COAT OF SMILES, parody art of iconic symbols. A duck's hat, a mouse's ears and a smiling yellow button. Three iconic things brought together in one artwork.
The PAPERWALKER Journal is the personal weblog of DUCKLAND creator and award-winning character designer Florian Satzinger – who worked on characters such as Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Looney Tunes (Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Silvester etc.), Pinky And The Brain, A.J.Hogg and Scooby-Doo, for studios such as Warner Bros., Disney, ReelFX and Zanuck Family Entertainment – in which he shares bits and pieces of his character design work, processes, visual development, inspirations and reference materials of current, past and future projects.

This is Barks?

⚠️Update: The auction was cancelled.

Auction house Dorotheum (Vienna) currently offers an original artwork by Carl Barks, or so they say: DOROTHEUM VIENNA

I say, I have questions. A lot of them.

The "original" is so massively poorly done, that it can't be Barks' work, can it? Besides, the handwriting on it is clearly not Barks' nor is it his signature, I reckon. And it was done 14 years (see box on the image: "23.3|2014|ME") after Barks' passing?

Please find attached the original comic page, 'Christmas Kiss' (1952), juxtaposed against the auction's copy. The comic page is undisputedly produced by Carls Barks, displaying the proper Daisy drawing which definitely was the source material for the auction's piece.
