Donald needs to wear protection over his eyes when he uses the torch. Barks drew glasses in that panel, but, I think they morphed into more protective goggles in following panels.

Didn't Donald wear glasses in the carton "Donald's Birthday"?

@MrCleveland: What do you mean with "Donald's Birthday"?

Donald Duck wore reading glasses when he was giving his nephews their allowance by doing yardwork.

Quote from user: ramapithQuote from user: Robb_KThose glasses were NOT worn by Donald in Barks' original. Clearly, they were added by other artists. They don't sit correctly on his beak, as Barks would have drawn them.
Forgive me, Rob??but they're in the first printing of Barks' story in UNCLE SCROOGE 33. For all we know, they might have been added by a practical joker at the Western Publishing office, but it looks more to me like an understandable error on Barks' part; like he gave Donald Scrooge's glasses in a rush and forgot to erase them.

I can't help but wonder how this mistake could have appeared in the final version of the story, though; I can see Barks accidentally drawing them in out of force of habit (since Scrooge and Donald have a similar beak structure, and he drew Scrooge so frequently; a "hand memory" sort of thing), but wouldn't he have caught his mistake when he inked it?

So they removed the glasses in the Carl Barks Library version of the story? I have mixed feelings about that ...
