Comments

From Lee Suggs: Donald gives Daisy himself for Valentine's Day, with a note "promising to do anything for her". (Probably an attempt by the Duck to save some money.) Of course, Daisy takes advantage and puts him to work building a wall to block the view of her nosey neighbor. (Clara Cluck) Meanwhile Clara is watching her favorite soap opera with her favorite handsome actor. Somehow Clara decides Donald is the realization of her sudsy fantasy. She then begins throwing herself at Donald, which results in Daisy believing Donald is pursuing another "chick". (Is that Politically Correct to say?) Daisy dumps Donald and he agrees to marry Clara so she will leave him alone!? At the last moment Daisy stops the marriage, and declares that she will do anything to win Donald back. So she ends up building the wall, while Donald relaxs in the hot tub. (Hey, maybe Donald is smarter than he appears to be, this all worked out like he planned it or something.)

From Aaron: OH MY GOODNESS! I just plain LOVE THIS ONE! SEE THIS ONE IF YOU CAN! It was STUPENDOUS from beginning to the end. A TRUE masterpiece!
