In 1991 William Van Horn had illustrated his first advertising gag with Donald Duck for an orange juice manufacturer based on a text by Mike Royer. Three years later he drew five more Donald Duck one-pagers written by former Disney editor Bob Foster for the same company. These comics were printed directly on the orange juice cartons. This is also the reason for the unusually narrow page layout. The original drawings could not be found anymore. Bill either gave them to fans or had them auctioned off.

Bill had photocopied the five juice pages he drew in 1994 for his own archive and sent them to me several years ago. These stories were printed in Germany in Donald Duck Sonderheft Spezial no. 5 and Donald Duck Sonderheft no. 231.

Unfortunately the very first orange juice comic from 1991 cannot be found anymore. Bill merely remembers that the story is about a cruise ship.

Is there anybody out there who knows something about these orange juice strips?
The name and address of the orange juice manufacturer would be helpful too.

The orange juice strips were printed on the orange juice containers.

If somebody like to receive scans from the five orange juice strips, send me an email please.
