Mine too. I guess it’s because you, though Donald’s character shifts all the time, can identify with this duck (especially in Barks’ stories). You can’t really identify with Scrooge (though he’s a great character), Donald’s nephews (Huey, Dewey and Louie), Gladstone Gander or Gyro Gearloose, just to name a few. I think it’s the same with female readers: Is it at all possible to identify with Daisy Duck or Magica de Spell (another great character created by Barks)?
EDIT: Come to think of it, Magica is probably the only female character in the Duckburg universe that it’s possible to identify with. Too bad she’s loosing all the time … Edited by refugee - October 20 2011 at 14:06 |

Yeah, and having this in consideration, its a pitty that there isnt another generation of "inocent cartoons" (calling that in lack of better term) like those. Today its all about super heros exploding the world and no space for nice adventures (although people here enjoy those unicorn animations, but i don´t get it...) |

In fact, Barks’ stories teach the children a lot. He used classic literature like Greek myths (The Golden Fleecing), Keat’s poem Kubla Khan (Tralla La) and Dicken’s A Christmas Carol (Scrooge McDuck was originally modelled on Ebeneezer Scrooge). And Barks was, IMO, one of the best story tellers in the 20th century. Among my favourites are also Lost in the Andes (with the square eggs) and The Golden Helmet.
(I must admit that I wrote this post mainly to bump the thread and ask you if you had a new riddle for us!) |

Absolutely! They are classics! I don’t know your age, but most "donaldists" in Scandinavia are grown ups.

I haven’t read Einstein – though I translated a short biography about him (for children).
I’m afraid I have to go now, but if it’s okay, I’ll start with the two (or three) absolutely necessary questions: 1. Is it a real person? 2. Is it a female? If the answer to question 1 is yes: 3. Is he/she still alive? |

First of all: I can’t believe that I wrote that Keats wrote Kubla Khan. It was Coleridge, of course.
Second: Congratz with new avatar! Third (and this is the question): Is he a character in a novel? Fourth: Now I’m really going. My wife and I will be eating at a restaurant just around the corner. We’ll have Jamaican meat pies, fried brie with a spicy raspberry sauce and … we don’t know yet. |

I have to correct myself again: It was camembert, not brie. Hope you enjoyed your bananas and coffee, desistindo.
 Question: Is he a character in a comic? (He can be both in movies and comics, like Spider Man and Mickey Mouse, so the question is relevant no matter what the answer to ACR’s question is.) |

ACR, I think he’s already answered that question … (and the answer was no).
