Disney Christmas Story
''Disney Christmas Story'' is an American Disney comic strip that appeared each year in the weeks before Christmas, beginning in 1960. The strip ran Monday to Saturday for the three to four weeks leading up to Christmas Eve, and often promoted the latest Disney release or re-release. The strips were usually not published on the newspaper's comics page; they appeared at the bottom of the page somewhere else in the paper, so that the reader would have to hunt for it, and not-coincidentally pass by some of the Christmas advertising. The strip appeared every year until 1987. In 2017, the Christmas stories were collected in a hardback volume, ''Disney's Christmas Classics'', published by IDW Publishing. The collection includes all of the Christmas stories except for 1986's story based on '' Song of the South''. Development Unlike most Disney comic strips, ''Disney Christmas Story'' actively mixed characters from different Disney films—for example, in 1962, Ludwig Von Drake saved P ...
