Well at least he did do quite a lot of work with other comics too.<br>
Here is a complete overview of Barks' non-Disney work during the period
1943-47:<br>
<br>
<b>For Our Gang Comics 11 - 36, May 1943 - July 1947:<br>
</b>3 stories starring Benny the Lonesome Burro<br>
26 stories starring Barney Bear & Benny Burro<br>
2 stories starring Happy Hound (later known as Droopy)<br>
<br>
<b>For Dell Four Color 48:<br>
</b>1 story starring Porky Pig along with Bugs Bunny: "Porky of the
Mounties" (July 1944)<br>
<br>
<b>For New Funnies 76:<br>
</b>1 story starring Andy Panda: "The Widow's Donuts" (June
1943)<br>
<br>
All of the above was reprinted in black & white in the Barks Bear
Book, but that one is gonna be hard to find. I don't own it myself, but I
know someone who does, so I've had the pleasure of browsing through it
(carefully that is!).<br>
<br>
Later (about 1952 - 54) he also wrote the script for three Droopy stories
published in Tom & Jerry comics.<br>
