Carl Barks had nice run in Our Gang Comics, writing and drawing a couple of "Happy Hound" (Droopy) stories, then a series of Barney Bear and Benny Burro stories. The Barney & Benny stories are good fun, reading like an old radio comedy team (Barney is much funnier in these comics than he ever was in his MGM cartoons) and of course highlighted by Barks' great cartooning. Barks was one of the few Golden Age cartoonists who could really get a sense of animated cartoons onto a static page.
Here is Barney Bear & Benny Burro from Our Gang Comics #16 (March-April 1945); art & story by Carl Barks:
