Donald: “Oh my god Fethry, slow down on the juice boxes, it wasn’t that funn- Della I can see you laughing behind your hand, I hate all of you.”
Where is my teenage cousin content??? Where are my ridiculous kids just being 16-13 together, living on their granny’s farm, drinking juice boxes with messy hair and being snarky to one another? If I cannot find it then I will make it myself thanks for coming to my ted talk.

i really like the way @modmad draws the nephews from the original comics, they’re just so cute and precocious! plus I love the classic illustrations where they share a bed with Uncle Donald? i wanted to try my hand at that
!!! the joke here is I always find the triplets super difficult to draw asgjasfjasaf BUT THANKS BUDDY
aaaand that’s a wrap! Sorry this one took so many posts but thems the breaks with a 10 image limit. Thanks again so much for all the kind words and support, I’m sure I don’t have to explain how this one was very hard for me to make, both in terms of drawing and emotionally. I’m really glad it has resonated with so many of you, and hope I can continue to make these and improve!
Also for the inevitable ‘but HDL were EGGS when Della left-’ the thing is I started this comic a loooooong time before that episode of DT aired, and as far as I recall in the comic version she had seen the triplets hatch, so… yeah.
Part one here / part two here / part three here
All doodle comics can be found here on tumblr or here full sized on my website!
Part two! part three will be up (again, hopefully) tomorrow! as ever, open images in new tabs for best reading experience
Also if you’re not familiar with it already, reading the classic Don Rosa comic The Universal Solvent will surely unflummox this update for you!
Luck in the duck comics is a bit of a theme, huh- I’m not sure I have opinions that can’t be overturned by good story writing/unusual situations, but my general understanding of it is there’s a sort of scale that the ducks abide to and which can, in turn, affect the story and how they come out of it. Donald’s luck is probably a little more in the orange than I’ve drawn it here to be honest, and this is all without the important factor of fairness-
I’ve explored it before, but the fun thing about Gladstone and Donald going up against each other is that even though Donald’s luck is bad, if he plays fair and tries hard, then even if Gladstone ‘wins’ the contest or race or prize something always happens that makes it clear that Donald actually is better off without it, and has more valuable treasures in life already. Gladstone’s luck isn’t infallible, either, and if he tries too hard to use it, or uses it badly/for something that he doesn’t deserve, it can go completely against him. I also see him as being genuinely afraid of cursed objects, which would imply that a heavily cursed status is even stronger than his latent Triple Distelfink luck.
In terms of luck ‘cancelling out’ I would say rather than hitting an average point (e.g. Gladstones luck meeting Magica’s luck would equate to low level good luck), it is more interesting and probable that each type of luck would be active, but somehow have to compensate for the other. There’s a story where Donald gets hold of Gladstone’s gold four leaf clover (which would count as ‘augmented’ for him), and it results in everything going horribly wrong like usual… but ends up with the situation fixing itself in an equally dramatic way. He ends up returning the clover because it’s too much stress having to deal with both kinds of luck at once!
OKAY SORRY IT TOOK 1000 YEARS here’s part one of god knows how many bc it ended up being a really ungainly number of pages for tumblr’s 10 image post limit- opening in new tabs recommended for easy reading!
what the heck is this? a duck fan comic! are there more? yes and you can read them over here in full size (or find them on tumblr with this masterpost) also yeah if you want to read this one full size more easily the whole thing is now available to read here! :Tb
