The Ephemerist

Donald Duck, the Dutch Disney comics weekly, celebrated its 55th anniversary earlier (well, it’s just as good an anniversary as any, isn’t it ?). On that occasion, they actually buried the cover of their festive issue with an avalanche of older issues (al the while promoting their fancy but expensive collector’s folders). And a quite nice Droste effect, if you can spot it.

(and don’t worry, the normal back cover feature ran again the next week

My kids have a subscription for the Dutch Donald Duck Magazine (the “Happy Weekly”). I read it sometimes for old times’ sake. This week, however (the “Back to School” issue) I actually had to laugh out loud, when I saw the above appearance of John Cleese as Master Kneese, the hyperkinetic headmaster of the Duck Nephews’ school.

does anybody have any idea as to who did this story, and when it originally was published ?
