This story was intended for WDC 64, but it was not published by Western because of the disrespectful treatment of the Christmas theme. Barks' original drawings still exist but for the first half page.
First publication worldwide in the book »The Fine Art of Walt Disney's Donald Duck«.
This cover was intended for WDC 110, but it was not published by Western. However, a strongly reduced version can be found on the back of a Western brochure from fall 1949.
The motif (with Donald instead of Daisy) was used by Walt Kelly for the cover of WDC 111.
