In "Bumper Sled," Donald Duck’s dedication to his volunteer firefighter duties creates unexpected tension in his relationship with Daisy, leaving room for Gladstone Gander to step in with his usual charm and cunning. Written, drawn, and inked by Carl Barks—showcasing his signature blend of slapstick and heart—this 1996 Gladstone Comics issue captures the classic Disney spirit with vibrant colors by Barry Englin and lettering by Garé Barks. The cover, a collaborative effort by Al Taliaferro and Bruce Hamilton, perfectly captures the story’s lighthearted yet mischievous tone.
