This is correct. The strips are not very offensive at all, but do
show Donald trying to cheat the Indians. When I was living in Texas a
few years back, I went to the university library and made photocopies
of these dailies from microfilm. I believe I have already sent
photocopies to a few persons but guess I could do it again. I am,
however, leaving for Canada and the US in a few days and will be away
a couple of weeks, so it might take a while.
