboarding as part of a "duck unit" for the Walt Disney "Donald Duck" cartoons, including "Mr. Duck Steps Out". This cartoon was originally planned using the working title of "Donald's Date." Disney artist Tom Wood carefully reviewed these storyboards and selected key scenes to use as publicity art, in the form of watercolor illustrations for <B>Good Housekeeping</B></I> Magazine. These six cartoon illustrations have been matted together in a professionally crafted frame. The "Walt Disney's Donald Duck" logo art in the upper left measures 2.5" x 6.5". The five remaining cartoon illustrations each measure 6" x 8.5". The overall framed size of this piece is 26.5" x 30". Carl Barks has signed the piece in the lower left cartoon art illustration and titled it, "Mr.Duck Steps Out. Storyboard script." The art is in Excellent condition and the delicacy of the watercolor is beautiful. Donald and Daisy Duck, along with the loveable and incorrigible Huey, Dewey and Louie, all appear in this wonderful lot. <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.
