The first issue of Aku Ankka ja kumppanit (Donald Duck & Co.) was published on 5 December 1951[1] and sold 34,017 copies.
[6] There is a popular urban legend that Donald Duck was once banned in Finland for not wearing pants.
National Coalition Party politician Ben Zyskowicz called Holopainen's decision "an accident at work".
[7] A similar incident had taken place a few years earlier in Kemi, and international reports exaggerated the situation in claims that the character's attire and his extramarital relationship with Daisy Duck were the causes of the local ban.
[8] Aku Ankka is one of the most popular weekly publications in Finland as well as the world's largest edition per capita of a Donald Duck magazine.
