Carl Barks Illustrates Thanksgiving
Posted by Michael Pinto on Nov 22, 2007 in Comic Books |
I think this cover from the December 1965 issue of Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories does a nice job of illustrating a fanboy themed Thanksgiving. The interior of the issue featured a reprint of a comic by Carl Barks who saw a bit of himself in his artwork:
“I always felt myself to be an unlucky person like Donald, who is a victim of so many circumstances. But there isn’t a person in the United States who couldn’t identify with him. He is everything, he is everybody; he makes the same mistakes that we all make”.
