Walt Disney's Comics #257
In "The Pride of Duckburg," Donald Duck—normally a meticulous cement contractor—finds his careful craftsmanship replaced by wild, unbridled energy after being hypnotized by Huey, Dewey, and Louie into becoming a "dynamo" with a new, reckless purpose. Written by Bob Gregory and brought to life with crisp art by Tony Strobl, inks by Steve Steere, and colors by the Western Publishing Production Shop, this 1968 classic sees Donald’s transformation unfold with classic Disney flair. The cover, a vibrant showcase of the chaos to come, is by Carl Barks, who both pencils and inks the iconic image.

Cement contractor Donald is an old-fashioned craftsman, whom Huey, Dewey, and Louie feel takes far too much time to complete a job with great precision, and receives far too little in compensation for his efforts. They have him hypnotized into becoming a “dynamo, whose destiny it is to reshape Duckburg”. And so, Donald abandons his previously careful, high standards – and goes, and goes, with total reckless abandon, not caring who or what gets in his way!
