Donald's Boat (2017 Continuum)

**Donald's Boat** is a houseboat and the the 2017 Continuum's counterpart to the *Miss Daisy*.

## Description

The latest regular home of Donald Duck and his nephews, this small white houseboat used to be anchored in the Duckburg Marina. Its explosion due to the triplets' recklessness led to the Ducks moving into McDuck Manor, with Donald keeping the wreck in the Manor's pool and progressively fixing it. He finally managed it in 2018, only for it to be sunk again during the battle against Magica De Spell's Shadow Army.

## Behind the scenes

Donald's Boat is a regular setting in *DuckTales 2017*. Though obviously based on the *Miss Daisy*, it probably has another name (as Donald does not appear to be dating Daisy when *DuckTales 2017* opens), and is only referred to as "the boat" or "the houseboat" in the series so far.

***Dolores stories***

**Dolores** is a human woman.

## Description

Dolores, who used to be a waitress in a Los Angeles bar not far from Toontown, is the girlfriend of detective Eddie Valiant. A determined and level-headed woman, she doesn't shirk from helping Eddie in his investigations; on the other hand, she tends to be somewhat jealous.

## Behind the scenes

Dolores was first seen in 1988 in *Who Framed Roger Rabbit*.

### Portrayed By

* Joanna Cassidy (*Who Framed Roger Rabbit*)
Dragon Man

## The Dragon Man

The **"Dragon Man"** is a strange reptilian, humanoid monster

## Description

This strange individual is a man-sized, upright-standing humanoid generally resembling a dragon or a theropod dinosaur. His smooth scales are orange in color, matching his inexplicable mop of red hair. Weirder still, the Dragon Man, who has two “fingers” on each hand, has two antennae ending in small golden spheres.

Whatever he is and wherever he came from, the Dragon Man is recognized as one of the many worldwide self-declared “monsters” who frequent such haunts as Halloween Town and the Hotel Transylvania. Staying at the latter in 2004, he was, like all other customers, admirative of the amazingly competent concierge Donald Duck.

## Behind the scenes

The Dragon Man only ever appeared in 2004 in *Hotel Transylvania*.

The Dragon Man bears some similarities to the anthropomorphic dragon Figment, as well as to the anthropomorphic dragons seen in the non-Disney *Blazing Dragons* animated series.

Like many monsters who stayed at (or worked for) the Hotel Transylvania, it is possible the Dragon Man originally came from the X-Dimension, rather than being native to Earth.
Donald Duck's Transforming Robot

Donald Duck piloting the robot

Donald Duck's Transforming Robot is or was an enormous user-controlled robot.

## Description

The Transforming Robot was an enormous robot which could be controlled by a person sitting in its head. It could be transformed into a car for transport. The robot had a skateboard-like device equipped with a rocket engine, which, when in car mode, sat on the car's roof. The robot resembled Donald Duck, and was, in fact, piloted by him. The Robot's purpose or its creator are unknown, as is whether the Robot still exists. Two variations of the Robot are known to exist: one in monochrome and one in a Halloween theme, although it is unknown whether they are variations on the same robot or different robots entirely.

## Behind the scenes

Donald Duck's Transforming Robot was part of the *Disney Transformers* line (which had no relation to the rest of the *Transformers* series). No explanation of what it was or how and why it came to be was given, and it is unknown if it can even be considered canonical, being that it only appeared in one toy line.

## Behind the Scenes

### In

*Let's Get Dangerous!*

**Doctor Thaddeus Waddlemeyer** is or was an anthropomorphic duck and Professor Waddlemeyer's counterpart in the 2017 Continuum.

## Description

A friend and business partner of Taurus Bulba, Waddlemeyer created the Ram Rod under his instructions. However, after more closely examining the functions of the device, Thaddeus discovered a dangerous instability in the device that could threaten the entire universe were the machine used too many times. He ran to warn Bulba of this discovery, unaware that Bulba was fully aware of-and entirely unconcerned with-this potential development. Bulba then used the Ram Rod to trap Thaddeus in an unknown parallel universe.

Thaddeus' beloved granddaughter, Gosalyn, sought to solve the mystery of his disappearance, and to expose Bulba after he claimed sole credit for the creation of the Ram Rod. She enlisted Drake Mallard, alias Darkwing Duck, in her efforts, though Bulba briefly tried to convince him that Thaddeus had perished in an accident involving the Ram Rod after going mad. Bulba's lies were soon exposed, and Gosalyn became determined to locate her grandfather, but was forced to destroy the Ram Rod before it could destroy the universe. However, Drake, who took Gosalyn on as a member of his new crime-fighting team, assured her that they would make every effort to locate and successfully rescue Thaddeus.

## Behind the scenes

The 2017 version of Doctor Waddlemeyer first apepared in the DuckTales 2017 episode *Let's Get Dangerous!*, which aired November 19, 2020. Unlike his predecessor from *Darkwing Duck*, he was revealed to have the first name of Thaddeus, possibly a nod to Tad Stones, who created the original series.
Donna Duck

**Donna Duck** is a female anthropomorphic duck.

## Description

A seductive Mexican *élégante*, Donna Duck had a fling with Donald Duck in 1937 before Donald more lastingly fixed himself up with Donna's near-lookalike Daisy Duck. On top of no small amounts of pride, Donna shares Donald's irritability. Since dating Donald, Donna, who has since moved to Duckburg, had a string of boyfriends, including one Manuel Gonzales and Donald's own cousin Whitewater.

## Behind the scenes

Donna first appeared in the 1937 cartoon *Don Donald*.

### Relationship with Daisy Duck

She was a precursor to Daisy Duck, with the out-of-universe consensus being that Donna is little more than Daisy under another name and in Mexican garb (a fact even acknowledged in the reference book *The Duckburg Dictionary*). In-universe, however, they were established as different people as early as the 1950's, when she appeared alongside Daisy in the Al Taliaferro-drawn *Donald Duck* comic strips, with all the humorous possibilities of Daisy coming face to face with an ex of Donald's. Carl Barks (who contributed to Daisy's creation, having written for her debut film *Mr Duck Steps Out*) went on record to note he did not think of Donna and Daisy as a single character at the time.

Nevertheless, the 1995 story *Donald Duck and the Secret of the 313* (written by Fabio Michelini) instead depicted *Don Donald* as an in-universe film in which Donald starred as himself, and Daisy as the apparently fictional "Donna". The best way to reconcile this puzzling fact with established continuity is to assume the shooting seen in the 1995 tale was of a film *based on* the events of *Don Donald*, which remains, in and on themselves, canonical in its own right.

### Other Matters

Due to her stark resemblance to her successor Daisy, it has sometimes been speculated that Donna is none other than Daisy's Sister, the ever-offscreen mother of April, May and June. This opinion has been echoed by Don Rosa. Such an interpretation butchers previous continuity, however, as Daisy and Donna are shown not to know one another during their meeting in the 1950's Taliaferro strips.

Curiously, INDUCKS has two different codes for the character, one for the original Donna of the 1930's, and another for the version of the character used in the 1950's in the comic-strips. This may be due to the slightly modernized appearance of Taliaferro's Donna, who notably gained a shirt, where her only items of clothing in the original cartoon were her headdress and a shawl.

During the big day of the contest, while dancing with Daisy, Donald, in his Duck Avenger disguise, accidently knocks a drink on his shoes, which makes them go haywire and storms around the area. When Daisy realizes his shoes were the ones that made him dance, she begins to wish she should've dance with Donald because he always put effort into his actions and did anything and everything for her.

Donald Voodoo Doll

A Spatter holding the Doll.

The **“Donald Voodoo Doll”** is a voodoo doll of Animatronic Donald Duck.

## Description

A rough likeness of Wasteland's Animatronic Donald, this Voodoo Doll was created in mysterious circumstances and ended up in the possession of Metairie, who tried to lift the curse, but had it stolen from her by a Spatter before she could do so. In 2010, Animatronic Donald's body was reassembled and he began feeling the effects of the voodoo doll which the Spatter now carelessly played with.

Donald and Metairie had Mickey Mouse (then visiting Wasteland) track down the Spatter and the Doll and bring the latter back to them; Donald then instructed Mickey to give it to someone who'd keep it safe, predicting that he was, for his part, too unlucky and clumsy to be trusted with it. Mickey chose Donald's girlfriend Animatronic Daisy, who, while unaware of the Voodoo Doll's status as anything more than a "cute doll", promised to keep it safe.

## Behind the scenes

The Donald Voodoo Doll serves as a secondary quest item in the 2010 video game *Epic Mickey*.
Doctor Quackmire Quantum

**Doctor Quackmire Quantum** is an anthropomorphic duck from the 2017 Continuum.

## Description

A self-proclaimed evil scientist, Doctor Quackmire Quantum often has trouble getting government grants for his work, having to resort to treasure hunting in his spare time to pay the bills. This often brings him into conflict with fellow treasure hunter Scrooge McDuck.

On one notable occasion, the two fought over the Golden Calf of Latte, which he meant to use to create a Caffeine Bomb — with McDuck soon emerging as the victor. Angered at this, Quantum attempted to vaporize McDuck with a laser gun, but missed, hitting the rope bridge on which he was standing and sending McDuck plummeting into the river below, a fall which he only survived thanks to the ship parked directly below him.

## Behind the scenes

Docor Quackmire Quantum made his first and only appearance in *Go, Go Golden Years!* in 2018.

Doughnut Maker

## The Doughnut Maker(2017 Continuum)

The **Doughnut Maker** is a sentient robot from the 2017 Continuum.

## Description

The robotic Doughnut Maker's creation was undertaken by Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera in 2019 in order to get his mother the cinnamon-flavored doughnuts she so desired for her birthday. While Fenton went off as Gizmoduck to prevent a robbery, however, Gyro Gearloose stumbled upon the unfinished prototype and decided to make his own improvements.

This cursory interference by Gyro was enough for the robot to turn sentient and evil, like all of Gyro's robots. The Doughnut Maker proceeded to run amok in Duckburg, using its high-pressure spray of dough paste as a weapon, until Gizmoduck and Fethry Duck managed to shut it down by reflecting the paste back at it and therefore putting its systems into overheat, as all exhale ports were jammed.

## Behind the scenes

The Money-Sorting Machine appears in the 2019 *DuckTales 2017* comic *The Incredible Shrinking Webby*.

Dragonia

**Dragonia** is some sort of island located on Earth.

## Description

It is unknown if Dragonia is an independant country or a region under the control of a larger land. At any rate, it seems to be a small, obscure island somewhere in the Atlantic, inhabited by an English-speaking population. Dragonia's commerce revolves around dairy products, hence why the Dragonians were quite distressed when, in the early 1950's, a dragon appeared and began hoarding — or, rather, *herding* — all the cows that were to be found on the island.

Peter Pan heard of this and tried several times to rid them of the dragon, becoming quite well-known to the inhabitants who came to overlook the absurdity of their whole situation. Finally, in 1953, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck (along with their uncle Donald, lured in by the prospect of a "big reward") were brought to Dragonia by Pan, and managed to defeat the dragon. Not above cutting corners, the Dragonian officials gave Donald ownership of the *dragon* as "reward".

## Behind the scenes

Dragonia was only ever seen in the 1953 story *Donald Duck meets Peter Pan*.
Darkness Pump

The **Darkness Pump** is a mysterious device used by Concavia Light Works.

Mickey Mouse marveled at this device when Wing Ding showed it to him during his 1954 visit to Concavia.

## Behind the scenes

The Darkness Pump appears in the 1954 story *A Fatal Occupation*.

## Description

The fat and rather clumsy boy called Doofus Drake is a well-respected Junior Woodchuck as well as a friend of Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck. Doofus has a strong moral vibe, but is, on the other end, rather dim-witted, and unconditionally admires Launchpad McQuack as a hero in spite of Launchpad's incessant blunders.

## Behind the scenes

Doofus Drake first appeared in September of 1987 in *Where No Duck Has Gone Before*, an episode of *DuckTales*. He might be a distant relative of Sir Francis Drake, although that is unconfirmed.

Department of Technological Advancement

## Organization

### Purpose

To oversee and promote technological innovation within the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids

## Behind the scenes

### In

*Pessimist and the Dromedaries*

 The **Department of Technological Advancement** is one of the departments of the Cupid Intelligence Institute, itself a subdivision of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids.

## Description

The Department of Technological Advancement is, one assumes, dedicated to the promotion of technological innovation within the Cupid Homeworld for the betterment of the Crew. At some point prior to 2019, they partnered up with the Department of Transportation with the goal of creating a line of artificially intelligent Fog Ships, but only ever produced one prototype. It turned out to be *too* intelligent and independent-minded to be reliable during missions, leading to the project's creator cancelling their plans and giving the single intelligent Ship away to Pessimist-242.

## Behind the scenes

The Department of Technological Advancement was only ever mentioned in 2019's *Pessimist and the Dromedaries* (2019).
Doctor Blackduck

**Doctor Blackduck** was an anthropomorphic duck.

## Description

The beloved son of the 18th century pirate Ferdinand Blackduck and his wife Mrs Blackduck, this young man disappointed his father by becoming a dentist rather than a pirate. Ferdinand was so enraged that he swore to remain on Earth as a ghost as long as it would take for one of his descendants to take up the mantle that Dr Blackduck had so frivolously discarded. For his part, Dr Blackduck apparently lived a quiet life of little interest; it is possible that he had children, but if so, none of them, nor their descendants, had yet showed an interest in piracy by the year 2000 (as by then, Ferdinand's ghost had turned to his great-great-great-grand*nephew*, Michael).

## Behind the scenes

Doctor Blackduck was only ever (briefly) seen in 2000 story *The Last of the Blackducks*.

His mother's resemblance to Daisy Duck goes unexplained. It is possible she was part of one of the Duck family's lines of ancestry, which would make Doctor Blackduck a Duck relative as well.
Dimension ^6-Q

**Dimension ^6-Q** is a parallel universe to the Prime Universe.

## Description

Dimension ^6-Q is famed amongst the community of interdimensional travellers for the twenty-four-star Gambit System it contains (some of whose stars can, somehow, be tasted — and taste very good indeed). In 2019, the interdimensional speeding race between Lilathia and Brutus saw the two extraterrestrials briefly crashing through Dimension ^6-Q, an event which caused energy ripples across the dimension's timeline and somehow led to the creation of two additional suns for the System — which had, thus far, only comprised twenty-*two* stars.

## Behind the scenes

Dimension ^6-Q was first mentioned, offhand, in 2019's *Cupid Fact File No. 124 — The Interdimensional Tavern*. It then briefly appeared in *Marksmanship-522 and the Multi-Dimensional Race*.
Dimwitty Duck

**Dimwitty Duck**, also spelled **Dim-Witty Duck**, is a male anthropomorphic duck.

## Description

Donald Duck's cousin, whose lack of common sense is matched only by his lack of good taste in clothing, was first observed in Duckburg as an assistant in a detective firm founded by Donald and Daisy, but later found a more reliable job as the one and only ship-hand of his uncle Moby Duck.

## Behind the scenes

Dimwitty Duck first appeared in 1968 in the Vic Lockman and Tony Strobl story *The Vanishing Banister*.

Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree Sketch

***The Duck Family Tree (Tentative***, better-known as simply **Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree Sketch**, was Don Rosa's earliest draft of his later, more notorious version of the Duck Family Tree, a simple sketch without any portraits as opposed to an illustration. It features Sir Stuft McDuck, Sir Swamphole McDuck, Sir Eider McDuck, Sir Quackly McDuck, Malcolm McDuck, Seafoam McDuck, Sir Roast McDuck, Molly Mallard, Titus McDuck, Quagmire McDuck, Pothole McDuck, Jake McDuck, Fergus McDuck, Downy O'Drake, Matilda McDuck, Scrooge McDuck, Hortense McDuck, Quackmore Duck, Della Duck, Donald Duck, Mr Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, Goosetave Gander, Pintail Duck, Humperdink Duck, Elvira Duck, Daphne Duck, Gladstone Gander, Eider Duck, Fethry Duck, Whitewater Duck, Clinton Coot, Gertrude Gadwall, Fanny Coot, Luke Goose, Gus Goose, Gretchen Grebe, Cuthbert Coot, Cornelius Coot, *and* several characters wh did not make it t the final tree, including Ludwig von Drake, Daisy Duck, April, May and June, Susiebelle Swan, Dimwitty Duck and Moby Duck.

## Description

### Additional characters

This early version of Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree is most notable for confirming the idea that Mr Duck is in fact Daisy Duck's brother, an idea absent from (but not contradicted by) the finished tree. It also includes Susiebelle Swan, described as “Goosetave Gander's grandmother's unmarried sister”, and the detail of Ludwig von Drake as Matilda McDuck's husband. “Old Scotty” is included as a nickname for Fergus McDuck, and Dimwitty Duck is inserted as one more sibling of Fethry Duck and Whitewater Duck.

### Discarded directions

Crossed-out, but still visible, Moby Duck was briefly considered as the father of Fethry Duck, Whitewater Duck and Dimwitty Duck (the latter of whom was, besides, cut from the tree) until Rosa decided to switch him out for Eider Duck and keep Moby off the tree altogether. A crossed-out “Gander” also suggests that Rosa briefly considered making Gus Goose's mother Fanny a sister of Gladstone Gander's father Goosetave, rather than a sibling of Donald Duck's cousin-once-removed Cuthbert Coot. Seafoam McDuck, in addition, is depicted as Scrooge McDuck's great-great-great-grandfather; in the finished Don Rosa lore, he was knocked down a generation, being referred t as merely Scrooge's great-great-grandfather. Finally, Scrooge McDuck's mother Downy is given the maiden name "Duck", instead of the later, more distinctive "O'Drake".

### Supplementary information

The tree also includes years of birth and (where relevant) of death for a number of characters, as detailed below.

## Behind the scenes

This early version of Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree, presumably created around 1992, was later printed as an extra in the various worldwide versions of the *Don Rosa Library*, include Volume 5 of Fantagraphics's American printing thereof.
Donald Gets Spooked

Title page.

***Donald Gets Spooked*** is an illustrated text story. It features Donald Duck, Chip and Dale, and Mickey Mouse.

## Description

After Donald refuses to give Chip and Dale candy on Halloween, they decide to make him think that his house is haunted by moaning spookily into the chimney.

## Behind the scenes

*Donald Gets Spooked* was featured in the book*Disney's Two-Minute Good Night Stories* in 1988. It was written by Mary Packard and illustrated by Bill Langley, Diana Wakeman, and Patricia Keppler (or perhaps only one of the three, as the illustration credits are given in a group on the book's title page rather than individually by the story).
Double-O-Duck (2017 Continuum)

**Double-O-Duck** is an alternative persona's of Launchpad McQuack, originating in the 2017 Continuum.

## Description

Inspired by the lore and style of the video game of the same name, this “Double-O-Duck” was a hyperintelligent, British-accented super-spy and champion of right, “born” from the reaches of Launchpad McQuack when he was accidentally blasted with Black Heron's Intello-Ray. He helped save the day from Steelbeak's attempt to rob all Duckburgers of their intelligence with the same ray but, in the process, had to let himself be blasted by the intelligence-draining version of the ray. This restored Launchpad to normal, but Double-O-Duck's consciousness continued to exist inside his mindscape, more or less unable to contact the regular Launchpad. After a few futile attempts to get Launchpad to warn Scrooge McDuck about the threat of F.O.W.L., Double-O-Duck gave up and decided to “go for a soak”.

## Behind the scenes

Double-O-Duck appears in the 2020 *DuckTales 2017* episode *Double-O-Duck in You Only Crash Twice*.
Duck County

Old Blackie and his crows are chased out of Duck County and into Goose Egg County.

### Location

Calisota
(near Goose Egg County)

## Behind the scenes

### In

*Getting Thor*

**Duck County** is a county within the United States of America.

## Description

Duck County is one of the counties within the state of Calisota — by all appearances the most important one, it is the one which contains the city of Duckburg. One of its neighbouring counties is Goose Egg County, with the limit between the two lying in a countryside area, near a barn. In 1958, the Little Helper successfully chased Old Blackie and his crows out of Duck County and into Goose Egg County after they endangered Gyro Gearloose's strawberry patch.

## Behind the scenes

Duck County was mentioned in the 1958 story *Getting Thor*. In contrast, *Truant Troubles* (1951) mentions a Webfoot County as the likely location of Duckburg.
Donald Duck's Lawyer

**Donald Duck's Lawyer** is a man of unclear species, though most probably a human.

## Description

In September of 1947, following his dispute with Pierre, Donald Duck was defended in court by this melodramatic lawyer. Despite his great efforts to paint Donald as an innocent victim of circumstances, his plea was only partially successful, with Donald still being sentenced to washing dishes for ten days at *Chez Pierre* — although this proved equally punishing to Pierre, considering how many dishes Donald broke in the process.

## Behind the scenes

Donald Duck's Lawyer appears in the 1948 cartoon *The Trial of Donald Duck*.

Only his hands are ever seen, making his species somewhat ambiguous; however, although he could theoretically be an anthropomorphic pig or an anthropomorphic dog, the fact that the other two humanoid characters in the cartoon (the Judge and Pierre) are both *Homo Sapiens* suggests that had he been visible, the Lawyer would likewise have been depicted as one.

His voice actor is not credited.
Donald Duck meets Peter Pan

First page of the story.

***Donald Duck meets Peter Pan*** is a comic story written by Del Connell and drawn by Bob Moore. It features Donald Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, Peter Pan, Tinker Bell and the Dragon of Dragonia while also mentioning Scrooge McDuck.

## Plot

After failing to help the citizens of Dragonia get rid of a particularly troublesome dragon, Peter Pan overhears Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck idly wishing they'd get the chance to fight a real, live dragon… and, in typical Peter Pan fashion, whisks the triplets and their uncle off to Dragonia to fight the beast, heralding them as great dragon-slayers! It will take a combination of the nephews' wit and bravery, and a little bit of Tinker Bell's pixie dust, to accomplish this "feat of legend"…

## Behind the scenes

This story was only ever printed once in the United States of America, in the 1953 one-shot issue *Peter Pan Treasure Chest*. It was also printed in English in the Australian *One-Shot* #51 and *Donald Duck* #216, and was also serialized in the United Kingdom between issues #33 and #36 of *Mickey Mouse*.

Together, Donald and Daisy begin to tell the kids stories about the west, the Native American groups who inhabited it and the explorers and conquistadors who conquered it.

## Behind the scenes

Donald Duck, TV Star!

The cover of the book in which the story was published.

***Donald Duck at the Toy Store*** is an illustrated text story written by Mary Carey. It features Donald Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck and the Mayor. A portrait of Scrooge McDuck can also be seen, as can the face of Captain Hook on a TV screen.

## Description

Listlessly watching TV, Donald Duck is suddenly inspired to become a TV star and instantly heads to the nearest movie studio, where he is given a job as a stunt driver. Predictably, things go very wrong very quickly.

### References

* Donald's reckless driving takes him to the Town Hall, where he disturbs the Mayor, a balding middle-aged dognose with glasses and a red tie.

### Continuity

* Donald and the children appear to be watching a repeat of *Peter Pan* (1953) on TV, indicating that the movie, like many other Disney productions, exists in-universe.

## Behind the scenes

*Donald Duck , TV Star* was published as book #6 of the *Disney Easy Readers* series in 1988.

The story features a portrait of Scrooge McDuck hanging in Donald Duck's house which appears to be rather off-model; not only does Scrooge not wear his usual costume but one rather more ostentatious than the miser would usually be caught dead in, but he is depicted with gray hair instead of feather-colored whiskers, as occasionally happened in the 1950's and had been brought back into public consciousness by Scrooge's portrayal of Ebenezer Scrooge in *Mickey's Christmas Carol*.

The atypical framed portrait of Scrooge.
Diary of Sinbad Duck, Sailor and Merchant

Donald Duck blowing off dust from the first page of “the Diary”.

The ***Diary of Sinbad Duck, Sailor and Merchant*** is the personal diary of Sinbad Duck.

## Description

The *Diary* is a document concerning Sinbad Duck, an ancestor of Donald Duck, and records his fantastical voyages up until his marriage to Deysi, at which point the book, ended, although acknowledging that Sinbad and his bride lived through many other adventures together in later years. Despite occasionally referring to Sinbad in the third person, the book was apparently written by Sinbad himself. By 1985, it had ended up inside Scrooge McDuck's personal library in his Money Bin, where Donald Duck found it and read through it upon being hired by Scrooge to dust the library.

## Behind the scenes

The *Diary* and Donald Duck's reading of it form the backbone of the 1985 comic story *The Adventures of Sinbad Duck*.
Dirk the Dinosaur

First page of the story.

***Dirk the Dinosaur*** is a comic story written by Patsy Trench and Bob Bartholomew and drawn by Vicar. It features Donald Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck and Gyro Gearloose.

## Synopsis

Donald Duck and his nephews, gazing dreamily at the skeleton of a dinosaur in the Duckburg Museum, explain to the curious tour guide that they actually hatched and raised that dinosaur a year earlier thanks to Gyro Gearloose's Time Coupe.

## Behind the scenes

This story was first published on September the 1st, 1986 in the Danish *Anders And & Co.* #1986-37. It is the first story to feature the Time Coupe and has therefore sometimes been considered a "Chapter 0" of the *Time Machine* series.

## Behind the Scenes

### Index

***Donald Duck the Troublemaker stories***

**Donald Duck** is an anthropomorphic duck.

## Description

This man, called Donald Duck, is an unrepentant ruckus-rouser who purposefully lives beyond his means. Taking pride in his infamous reputation as a trouble-making big-spender, Duck is a frequent tabloid target and loves the attention that goes with it.

In early 2002, Duck temporarily stirred up trouble in Duckburg, getting his local lookalike and namesake, the hapless, unlucky nephew of Scrooge McDuck, in deep trouble in the process. Not long after, Duck left Duckburg, swearing never to return, as he was *offended* that the people there could confuse him with someone so "ordinary" as the other Donald Duck.

## Behind the scenes

This Donald Duck lookalike only ever appeared in 2002 in William Van Horn's story *Double Trouble*.
Donald's Nephews (1937)

The strip.

***Donalds Nephews*** is a newspaper strip from 1937. It features Donald Duck and in their debut, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck. Della Duck and Mr Duck are mentioned. This page also starts an arc that lasts for the next 5 pages, of Donald dealing with his nephews.

## Plot

Donald Duck gets a letter from his cousin, Della, informing him that his nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, are coming to visit him as their father is in the hospital thanks to a firecracker which exploded under his chair. When Donald opens the door, the handle's been electrocuted. When he goes back inside, there's a bucket of water over the door, and the nephews make their appearance.

## Behind the scenes

This newspaper strip is the debut of Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck as well as the first mention of Della Duck and Mr Duck. It was written by Ted Osborne and drawn by Al Taliaferro. It was first printed in newspapers on October the 17th, 1937.

The following year, a short animated cartoon was released, based on the same concept.

Devil

## The Devil

* In Medieval Times
* 1929
* 1992

The **Devil**, also known as **Satan**, **Lucifer** and **Beelzebub**, was a powerful supernatural figure, the ur-demon.

## Description

A leader of demons and the Ruler of Hell, the Devil is a brutish tyrant with a sadistic streak. The Devil has gone by many names, such as Satan, Lucifer and Beelzebub; if some accounts are to be believed, even Chernabog, the demon of Bald Mountain, is but an alias or aspect of the Devil himself, making Chernabog yet another name for the same malevolent being.

Perpetually seeking to entrap more souls of the deceased into servitude, he dispatches demons such as Mephistopheles to the world of the living to make deals with desperate mortals, though he will just as soon torture his own demonic agents if no mortals are available. Although an imp once managed to escape his wrath in 1929, by causing him to fall into a chasm and be consumed by the Living Hellfire, this did not permanently kill Beelzebub, who would return in time, with a new appearance but all his malice intact.

## Behind the scenes

The Devil first appeared in 1930 in *Hell's Bells*.
