Is this Donald pose inspired by something else?

[Orora]

In old "Picsou Magazine" issues of the late 80s and early 90s, this illustration of Donald would often go along the recipe corner:

I have a feeling this isn't entirely original... is the pose inspired by a Carl Barks pose, a Disney animation reference sheet or an animated short?

Also, it is one of those France-exclusive illustrations with no signature... it is often assumed (and by that, I mean me and maybe a few other people) that it is either Patrice Croci or François Pasquet... maybe even Olivier Fiquet... French artists who'd do cover art and inside decorative art... but it isn't easy to tell who drew what.

The pose itself may not be in it, but the idea is probably inspired by the 1941 short “Chef Donald”.

That's it! That rubbery dough reminded me of something!
