Donald disappeared from the MM strip at about the same time when he
began to appear regularly within the Silly Symphonies Sunday pages. This
has been attributed to the fact that the MM and the SS strips were
sometimes sold to rivaling newspapers, so the paper which bought the SS
strip wouldn't have approved of Donald also appearing in the
competitor's paper.

I will try to find a quotation about this matter.
