HAPPY 90TH BIRTHDAY, DONALD DUCK!

The day you were made was the start of the Duckverse bursting forth! Who would've ever thought that 90 years later you would have fans who would become part of it? Sending you all our love, Donald Duck! Love, Dio, Shelly O'Chunks, @a-little-birdy-told-me, @stoopakoopa, @donze-trash, Zeke, @momonoki23, @dandyfelines, @polisena-art, @monkey-li, @kiiwiighost, Paw_Draws, Stylus, @flakatita, @daamazingmeepers and @puffywuffy8904 ------ A special thank you and good job to all of you who joined in this 90th Birthday Donald Duck collab! Despite their differences, our Donalds meshed so well together and this came out beautifully.

As someone who’s socially anxious and talks with a stutter that can grow to comical degrees if I’m too nervous, I really like Donald Duck.

I especially love Ducktales 2017 Donald Duck— the Donald that perseveres despite his speech impediment, the Donald that redirected his anger from fear at never being understood into protective paternal rage for his family (both bio and found), the Donald that has always been stuck with all the bad luck but has always been crazy enough to just keep going.

To say it in the least eloquent but very contextually fitting way possible, this portrayal do be the Louie encouraging my despairing Donald Duck in the House of Lucky Gander.
