Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #11 (323)
In "The Pride of Duckburg," Donald Duck—normally a meticulous cement contractor—finds his careful craftsmanship upended when Huey, Dewey, and Louie hypnotize him into becoming a reckless force of construction, transforming him into a dynamo with a new, unrelenting mission to reshape Duckburg. Written by Bob Gregory and illustrated with energetic flair by Tony Strobl, this 1967 adventure captures Donald’s wild shift in personality, with Steve Steere’s inks, Rome Siemen’s letters, and Western Publishing’s colors bringing the chaos to life. The cover, penciled by Strobl and inked by Larry Mayer, perfectly encapsulates the mayhem to come.

Cement contractor Donald is an old-fashioned craftsman, whom Huey, Dewey, and Louie feel takes far too much time to complete a job with great precision, and receives far too little in compensation for his efforts. They have him hypnotized into becoming a “dynamo, whose destiny it is to reshape Duckburg”. And so, Donald abandons his previously careful, high standards – and goes, and goes, with total reckless abandon, not caring who or what gets in his way!
