i think Fethry duck is one of the best Donald Duck caracters, his happy, oppurtunistic attitude and postitive good mood makes him one of the most satisfying caracters to read, the rare strips with both him, Gladstone Gander and Donald Duck are in is hillarious

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.

Fethry, yes! I had to look in Google who he was (in Holland, my country of origin, we call him Diederik). The Disney studios used him a lot in the 1960's, and after that period he seemed to be a bit out of fashion (or are there some contemporary cartoonists who rediscovered him?) Great character indeed!

I just read on the internet that new Fethry stories have been made since 2003.

So Fethry is progressive duck after all, no fossil Wink

. Slightly neo-progressive duck.

Maybe the wink indicates that you’re not entirely serious, but since I doubt that you would have made a comment like that if it was Hamlet vs Othello, I just want to mention that my uncle has used a story by Carl Barks in lessons on dramaturgy.

I once had the privilege of translating one of Barks’ stories (together with my brother, but still). I came up with a translation of trick or treat that is used by Norwegian children today, and it earned me a mention on Wikipedia. LOL

OK, another vote for Donald, mainly because of Barks.

I love Gladstone Gander. 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

As people have said, Mickey Mouse is one of the best examples there is of the "inoffensive hero" a character who is completely bland and flavorless, aside from the fact that he is "good", whatever that means. 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,

That might be true but I think they crafted Donald to be the polar opposite of Mickey. And when it comes down to it Uncle Walt had the final say on the product and where they took it.

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).

but..... Carl Barks beats everyone with his imagination and humour and charm, also he created the universe which the others add their flavours

Lucky Luke, Asterix, Tin Tin. is way better.
