In the Disney comics, it’s a running gag that the Duck Avenger and Paperinika cannot figure out their secret identities, while disliking each other...

A fun trope that became the subject of my second contribution to DuckZine, “Suspicion…”

Daffy (as Duck Dodgers), you could be a teammate with or for a Paperinik and Paperinika?

Daffy / Dodgers: I am an IRREPLACEABLE team member.

Paperinik / Duck Avenger: He destroyed 313. Paperinika / Super Daisy: He let the villain get away.

In all honesty, I think he would be annoying at first, but he'd have some talents that the others don't have and they'd end up saving the team occasionally.

I know it's been a while, but I certainly can't help but once again say happy 90th birthday to the best duck that is Donald Duck. Yes, these are the covers of German Donald Duck comics called Lustig Taschenbuch or Donald Duck Pocket Comics. Certainly these covers were drawn by Italian comic artists (I'm not sure if this was drawn by Andrea Freccero, although I'm very familiar with his style). Starting with Donald Duck's 90th birthday cover, then over the summer where Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck play with Donald's cousin Fethry Duck, and there are two covers of Donald and Fethry as detectives to the Ultraheroes cover led by the Duck Avenger (Donald Duck ), and then there's Red Bat, who is actually Fethry Duck's superhero alter ego.

Yes, on August 2, 1964, Fethry Duck appeared for the first time in the comic "The Health Nut", by writer Dick Kinney (brother of animator and writer Jack Kinney) and by artist Al Hubbard. And exactly 60 years have passed since then. So happy birthday to Donald's best cousin Fethry Duck!

So you also have these comics that are not just Topolino, but there are also Egmont comics, which are a Danish edition though.

Please like and reblog if you are a fan of these comics and these characters. Happy Birthday Donald Duck and Fethry Duck!

Pwease elaborate on the following points, I beg this of you:

UltraHeroes Paperinika is best Paperinika?!?

Martina's Duckburg is closer to Barks' than Rosa's is?

DT17 leaked documents about Cimino? :O (Is there a way to read them?)

Sincerely thanks from a lurking lurker who lurks.

Omg no thank you i love elaborating about ducks lol

• Paperinika in Martina’s first few stories was great satire, but the character has since been stuck like that. (We’ll ignore Martina’s subsequent attempt to move away from this by making her fight the evil queen from Snow White and beheading robot clones of herself) Most writers kept her ridiculously ‘feminist’ attitude and personality, or changed her hating men into hating PK specifically. And they generally kept a lot of her negative character traits. So the character became a bit hateful. (Now that i think of it i haven’t read enough Brazilian stories so this is like from what i’ve gathered from Italian and Danish stuff) I’m personally not that much a fan of a hero who’s most defining quality is that she’s a narcissistic prick.

Paperinik moved away from a lot of his own negative character traits (he was a bit of a villain at first after all). But Paperinika did not. Probably a lot of writers still deemed all of those things as ‘funny’ because haha woman mad. On the other hand, Paperinika also fell out of use in Italy, so maybe they didn’t think it was that funny. But they never thought to like, y know change her character.

UNTIL ULTRAHEROES HELL YEAH. So like yeah Ultraheroes wasn’t good or something (though i gotta say i’m personally quite fond of it) but they did reinvent Paperinika’s character. Decided that she’s actually likable now! Moved away from all the sexism and gave her a fun personality that fit modern day Daisy and created one of the most fun love triangles between Daisy, Donald, PK and PKA. Too bad that it didn’t really stick outside of Ultraheroes. So it remains one of, if not the best version of the character for me. The end of the chapter where they go against Spectrus and Zafira is just a fav of mine.

• Rosa’s Duckburg is really un-Barksian. It might all add up in continuity and references, but tonally it’s a whole different universe.

The entire thing is too serious. I might even say it all makes too much sense. Barks never cared much about making sense. Scrooge had a different bin every other story.

Guido Martina was always the king of not making sense. He probably contradicted his own stories more than anyone else. Both hik and Barks never cared about continuity. It’s about the story. Duckburg could change into whatever they wanted, as long as it served the story they wished to tell.

Martina’s Duckburg is pretty different from Barks’. It’s a more cynical, one could say almost parodic version of it, where everything and everyone is terrible. But with that it goes way further in those satirical elements of Barks. Something Rosa rarely did, who told more straightforward consumer friendly epic Hollywood stories.

Like uhh we could take a look at Scrooge. Rosa Scrooge is ultimately a good man. He doesn’t even actually care about money, but about the way he got it! It’s about earning the money and the adventures! And secretly he’s a good person who does give money away.

Martina Scrooge is a bad man. Oh oh oh so bad. Scrooge is used to critique and make fun of the rich that Martina saw around him. He has a comically long list of debts that other people owe him. He got rich by lots of illegal manners, and can get others to do whatever he wants, simply because he has money.

Barks Scrooge is in the middle, but I’d say it leans more to Martina. Scrooge is just a person. Does bad things and good things. He’s full of human contradictions and complexities. But more often than not, even when he’s more neutral, Scrooge is used to make fun off. The stories he tells about how he got rich are ridiculous. They are meant to be laughed at. It’s this difference in tone which is prevalent in most of their writing.

Rosa simply doesn’t use the characters that way. That’s it kinda. Hope this explains my imo a bit lol

• okay shhhh but dont tell anyone

(Sorey, removed the link. Just to stay safe. If anyone still wants it don’t be scared to dm :))

(Kind of scared of getting banned so excuse me if i remove the link in a few days. I recommend you download it to read later. I wrote the longest wall of text to hide it under but the drive i downloaded it from is gone because of disney so like yeah tad bit scared)

And just want to say wow. Thank you for the ask. Like the idea that there are people lurking around reading my posts, like i used to do (and still do) by so many others is insane honestly. Hope you’ve had fun reading my ramblings here, anon :)

Does the Duck Avenger have a Robin or Batgirl

By all accounts he should have a Robin but he doesn’t for the same reason Mickey doesn’t have Bendy as his Harley anymore. He works best as a solo act.

Of course the triplets would try to be his Robin but Donald doesn’t let them because their lives are dangerous enough. Have you seen what they get up to in the ducktales shows? They have enough trouble as is.

But he does have a canon batgirl. In the same comic series where he comes from, Daisy has her own superhero identity, Paperinika (super Daisy in English translations)

She’s canon in my au but since Donmick is also canon, they’re just friends (and cousins)
