Rare Fethry Duck page by Disney legend Tony Strobl

"Fethry Duck" was Al Hubbard's creation, but did you know the great Tony Strobl also drew the hippy duck? It looks more like Al Hubbard to me, though:

1968 Walt Disney's RARE American-made Fethry Duck comic story located in an old Advertising Promo Magazine by Gulf! Drawn by Tony Strobl. Magazine has condition issues (ripped cover at spine, etc), but the Fethry comic story inside the zine is in Great Shape!

Here's what Wikipedia says about Fethry Duck:

Fethry Duck was created for the Disney Studio Program by Dick Kinney and Al Hubbard and was first used in the story "The Health Nut", published on August 2, 1964. ...The early Fethry comics were created for the Disney Studio Program for publication outside of the United States. An exception to this are three stories with Fethry drawn by Tony Strobl that appeared in Gold Key Comics published in 1966 (Donald Duck #105 and #106 plus Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #304). Also some of the Fethry Studio Program stories were reprinted in the Wonderful World of Disney giveaway magazine published in 1969-1970 for Gulf Oil. Since the mid-1970s, Fethry has mostly appeared in European- and Brazilian-produced stories. (Read more at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fethry_Duck#Fethry_Duck)

It's now been confirmed that the above page is indeed by Al Hubbard, as I thought.

Never heard of Fethry Duck. What was the character supposed to be like?

He was like a hippy cousin of Donald Duck.
