"You know what you two have in common?"

Well yes (sometimes), but I meant something else

[timidrainycat]

Text: "Both physically / socially isolated from the world due to special cases (being in a mental hospital / being supernaturally lucky since birth), and thus both struggling with socializing and understanding how the world really works"

Bonus:

Kildare: "Is it true you were once in a band with cousin Donald too??"

Gladstone: "Yahs, and I must say I was quite the guitarist!"

Donald Duck really missed his calling with not starting a metal band

Well...

Psst!! May you draw Kildare Coot? :0

Before I go eep finally, here's some Kildare(?) I spotted in DuckTales

"Who is Gizmoduck?"

"Moonvasion"

Found out Pekin ducks have naturally blue eyes... omg...

They all have blue eyes... but they look black most of the time because it's dark blue

I have a hc that the reason their eyes "turn" more light blue when they feel intense (usually negative) emotions is because the third eyelid gets activated. (It's translucent apparently?) Maybe their duck instinct thinks they're definitely about to fight so it automatically protects the eye from potential damage (duck biology stuff)

Now, would that mean that Kildare has light blue eyes 24/7 (except some stories 👀) because he's constantly feeling intense emotions so his fight or flight instinct is ALWAYS on?

My spouse picked up the first issue of the new Uncle Scrooge comic run, and was excited when Scrooge's brother Gideon was referenced, since he rarely comes up in any comics that get translated into English language.

I jokingly quipped I'd personally be more excited if Kildare Coot showed up.

I DID NOT KNOW NOR NECESSARILY THINK THAT WOULD REALLY HAPPEN, BUT LO AND BEHOLD

Gideon McDuck!

Even though he's depicted many times as stressed and workaholic, he still can be a big softie, he just complains a lot (for sure a McDuck)

Some cool information on the origin of the english names Kildare Coot and Dugan Duck (Fethry's nephew) from a post by David Gerstein on the Feathery Society.

Additionally:

Kildare origin comic (1964)

Dugan origin comic (1982)
