I had purchased these old "Donald and Donna" UK strips quite a few years back and read many of them before some misfortune occurred and I lost nearly my entire Disney collection. I salvaged what I could. But I did lose the Donald and Donna stuff. Fortunately, beforehand, I had mocked up an image of Mac which I placed on a spreadsheet of assorted Disney comics & animation characters, but the characters were not labelled. I remember most of them, but I could not remember Mac's name. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I thank you and Kriton for helping me out.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Gratefully yours,</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Rich</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">bellanotte_guy@yahoo,com</div>
