*Much* later than 1945. Obviously. 1943... 8-)

She appeared for the first time in the Donald Duck newspaper daily from
September 27, 1943.

The FSG '45 appearance may be one of the first times she appeared in a comic
*book*. That may explain the difference in appearance - but I'm sure she was
meant to be *the* Grandma Duck.

This is Daisy's housekeeper. She has never been seen before or after that
story...
(Barks just needed someone to tell Donald where Daisy had gone.)
