Donald Duck Scrap Drive newspaper strip

This strip appeared in the August 2, 1943 edition of the Tucson Daily Citizen newspaper. During the war Disney supported various home front campaigns including a publicity event for the Los Angeles scrap drive, details of which can be found here and here.

When Donald's request for scrap goes unheeded, he changes his strategy with great success - sort of like the "No Dumping" sign found on the vacant lot at the end of many a street that draws people with wheelbarrows full of yard clippings, like flies to honey.
