Sunday comic strip from 09/24/1967 for "Donald Duck." Raised in a family of Disney employees, Taliaferro became Gottfredson's collaborator for "Mickey Mouse" (ink and lettering) as early as 1931. But Taliaferro is Donald Duck's man, in fact he immediately becomes his graphic designer, increasing the character's weight in the Disney universe.
