A daily Donald Duckcomic strip drawn by Taliaferro and written by BobKarp began running in the United States on February 2, 1938; the Sunday strip began the following year.
Taliaferro and Karp created an even larger cast of characters for Donald's world.
BobKarp worked on the earliest of these, a story called "Donald Duck Finds Pirate Gold".
Scott Karp this week initiated another interesting meme, this time on media economics, basing a post on the work of Mr Plastic Fantastic himself, Umair Haque.
Karp called Haque “possibly the most brilliant mind looking at what’s going in media, and thus in technology”.
But the one point I did want to make is that Karp uses the Haque-isms to suggest there is a bubble in the media forming that will in turn spill over to the wider tech sector.
