I see a duck, and I see a cop.
Neither of those things qualify as human.
That’s really unkind to ducks.
Also unkind to pigs. :(
A duck, a pig, and a human are walking in the desert…
I hate to be the one to tell you this, dude, but you’re a duck.
It’s just his last name! It’s not his identity!
If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck…
Which brings up a point- in the comics, Donald appears to speak without any sort of impediment, and is also quite eloquent. In the cartoons… not so much.
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.
It’s probably to do with it being easier to add in speech than in writing. But I’m sure someone on YouTube can make a 10 hour documentary about the deep lore behind it!
It’s a chicken! (Old Cow and Chicken cartoon episode)
Then you should still ask it what it identifies as.
According to that logic, you aren’t a squid either but maybe a duck or… a human??
I am a squid and identify as a squid. Donald obviously is whatever the opposite of a furry is.
A… skinny?
No, wait that’s awful.
Who is going to tell him?
This gives off “Ted Cruz for Human President” vibes.
