Barks' raw sketch

COMMENTS:

In February 1970 Barks wrote to fan Michael Barrier: I've just turned in a 14-page Donald script to Chase Craig. It's about Donald building himself a hotrod car. The kids comment that he wastes his life in such useless projects. He'll never get ahead. The car takes everything Don can earn by a series of flukes of luck, proving the kids are right. It's about the poorest story I ever did, but then, I'm burned out on D.D. ideas.
