He's one of Barks' best creations. And $crooge is the best character that Barks invented.   what are your opinions regarding Don Rosa, I know he is like the second after Barks, me personly i like his eye of details in the drawings all those small details which you don't see the first time you read it through, but you see it the 10th time you read it.... he is a master of subteltie

First of all, I'm not quite as familiar with Don Rosa's work as with Barks's, but from what I have seen from Don Rosa, I would l would like to give a bit of an impression.

I used to be a bit of a Barks - purist, but these days I would like to be more open minded, and I think Don Rosa really adds something to the Duck heritage. He's very, very talented, and as you say, he has an eye for the detail. I do like his style. That he is a very important Duck artist, is without a doubt.

I love the Duck famuly tree you posted, BTW. It's not the first time that I saw it, but I like the fact that he filled in some gaps, and it shows Don Rosa's talent for details (like the twisted branches, and the thing you mentioned about Donald's father).

See also Harry Potter.   Donald Duck is actually entertaining and has a personality.

  I think Mickey suffers most from having bad writers and storytellers, while Donald & Co have had greats like Carl Barks, Al Taliaferro, Don Rosa, Dan Jippes and Marco Rota,

daffy duck  first  the others r boring

do you like Gladstone Gander also he is also a very good character,

but the best character overall is Scrooge McDuck, 

This forum is filled with backwards people.

Donald Duck is the man (or the duck!).  Always preferred him over Mickey, but I can enjoy them both.  Whenever I look back at old cartoons with them, I forget how enjoyable they are.  I probably prefer Warner Bros. characters overall, but the Disney has more of a nostalgic connection to my childhood, up until I was around 6.

Donald Duck, but Daffy Duck is better than both of these
