That sounds cool.

Nice find. I often find Taliaferro a bit on the repetitive side, but it'll still be great to have his collected works--I even strongly suspect I'll warm to him a bit.

I've enjoyed reading Taliaferro's work on Alpha Comics. Like most daily comedies it can be hit or miss at times, but I would definitely buy the collections.
I haven't seen this much Disney Comic activity since the peak of Gladstone comics - I'm loving it.
It's also been great these past 10 years to be able to easily read Peanuts, Ninja Turtles, Dick Tracy and a slew or other material.

Wow! Sounds great!

I'm looking forward to those volumes. A large number of the Donald Duck newspaper comics were clever gags that needed no dialogue. Al Taliaferro was the first artist to draw Huey, Dewey and Louie. Donald's nephews debuted in the Sunday strip on October 17, 1937 and made their film debut---the animated short was cleverly titled Donald's Nephews--- a year later. I have heard that Carl Barks, who was then working in the Disney story department, was opposed to the idea of Donald having nephews because drawing four characters instead of one would require much more work. Does anyone know who actually created the characters?

Quote from user: Thomps2525Does anyone know who actually created [Huey, Dewey and Louie]?
Yes??Al Taliaferro.
The Disney Archives has preserved a memo to Taliaferro from the Animation Department, dated February 1937, thanking him for creating the new characters and giving him a bonus.
