Donald Duck

"There is one basic product which is never stocked in the Disney store: parents. Disney’s is a universe of uncles and grand-uncles, nephews and cousins; the male-female relationship is that of eternal fiancés. Scrooge McDuck is Donald’s uncle, Grandma Duck is Donald’s aunt (but not Scrooge’s wife), and Donald is the uncle of Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Cousin Gladstone Gander is a “distant nephew” of Scrooge; he has a nephew of his own called Shamrock, who has two female cousins (DA 649, 1955)." --How to Read Donald Duck (1971) by Ariel Dorfman and Armand Mattelart |

Donald Duck is a cartoon character from The Walt Disney Company. Donald is a white anthropomorphic duck with a yellow-orange bill, legs, and feet. He usually wears a sailor shirt, cap, and a red or black bow tie, but no trousers (except when he goes swimming). Donald's most famous personality trait is his easily provoked and occasionally explosive temper.
