Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #631
In "Music Hath Charms," Donald Duck confronts the long-buried roots of his rivalry with Gladstone with a twist: through hypnotherapy, he traces their feud back to prehistoric times, where Gladstone’s charm and cunning have always won Daisy’s favor. Written by John Kane and Tom Anderson, with art by Vicar and colors by Colleen Winkler, this 1998 issue explores the absurdly ancient origins of a very modern grudge—complete with a caveman-era showdown that leaves Donald both bewildered and utterly convinced. Cover by Daniel Branca.
