Additional notes:
An original copy of the comic Donald Duck (Walt Disney), Nr. 31-2007. The Dutch edition "Een Vrolijk Weekblad".

The artist has removed all the exclamation marks from the comic with a blade and glued them in patterns to 22 white cards which have been laminated. The whole is contained in a custom-made hinged cardboard box with an indentation in which the cards are located below the comic. The number 745 (indicating the total number of exclamation marks removed) is laser-cut into the cover.

On the back of each card the artist has recorded:

1. The number and date of the comic, in this case Nr. 31 dated 3 Aug(ustus) 07.

2. The page numbers.

3. The date on which he has worked on that page.

4. The number of exclamation marks removed from each page.

He started work on 02/08/07 and finished on 03/01/08.
