That's right. And meanwhile, there's still the question of what became of Donald Duck's parents
later on, not to mention his nephews' (there's only one brief mention of their actual father, and
very little of their mother). But I think we'll devote a separate topic for all that. ;)

Maybe I should add "and movies" in the title.
I had not seen Hercules in a while and watched it again; a major character dies (sacrificing themselves-- I won't be more specific in case you have not seen it), which leads to a trip to Hades' realm to save that person.

I need to think seriously about the Gottfredson stories to see if I can remember more deaths.
Hey, here's one, without even having to think ( :p ): an important robot character is blown to bits in Walsh & Gottfredson's "The Land of Tomorrow".

That Gottfredson story had at least one US comic book printing: in "Mickey Mouse Birthday Party" (giant comic- 25¢) in the early 1950s.

Grote griebels! Ik ben weer Nederlander!!!

Yes, I forgot that it was printed in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories in the late 1940s. I was disappointed when they stopped printing Gottfredson stories in WDC, and even moreso, when they stopped printing his stories redrawn by Bill Wright. It was nice to get the Murray/Fallberg stories. But as someone who didn't keep the Mickey Mouse newspaper strips after reading them (my parents probably wouldn't have wanted all the newspapers around), it would have been my only way to have them. The older cousins, from whom I inherited all the '40s Disney comics, didn't keep old newspapers.

Thank you Robb and Cacou. I remember The World of Tomorrow. It was sad when Mimi died. She was such a cute character.

This page is even more disturbing (even though "Scottie" actually does not die), because you see Donald discovering a death. I know there is also an early Guido Martina story where Donald let a goat die (I can't remember which one).

You're welcome. And I agree, Mimi was yet another memorable Bill Walsh character.

It's good to know that you agree with me. I wish they would have made it so she could live. Maybe she could have been a regular character eventually.

Ooooh, good one, François!
And then, of course, the same story features the creepy shadow of a walking skeleton!

I love the few pages in "House of Haunts" (Uncle Scrooge # 63, May 1966) where Scrooge believes he has died and become a ghost; I wish Barks had been able to develop it a bit more.

Me too, though I read that story and it was a good one. :)

I wish Barks had also developed "The Old Castle's Secret" more as well, maybe told a bit more about Sir Quackly (but this is a rather biased opinion on my part ;) ). And I can see where they got some of the bits for the Ducktales episode "Hotel Strangeduck".

(Speaking of which, did anyone else notice Dr. Ludwing von Strangeduck slightly resembled Ludwig von Drake---but with really weird hair? XD )

What's always interested me most about this example is that Donald's dialogue as he flees, "Sir Quackly got him!!!!!" is obviously relettered by editor Carl Buettner; it's clearly Buettner's lettering style (compare with various wolf stories, 1945-46) and even with a bunch of exclamation points stuck on the end, it still doesn't fit in the voice balloon.
Since "done for" appears, unaltered, in Barks' own hand in the panel following, I suspect the relettered panel must have used the word "dead" ...and perhaps some more vaguely controversial information.
It's easy for me to imagine Donald saying something along the lines of "The poor dope's DEAD! Cold as a cucumber!" Seems to fit the voice balloon, though of course I have no idea what was really originally said.
