Carl Barks’ 1956 Donald story about New Year’s Resolutions -- everyone knows the significance of that in the Duck household -- is previewed by WilliamVanHorn’s cover. In addition there’s a Gil Turner Li’l Bad Wolf, a two-page Gyro Gearloose gag, and Chapter Two of “Mickey Mouse and the ’Lectro Box,” a 1943 serial reprint written by Bill Walsh, penciled by Floyd Gottfredson, and inked by Dick Moores!
Side note: the copy here took longer to write than it should have because of the experience of having to stop writing the text for five minutes to laugh. All Carl Barks fans know that any given gag can strike you differently at different times no matter how often you may have read it. It depends on how you feel and your mood at the moment. The look on Donald’s face and his understated observation in panel 4 on page 5 at 4:30 pm on this particular Saturday afternoon broke up yours truly (despite having read the short from WDC&S #185, February 1956, probably twenty times before).
