I think this might be because Donald Duck is a comic phenomenon in Europe. He and the characters surrounding him (his nephews, uncle Scrooge, Daisy, sometimes Mickey if he’s lucky) has this long-running pocket book series with comic mostly produced by syndicates in Italy. It has been going since at least the 80′s and is translated into multiple languages, so needless to say it was a huge part of our childhoods.
so many duck folks out here and I didn’t even know, my people were with me all along I feel so blessed
(also regarding doodle comics gosh don’t tempt me pal I got too many ideas, but anyway even if I do I can’t hurt you more than the original comics I mean heck have you read A Letter From Home)
