Given the cartoons sometimes delve into Donald taking anger management, have there been comics that also try to delve into Donald taking anger management or some measures to control his temper?

Barks twice used the theme of Donald trying to control his temper as a New Year's resolution:
While it's not exactly a temper-control story, here's one where Donald's inability to control his temper conflicts with his (otherwise successful) attempt to impersonate Scrooge:
I was just looking at recent Super Picsou Geant issues on Inducks, and found the following story: Paperino maestro di tranquillità by Manuela Capelli. The Italian summary says "self-control courses...who could do it better than him?" So maybe this counts as anger management?
It's a long time since I read these, but I vaguely remember them to have some anger tempering or related at least efforts by Donald in them, otherwise I apologize:
Role Modeller! (HDL risks being taken in custody by a social worker due to Donald's anger)
...which starts with Donald trying to control his temper using a scientist's special tea. But the tea really makes people more temperamental, not less, and the (crooked) scientist has a special plan for what to do with all of these raging people. The story is mostly about Donald and the nephews trying to stop the scientist while being impeded by their now artificially awful tempers.
It's not really a story about anyone's natural bad temper; but if you want to see all the Ducks throwing crazy fits like the most extreme Donald of 1935 cartoons, it might be your best choice.
And here's one about Donald trying to cure not his temper (which doesn't really figure in the story), but simply his impulsiveness: Scarpa's
I just ran across Snejbjerg's "Anger Management" story when looking through a list of his stories yesterday, and when looking for that again today on Inducks so I could share it with you, I put "anger management" in the Inducks keywords/title box and that yielded *three* stories that haven't been mentioned! Snejbjerg's, plus one by the Shaws and one by Doug Gray.
