A few other examples of taliaferro's works may be

so please check the site from time to time!

ill, or what?

That sunday page really was drawn by Taliaferro, and my 
guess is material damage only.

There are some sunday pages that are seldom reprinted, by 
the way, eg Gladstone "forgot" several Silly Symphonies 
Donald pages in the "Donald Duck" comics. But in this case, 
I think that once again this was only a material problem.

One that (apparently?) *is* a problem is the Donald daily 
strip of March 3 1938.
I think that in the few recent reprints available, the text 
was changed. I have never seen the original strip myself, 
so I can only make guesses.
Apparently Donald is throwing a stone (?) to a person who 
is not shown. I'm not sure if that person is supposed to be 
of African origin in the original strip.

Maybe someone who has more information can enlighten us 
on this?
