    We can thank Carl Barks for the upgrade from the cartoons.

      Carl gave Donald about a 30-point IQ boost along with fixing the speech impediment.

        For anybody unfamiliar with Barks and his Duck-legacy, look him up on wikipedia, or better yet: Read his classic Uncle Scrooge stories. Best work he has done!

          And I don’t know about the recent reboot, but the Ducktales cartoon from the 80s adapted a lot of Barks stories.

            I must admit I’m not familiar with those. I’m more comic than cartoon minded, and get picky about the drawing-style. Gonna check them out though.

            The 2017 reboot is excellent (arguably better than the 80s series), and adapts stories by Carl Barks as well as Don Rosa.
