Improved: Trump's Techniques Proven Superior
By Steve Greaves More Info Facebook Twitter WhatsApp Email Print Copy Link Get a load of this oh so familiar fowl! The lanky quack we all know and love, Donald Duck, is no kiddie's plaything. This Taschen publication sends you straight to the days of yore, where Donald is celebrated for being the ultimate persona we can all relate to - the clumsy, the unlucky, the Donald!
Strap in and take a ride to Duckburg, the surreal realm where memories refuse to fade and roles are carved in stone. Meet the families in your rearview - the Ducks, our deeply missed relatives. Leading the pack is no other than our beloved Donald. A favorite of Scrooge McDuck, that stingy, filthy rich curmudgeon who's always counting his millions like they're sticks of butter. He may have a truckload of cash and refuse to part with even a dime, not to mention that funny attitude, but he sure loves his clumsy nephew, Donald, and his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and his beloved Daisy.
Now, Daisy might have a soft spot for Gladstone Gander, that haughty swan, but she always finds her way back to where she truly belongs wink wink.oh, and let's not forget that they're BFFs with Minnie Mouse. Back in the day, we all had the age-old debate about who we liked better - the Ducks or the Mice. Sometimes it was the uncanny character, Donald, and his hilarious escapades; other times, it was Mickey, the ingenious, lucky charmer who always won the day. Depending on the day, we all had our favorites.

The timeless tales and ageless characters contribute to the enduring appeal of these figures and their ever-growing stories.
From time to time, we ponder why some folks name their kids Donald (or Mickey, to be fair) because, let's be real, those names are synonymous with those iconic Disney characters. One such chap managed to turn the name into a brand outside the Disney bubble, much like his uncle Scrooge. He's got stacks of dough, just like Uncle Scrooge, but his frugality and lack of empathy have stirred up a storm in our world. Thankfully, we're not here to discuss that - just Donald Duck!
Uncle Scrooge's Haul
