Same here, guys, same here.

I almost thought I blogged this one already; or maybe I just read it and set it back in the blog pile. From 1981, Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #491, reprinting from 1949, "Donald Duck's Worst Nightmare" Story and art by Carl Barks.

Donald is in a bad way here, as he is being plagued with recurring nightmares--actually, I guess they aren't recurring, he seems to have a different terrible one every time he falls asleep! When sleeping pills don't help, the nephews get him to a doctor for "remedy number two," to work at something he hates until he wears himself out. That turns out to be crochet, which the "he-man" Donald sees as beneath him. When hours of crocheting doesn't help, Huey, Dewey, and Louie are down to remedy number three: frighten Donald with something worse than his nightmares! They don't have a lot of luck with that: they try to scare him with a bearskin, but Donald had just had a doozy about the zoo leaving the lion cage open, and a mean old bear doesn't compare!

Daisy happens by, to ask what's up with the bearskin, and the boys mention Donald's crocheting, which Daisy just has to see for herself, with the local women's crochet club! (Geez, Daisy, you could at least pretend to be concerned for him for a minute!) Forced to flee, Donald gets himself in a number of predicaments, none of which scare him more than being forced to give a talk on crocheting. A fun story with a fun ending; although I must say I don't recommend any of the three remedies for your nightmares, sorry.
