“Sauce for the Duck”

In "Sauce for the Duck," Donald Duck enters a high-stakes water ski race with one goal: to win a dance with the Water Festival Queen. With Daisy’s help, he’s confident—until she sees the queen and her priorities shift in a flash. Written, drawn, and inked by Carl Barks, this 1987 classic captures the usual chaos with a side of romantic rivalry, all rendered in Barks’ unmistakable style. The cover by Daan Jippes perfectly captures the playful tension of the moment.
