Many years ago Johnny Carson interviewed someone from a federal department in charge of the nation’s dams. His name was Donald Duck. He was born before the cartoon character was created.

Always been partial to Daffy too. Donald is a little too light in the flippers for me.

This was a great scene in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"

Criminally underrepresented as one of the roaming Disney characters at WDW! Apparently there is ACTUALLY a reason for this but it eludes me.

A major contributor to the Allied cause in WW II.Seems Adolf LOVED Donald Duck [thought Donald’s temper tantrums were a riot]. So Donald Duck cartoons were sent to Berlin after acquisition in Spain for the Fuehrer’s viewing. When the U.S got wind of it, they got Disney to turn out a bunch of anti- Nazi, and propaganda Donald Duck cartoons, working on the [largely correct] premise that Hitler would see them. Don’t know what the desired outcome was, or if they succeeded.

Happy Birthday Donald!
