Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #9 (165)
In "The Price of Fame," Donald Duck finds himself out of his depth when Daisy’s glamorous dining choices leave him scrambling to keep up—his attempt to match her luxury ends with a humble peanut butter sandwich and a glass of water, all while trying to keep up appearances. Written by Bob Karp and brought to life with Al Taliaferro’s expressive art and inks, this 1954 classic from Dell captures the humor of pride and pocketbook in equal measure. The cover, by Carl Barks, perfectly captures the moment’s quiet desperation.
