ONE-PAGERS

Barks only made 8 one-pagers about Christmas despite the vast potential for portraying, especially, Donald and the nephews in various holiday situations - and he only did it within the first few years. However, his few gag pages are all very inventive with surprising punch lines, far from traditionally expected standard jokes.
