Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #3 (387)

In "Red Apple Sap," Donald Duck is determined to win a garden competition, but his usual hustle can't keep up with Gladstone Gander’s surprising harvest—despite the fact that Gladstone spends most of his time asleep. Written and illustrated by Carl Barks, this classic tale from 1972 blends humor and quiet absurdity, with the Western Publishing Production Shop handling colors and Garé Barks on letters. The cover, a lively collaboration by Paul Murry and Larry Mayer, captures the playful spirit of the story.
