The story W WDC 308-06 "The Beauty Business" ends with Donald "creating"
whith his beauty business a new Daisy. As a sort of continuity, Daisy keeps
the same look in the last stories written and drawn by Barks in which she
appears:
W WDC 312-01 "The Not-so-ancient Mariner" and W US 68-02 "Hall of the
Mermaid Queen". Maybe Barks wanted to leave us with a "modern" Daisy, who
knows?
Remember that W WDCD 5-?2 "The Dainty Daredevil" was drawn by Barks but not
written by him.
