while reading through the barks archive i screencapped every non-standard duck outfit for reasons that are frankly beyond me and now i have all this data and no possible use for it? here’s some favourites, i guess. ducks are cute.

you’ll notice that most of the duck family’s costume changes are situational - befitting the weather or their job or some special occasion - while scrooge went through a lot of outfits before settling on his standard one - the transition from gowns worn by old men who just want to be comfortable to jackets worn in the streets matches his character evolution - while gladstone is the only main character to regularly change his clothes and colour scheme for no reason other than fa-fa-fa-fashion.
