Synopsis: Gladstone is depressed and lonely. The triplets talk Donald into hanging out with him, but it takes Donald a while to understand Gladstone’s attitude for what it is.
tricornking asked: Growing up with the Euro Disney Comics, I never thought about the idea that you could make fan comics of all my beloved characters. Seeing your comics, with Gladstone and Magica, the way you write all of them in a unique way that still rings true with who they fundamentally are, is absolutely inspiring. Thank you for these Duck comics, I absolutely adore them and feel inspired by you. Thank you for this latest great story, it read as if I was reading one of my favorite childhood adventures!
I LIVE FOR THIS thank you so much my dude, I’m so happy people like them and I learn new stuff about making comics every time I make one so= win win win?
Part three of three! Hope you enjoyed it, I had a good time writing this one. It’ll be a while before I can do another though, phew! I’m shattered (hahaha geddit like… like that last page…)
so. SO. @ankkalinna went ahead and sent me a comic i’ve been looking for ever since i made this blog despite me never even telling her that i was looking for it because she just transcended the limits of human communication and directly tuned into my brainwaves i guess.
HOO HOO HOOOOO
it’s the one where magica casts a spell to get the “most important thing to scrooge” and what do you think it is. who do you think it is. it’s not the dime. this post is hard to make because i’m still giddy but it’s donald, of course it’s donald, what else could it be.
and i knew this existed somewhere out there? but i didn’t know the specifics. and i didn’t know that magica, scrooge and donald are all IN THE SAME PLACE AS THIS HAPPENS. PLEASE LOOK AT THE PROCESS OF REALISATION.
this is the only blessed smug donald in existence. all others? highly cursed. this one? reverberating with all the positive energies in the universe.
and of course scrooge just fucking, has none of it. this quality tsundere content. spell must have misfired, day saved, show over, everybody go home and definitely don’t talk to me thanks.
and i think the ending implies that nothing outwardly changes, donald just kind of holds that knowledge in his heart and has a much easier time working and caring for scrooge, then, which, of course, status quo is god, and it’s still super good and sweet, but i also kind of wish he’d get to express the critical levels of smugness he must have reached here.
like i wish he’d never let scrooge hear the end of it. just walks into the bin like fear no more the most important person in your life has arrived. just pulls up to the drive-through like uuhhh a chicken sandwich for my emotionally constipated uncle and a cheeseburger for me, the thing he fears losing most in the world, and maybe a banana milkshake
(the only drawback is that these scans are in finnish, which i speak eight words of, but i swear to god i will find this in german and scanlate it someday. if i’ve ever been meant for anything, it is this)
The last two panels:
Donald: “Someone might say that nothing changed. But still, everything feels so different now.”
hhhHHHHRROROROOARRRGGHHH
I’m crying. This is awesome, but I’m crying and laughing.
merle-casts-zone-of-truth asked: Saw the TAZ reference in your latest doodle comic. Glad to know that podcast has consumed your soul the same way it's consumed mine.
hilariously I had Gladstone riding the broomstick surfer-style sketched in before I got to that part of the podcast?! but when I heard the iconic HAAAANG TEEEENNNN I couldn’t not have that reference in there
curiositykilledthehermit asked: I think I figured it out. The sensitive warning thing is checking for nsfw content and is covering all its bases. Including spelling errors/autocorrect. So it's basically faulting Ducks for having one letter off of the i on a QWERTY keyboard.
if that is true then it’s the most hilarious logical inconvenience I’ve ever had to encounter yet oh god why
Anonymous asked: Hello I was on my phone when I clicked on a link to one of your comics called Eavesdropping and the first pic was flagged for NSFW???
oh my god not again
so yeah hey new folks tumblr keeps flagging my duck posts as NSFW because apparently it just can’t handle all those feathers, so please give feedback saying otherwise because it’s a real pain having to check back on my own work to see if it’s happened Yet Again (I never make NSFW content, I’m pretty sure, unless you count duck kisses which tbh I don’t even know what that counts as…)
Part two of three! Thanks so much for all the encouraging messages you’re all so awesome about these scribbly comics o’ mine. As ever, right click and open in new tabs for the full size images- much easier to see! Also if you are, somehow, new to all this nonsense and the running gag of ‘we don’t talk about Matilda’ go read this here comic (and then maybe some more of these).
