An Exquisite Duck!

"An Exquisite Duck!" is a collaborative project launched by the French fanzine "Picsou Soir," in which fan artists create a Donald & Scrooge story together, strip by strip!

“This is the end. My only friend, the end. Of our elaborate plans, the end.” Okay, this might be overly dramatic, because we’ll keep cherishing you, beloved readers. The “An Exquisite Duck!” project, however, ends today, with its 50th episode. For this last outing, the words of Maciej Kur were brought to life by our dear pal @adamok.draws. And so ends a beautiful project that started two years ago, which involved a fine selection of diversified and generous artists.

But don’t be too sad, because you might actually get seconds soon… What do we mean by that? Just wait and see!

After a long (way too long!) interuption, the Exquisite Duck project is back for its last two episodes! This week, you get episode #49, still written by Maciej Kur, and illustrated by our German friend Stefan Binter, another Exquisite Duck veteran! One more to go next week, and we’re donesies...

PSA: Due to unforseen circumstances, "An Exquisite Duck" will be taking a break of undefined duration. But don’t worry, we’ll be back with the last two episodes as soon as humanly (or duckly) possible!

Episode 48 — In the last episode, published two weeks ago, the citizens of Duckburg started rebuilding their city, and Gyro was about to switch Magica and Zlana back into their respective bodies. Counting this one, there remain only three strips till the end! You may thank Maciej Kur for the script (who else?) and Kappa Jack for that dynamic artwork (go see his gallery at https://www.instagram.com/kappajackart/)!

Episode 47 --- Now that the kaijus are K.O., it’s time to start setting things right in Duckburg. And it’s not just bricks and mortar: there’s also a woman walking around in a body that does not belong to her! (Watch out kids, don’t try that at home. Zlana is a trained professional.) The writer is still Maciej Kur, and the artist is Leoruby! (If you like her wonderful colors as much as we do, go and check her work on Tumblr: https://leoruby-draws.tumblr.com/)

Episode 46 — Last time, Scrooge was putting his oratory skills to good use, trying to convince the possessed statue of Cornelius Coot to stop wrecking Duckburg. Did his voice hit right home… or did it fall into deaf ear? Well here's your answer, written by Maciej Kur and illustrated by our new favorite uncle, Laurent "Onc'Duc" Ducrettet (don't forget to pay him a visit on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oncle_duc/)!

Episode 45 — The end is near: only 5 more episodes to go! In this one, we’ll see how exactly our heroes are planning to dispose of the giant statue which, we must remind you, has been mechanized by Gyro and is now possessed by the spirit of Cornelius Coot. Yeah, there’s a lot going on… Once again, the artist is someone you already know: Nicolas Stefadourous, whose first participation was in May 2021! The script is still by Maciej Kur, for whom we really need to find an empty office at Picsou-Soir!

Episode 44 — We're a little late, but it was worth the wait! Despite his busy schedule, Eric Van Elslande found time to draw a new episode of "An Exquisite Duck" just for you, you lucky ducklings! We thank him for that, and you should too. (Remember him? He'd already done Episode 13 back in the day.) And while you're at it, don't forget to thank our scenarist too, the omnipresent Maciej Kur!

[exquisiteduck]

Episode 43 — Through this 43rd episode of "An Exquisite Duck," the team of Picsou-Soir extend their warmest Seasons Greetings to all their readers! (This strip was written by the unmovable Maciej Kur, and drawn by Loris "Kiool" Maiolino, whose first participation goes back to last March!)

[exquisiteduck]

Episode 42 — Ding dong! Did someone order a new episode of "An Exquisite Duck"? Here's Chapter #42, once again written by Maciej Kur, and illustrated by Anthony "Goemonsama" Vaccarelli (remember him? he was responsible for Strip #6, back in July 2020!)

Episode 41 — Ever so slightly behind schedule (Fethry's fault once again!), here comes the 41st episode of your serial "An Exquisite Duck!" Today's contributor is Frenchman Pierre Mischieri (https://www.instagram.com/pierremischierip/). The script was, once again, written by Maciej Kur.

[exquisiteduck]

Episode 40 — Now that Magica and Zlana van Hydroolik are forced to share the same body, they’re locking horns in a struggle for control! Enchantress vs. Scientist: who will emerge the victrix? The answer is brought to you by the talented Knygraphy (https://www.instagram.com/knygraphy/) …  Once again, the script was written by our friend Maciej Kur.

Here comes episode #39—the real one, this time! It was drawn by the Dutch artist Bram Gerritsen (https://www.instagram.com/bramgillustrations/) and written by Maciej Kur, a professional script writer for comics and animation from Poland (https://www.instagram.com/maciejkurmaik/)!

Oh boy, oh boy… That's embarrassing! You see, friends, we've had a few problems with the "Exquisite Duck" lately. Because of that, we were forced to ask Fethry Duck, of all people, to draw us an episode. Predictably enough, he completely botched the job and even fell asleep while doing it! (And to make it worse, for some strange reason, he started with the French version—what a kook!—so that's all we have to show you.) As a punishment, his episode won't "count," so there! Don’t worry though: we'll be back soon with the REAL episode #39! ;-)

[exquisiteduck]

Episode 38 — Enough is enough: if you mess with Duckburg, you mess with Grandma (and friends)! This newest development was written by Jean-Yves "Bukowski" Buathier and drawn by Gaucelm, who’d made the first original strip in this project back in April 2020! (Boy, does that make us feel old…)

[exquisiteduck]

Episode 37 — "Snakes...why'd it have to be snakes?" 😱 Because our newest contributor, Pascal Graffica, has decided so! If you’re afraid of serpents, go have a look at Pascal’s blog instead: pascalgraffica.blogspot.com/ You may "slither" back here later.

Episode 36 — When the situation gets so utterly out of hand, it may become necessary to at least try and parlay with the enemy… Will that work, though?
