Third panel shows Donald walking by trash can with large piece of paper sticking out of it, a thought balloon containing an exclamation point appears over his head. Last panel shows Donald with frame cutting top off a 1955 calendar (which is what he found in the trash) that just so happens to have the image of the "Hals" painting. Third panel has 1956 copyright paste-on and fourth panel has King Features Syndicate paste-on. Strip originally ran Apr. 6, 1956. Yellowing to zipatone but as framed, art displays Exc.
