Duckworth also appeared at least once in the DONALD DUCK newspaper strip.  In 
the Sunday strip of April 5, 1992, he appears in two panels.  There is no 
question as to his i.d., as Donald addresses him by name.

Yes.  I have exchanged letters with WVH and he was kind enough to put my name 
in TWO stories.  The first time, however, it was "Barat's Hats."  At the time, 
he didn't know that my last name rhymes with "rot," rather than "hat."
