 It makes them illegal trade. Clearly having the autograph of someone else
 except Walt Disney on a Disney comic is a violation of something. Doesn't
 Walt draw them all himself?-)

Sorry to the list for a response to such a old message.  shows how far behind 
I am in reading the digest.
Jussi,
This is not so.   This is done to discourage getting rid of them.  Movie 
stars have done this for years!   Who wants a picture or drawing that says  
..... best wishes Jack!   hanging on their wall,  when your name is tom?    
Disney is dead..... .Don can sign anything he has produced... covers.... or 
stories...... and thats totally legal. 
 
on the issue of Don's drawings...... I have a fair number of them  (EVIL 
GRIN) and will never sell them.   I have GIVEN one of them away to someone 
who would appreciate it and the great image of Donald raging mad!   I had 
this picture at work and  I used to think of my boss as this and it always 
made me laugh!
