Don Rosa says: "The Calendar baggies.... they were just supposed to be portraits. I made each one a complete gag like it was a complete comic cover! But I was paid for just a simple drawing. I'm crazy! ". The drawings can be selected here: Dec. 1st Dec. 2nd Dec. 3rd Dec. 4th Dec. 5th Dec. 6th Dec. 7th Dec. 8th Dec. 9th Dec. 10th Dec. 11th Dec. 12th Dec. 13th Dec. 14th Dec. 15th Dec. 16th Dec. 17th Dec. 18th Dec. 19th Dec. 20th Dec. 21st Dec. 22nd Dec. 23rd Dec. 24th When the drawings were published on-line on Aku Ankka's homepage in December 2001, some minor changes were done to the order of sequence. This being: a) Little Helper was used for December 1st instead of Donald. b) Donald was used for December 5th. c) HD&L were used for December 6th - 8th instead of 5th to 7th. d) The Beagle boys (December 12th) and Neighbour Jones      (December 16th) switched places. When asked about his intentions for the order of sequence Don Rosa said: "I don't think I told them that there needed to be any special order, except that the three nephews had to be in the order I intended since their pics told a 3-panel gag. I also intended for Donald to be no.1, which is why I have him holding a big "1". Did they remove the "1"? But... why would they make the Helper be no.1? That makes no sense."	Christmas Calendar
