I've seen a couple of single-page Lucky Ducks that are not from an eponymous titled comic book, but this one is new to me. It's from Supermouse #28 -- sent my way courtesy of Bob Jaques. Thanks Bob!
Re the gag -- I did a brief search online to see if perhaps it came from something such as a Marx Bros film, as my dad was not above borrowing from them. I didn't see any, but I did see a "night watchman" - "day's work" referenced as early as 1898, as a U.S. Supreme Court case. Apparently you can make a day's pay for a night's work (knight puns need not apply, thank you.) Pay up, Lucky!
