What the Chuck?


Regular readers of this blog know that I'm fascinated by "Bootleg" Donalds, other comic company's attempts at replicating the Disney Ducks.  Today's Donald knockoff comes from the good people at Fawcett comics:  Chuck Duck.


Blue suit, hat with ribbon, lack of pants... you got yourself a Bootleg Donald.

According to Cartoon SNAP,  Sherlock Monk's sidekick is one of many funny animal creations by Chad Grothkopf.   The above scan is from Hoppy the Marvel Bunny #1, a must-read for funny animal fans.

The Big Blog of Kids' Comics has more information and scans from this forgotten bit of comics history.

"Hilarious" Monkey Shines


I think I've seen this on Gone and Forgotten, but it bears repeating:

THIS IS ONE F**KED-UP AD.


I'll be seeing that Donald Duck in my nightmares for weeks.



Artificial Intelligence, two words combined that can't make sense

  The wonderful world of AI Disney guidebooks, where the rides are made up and the maps don't matter.
