I wondered.&nbsp; And I thought back to a little story called <a href=\"https:\/\/duckcomicsrevue.blogspot.com\/2024\/08\/the-vat-man.html\">&#8220;The Vat Man&#8221;<\/a> that I covered a few years back.&nbsp; It&#8217;s a late seventies Bob Gregory story, so your expectations might not exactly have been sky-high, but it was kind of charming in its own way, and not depressingly regressive.&nbsp; So I decided to return to that well, and here we have a few more Daisy and Donald Gregory stories that I find to be Not Too Bad.&nbsp; I mean, obviously you can&#8217;t expect TOO much from Gregory material of this era, but&#8230;well, let&#8217;s check &#8217;em out!<\/p>\n<p><span><a name=\"more\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/a\/AVvXsEjuIb-0tl49_4Wj6IMoD9ItDQVGYU8WjnUF-EpPByczA0Gd5kSRC4c4CCLKcNOv1s0OjW27jIihTpbOw2kZStQZema7gBCmzx0sFpOwZ8-wXXK7J9UGBUD4fytVm1yV5R_39-axuXnEFzaYjTuaNqAKUsocyIBt6A5RPBs22EtmaK7WuCtpqv6FqD3HdwJP\" style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-original-height=\"549\" data-original-width=\"915\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/a\/AVvXsEjuIb-0tl49_4Wj6IMoD9ItDQVGYU8WjnUF-EpPByczA0Gd5kSRC4c4CCLKcNOv1s0OjW27jIihTpbOw2kZStQZema7gBCmzx0sFpOwZ8-wXXK7J9UGBUD4fytVm1yV5R_39-axuXnEFzaYjTuaNqAKUsocyIBt6A5RPBs22EtmaK7WuCtpqv6FqD3HdwJP=w400-h240\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Look, I&#8217;m not going to comment much if at all on the art here, because it is what it is.&nbsp;
