Description

Daisy Duck made her debut as Donna Duck in the 1937 cartoon "Don Donald."  Some say Daisy's official debut was in the 1940 cartoon "Mr. Duck Steps Out," but I say nay, because besides a different first name there were no other differences between Daisy and Donna, not in looks, nor voice, nor temperament.  She was an actress who changed her name (or, rather, her studio changed it for her), something not unheard of in Hollywood.

Tyler did such a great job on these interlocking cards of Daisy and Donald in their costumes from Don Donald.  The characters' over-the-top personalities really come through, and the whole scene is skillfully drawn and masterfully colored.

It's just early and off model enough that you can see it's the early Donald and Daisy that's not quite the look we recognize today.

Their 1930s versions looked more like wild fowl than the cuter, later versions.

Nice looking pair!! I haven't seen these early appearances in cartoon form but this makes me want to.
