Synopsis: Duckburg's police force as well as the substitute police force are down with the flu, so Donald - as a substitute substitute police officer - has to manage alone.

Barks' raw sketch

COMMENTS:

In November 1968 Barks wrote to fan Michael Barrier: I did a 14-page Donald Duck script for Chase Craig a few weeks ago. He now wants me to do more scripts. I am too tired of ducks to get excited.
Two months later Barks wrote to Barrier: My 'Officer for a Day' was a sight-gag story with poor Donald playing the helplessness of a modern police-man to his best ability. The Beagle Boys, a motorcycle gang, and a flying saucer all present unsolvable problems.

Strobl rarely did any inking in his countless stories, although he is frequently perceived as an inker. Instead he churned out fine pencilled sketches, which several other artists would ink. (See more HERE.)
