    I see a duck, and I see a cop.

    Neither of those things qualify as human.

      It’s just his last name! It’s not his identity!

          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!

          I am a squid and identify as a squid. Donald obviously is whatever the opposite of a furry is.

    This gives off “Ted Cruz for Human President” vibes.
