But there's also a question that I forgot in my previous message: I have read in a TV Tropes page that "In a 1940s Donald Duck newspaper strip, Donald applies for child benefit as the sole guardian of Huey, Dewey, and Louie". I know that Donald listed the boys as adopted in the short "The New Spirit" (1942), and I'd like to know if there is also a Taliferro strip that shows that.<br /><br />"And I'll be reading all the first Grandma strips this summer when the 3rd book in IDW's daily strip collection is out.

But I we don’t actually see the farm in the newspaper strips before the comic books": so the farm is already mentioned in her third strip? That's all I wanted to know, thanks for the information: now I checked the scan an Indcks and saw the panel where Grandma Duck talks about hef farm. I wonder if the farm is also mentioned in later strips.<br /><br />Snce Grandma Duck was based on Taliaferro's mother-in-law, Donnie M. Wheaton, do we know if she also lived on a farm? And do we know if is true that, as I often read, Taliferro had an aunt named Della like the mother of Huey, Dewey and Louie?<br /><br />A few other questions about the work of Taliaferro: beside the "Grandma Duck" from "The Wise Little Hen", is Donald's grandmother ever called Grandma Duck in the newspper strips, or is she only called "grandma"? And about Huey, Dewey and Louie: is their surname ever mentioned? I know Barks used the surname Duck in the ten-page "High-wire Daredevils", the same that introduced the name Duckburg (W WDC 49-02, October 1942) and reused it in later stories; hovewer, I'd like to know if the surname Duck for Donald's nephews was ever used in any media that predates "High-wire Daredevils".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5941025762488585925.post-84396689955786423912016-04-06T12:37:57.214-07:002016-04-06T12:37:57.214-07:00Well, when Donald goes to visit his cousin Gus in ...Well, when Donald goes to visit his cousin Gus in "Pumpkin Center", in the strips from November 7, 1938 to November 19, 1938, Gus works at a farm.

In an Inducks review of "Donald's Grandma Duck" by Craig/Barks, we can read: "very first depiction of the farm (only talked about in the Taliaferro strips)". Is there actually a Taliaferro strip where the farm is mentioned before its debut in the comic books?

I haven’t read this series, only seen some samples – but from what I’ve seen of the style and coloring it’s a typical series that would look a lot better on proper paper and not on the cheap paper the Lustiges Taschenbuchs usually use.<br /><br />Also it’s not that long a series compared to X-Mickey. With Papercutz’ current schedule with 3 books a year, one being X-Mickey – it would take 30 years to finish the series.
