You’ve wandered into the topsy-turvy world of Tulgey Wood, the blog of writer and historian Jim Fanning. Tulgey Wood celebrates artistry and creativity (and sometimes just plain madness): movies, animation, TV, books, comics—and of course Disney, lots and lots of true-blue, through-and-through Disney, including D23 and Disney twenty-three Magazine, and Sketches Magazine and the Walt Disney Collectors Society. Tulgey Wood is so fun, fascinating and full of frolicsome photos and facts, it’s scary. So wander through the wonder of it all, and enjoy.

A Birthday Surprise For Unca Donald

Happy 85th anniversary, Donald Duck! That's right, today, June 9, is the official birthday for the mallard of all media, for he was introduced in Walt Disney's The Wise Little Hen, the Silly Symphony short the debuted on this date in 1934. We turn to a Sunday page from the classic Donald Duck comic strip, drawn by Al Taliaferro and written by Bob Karp, as reprinted in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #212 (May 1958). Interesting to note that this Sunday page was originally published in newspapers on December 25th, 1955. Hey Donald, isn't that someone else's birthday? Happy B-day, Mr D, no matter on what date you celebrate.
