In WDC&S 94, in the 'Li'l Bad Wolf', the Big Bad Wolf poses as 'Dalt Wisney' complete with suit and moustache (and goatee, glasses) , and is even referred to as 'Mr. Disney' in the comic strip.
Another character in the strip, 'Chicken Little', asks, regarding 'Dalt Wisney': "Isn't he the feller that makes those movie pitchers about a funny duck?" Looks like Mickey Mouse's heyday had officially passed by 1948, based on this.
Does anybody know of any other instances (while Walt Disney was still alive, at least), that his comic strip artists used his name and his profession so directly in their comics?

I have a faint memory of one in the early to mid 1950s, but I can't remember the character, nor the story.

The Phantom Blot looks like a black nosed version of Walt Disney when he's not wearing his mask.

Didn't they model Mortimer Mouse after Walt? You know, Minnie's ex?
