I have no idea what I'm doing

Finally I did another Duck comic, just for you!

Here's a little comic I've been working on and off the past few months! This is just the first half, I'm still working on the second half, that'll be done in a couple weeks I think.

As for why I made this, I guess I just thought it'd be interesting to see Daphne and Magica interact. I wanted to have Daphne encourage a young Magica, who's struggling with her magic, and give her some sort of pep talk.

It was kind of a struggle to write their dialogue together tho, since I had to be sure that an older Magica wouldn't connect her meeting with Daphne to Gladstone later on. Their conversation had to vague enough that no mention of Daphne's name, her luckiness, or even the name of the city Duckberg happens.

It's the same reason why I had Gladstone as still an egg instead of a baby, which I was originally gonna do. But Magica might've connected that to an older Gladstone, plus an egg is easier to draw lol.

So, I translated (shittily) the comic with Magica’s fairy cousin Adelia’s first and last (to date) appearance. I have been seeing people asking to see her, so here she is. Part 1. Part 2.

Bilingual struggles 

Yellow summoned Steven and when he got there, she was there with Blue and White. They shrank down smiling and handed Steven a small shell. He opens it and a tiny pearl goes in the air. It asks for his name and after saying it, a tiny pink pearl comes out and Steven is left in awe. In the background, Pearl felt disgusted and fear slowly took hold.

“I knew you’d like it.“ White smiled.

“I love her! She’s so small and adorable!“

The others smile and nod to each other, even the other Pearls smile as if this was a celebration, but Pearl knew it wasn’t.

“Oooh! What am I gonna call you? I can’t just say Pearl, Pearl’s over there!“ He gestured, not seeing her disgust.

“Hmmm…“ The tiny pearl thought. “I don’t know. You can call me anything, Steven.“

“Uh… How about Pearling?“

“Sounds perfect!“ Pearling clapped.

“Ah, yes! Growing up means to follow your own path and sometimes… leave what you love behind…”

Here is the fourth, the final part of "Little Ducks" series. This issue will conclude this story and finish characters' arcs.

Before Marco Gervasio had revamped Fantomius in 2007, Andreas Pihl and Mardon Smet (sorry for butchering the danish spelling) had imagined a return of the character (who at the times had never been featured in Disney stories) to meet his heir, the Duck Avenger. The story, titled "The Legacy", spawned a trilogy, in wich we are presented to an ally of the gentleman thief, but very different from Dolly Paprika.

The Legacy (Pihl/Smet)

Hot Chemistry (Pihl/Smet)

Once Upon a Time... Urgh! (Pihl/Fecchi)

But why talking about stories that have nearly nothing to do with Pk?

Well, the mood of those stories owe a lot to Pkna. Paperinik rocks a glove which resembles a lot the extransformer and Fantomius himself looks very much like Uno and has a similar backstory to Everett Ducklair (regarding a self-imposed exile in a monastery in the Far East).

The first story was published in the US in 2006, while the trilogy was published in Italy 2009-2010 (not in order). In the italian translation Fantomius was changed into an executor of the will of the original Fantomius, probably because the Fantomius italian readers were accostumed to was quite different from the one described by Pihl and Smet.

The series is concluded, and as I once did with Hemingway series, I think it's worth to collect them in one big file.

The scanlation of the story wasn't an easy decision. It was suggested by @frustratedpker herself. Even though I am aware of original novel popularity, the scans that I found just weren't great, and keeping in mind that I don't know Italian, and can't read the story beforehand, I decided to postpone it. Well, turns out the story was really worth it, and I shouldn't have any doubts in the first place. So... you should thank FrustratedPker for that series, that's for sure. And, don't forget about @scroogemcduckair who did really important corrections to the text overall. (she also owns a brilliant duck-themed discord server, so join if you still haven't)

"We are the four Quarch sisters… And no one will ever divide us…" We proudly present the first part of Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women" adaptation. This issue will tell the introduction of main characters and the challenge that they will face.

The second part of "Little Ducks" has arrived. This issue will tell how our characters will respond to an unescapable threat to their house. But will they be successful?

Sorry about the bad quality I can't get the light to be my friend today :(

Also this must have been done a million times but you know 😬 my creativity will hopefully return soon 💫

Today we celebrate a very special stalker... I mean... duck: Brigitta McBridge!

Zio Paperone e l'ultimo Balabù (1960)

Scrooge's dynamic suitor debuted in the story "Zio Paperone e l'ultimo Balabù" by Romano Scarpa, published on Topolino #243 on 24th July 1960. Brigitta is in fact the fourth original character created by the Venetian cartoonist.

Scrooge: I have no time! Profit's waiting! Brigitta: And what about me? I've been waiting my whole life! Zio Paperone e l'ultimo Balabù (1960)

Though we know her as a resourceful, honest and smart not-so-young woman, Brigitta started off as a pretty ambiguos character. In her second story, "Zio Paperone e il ratto di Brigitta", she meets for the first time another of Scarpa's creations: the finagler, tycoon wanna-be Jubal Pomp who will become a regular partner of her in many bizarre buisnesses... most of the time competing with Scrooge's companies.

Jubal: Success was a little turbulent, but it came just like you predicted! Brigitta: Scrooge's gonna feel much worse than these poor ushers when "Robur Co." will flood the market! Brigitta and Jubal first parternship at Scrooge's expense in "Zio Paperone e la resina d'arabia" (1965)

Her love (or obsession) for Scrooge is destined to be never reciprocated as we know what (or who? 😉) Scrooge's heart truly belongs to! Though we know our favorite Top Hat does have a soft spot for Brigitta... expecially for her cooking abilities!

Goldie: You're Brigitta, aye? I know what you're thinking... but don't worry! I'm old and the ospice is where I belong! Goldie: But listen to me! If you wanna conquer Scrooge's heart, well you gotta have him believe you love his stinginess above everything else! Brigitta: Oh thank you, Goldie! Arriva Paperetta Yè-Yè (1966)

But Brigitta's endeavours have been blessed not only by Glittering Goldie (who's still waiting... and waiting... it's almost like a courtship by proxy 😏) but by Carl Barks himself!!!

The Duck Man was so engaged in Brigitta's character (but we know he was a big fan of italian Disney comics) to even suggest a story with the character to Romano Scarpa and thus "Zio Paperone e il casco d’oro" was born!

Brigitta: Cotton candy and candy canes? Scrooge: Yeah, all yours! My treat, I'd say! Donald: He spent 75 cents! Huey: He must've gone cuckoo! Zio Paperone e il casco d'oro (1976)

Look at this, Barks he even sent Scarpa some sketches:

I mean, not every italian character can boast of having been drawn by Carl Barks!!!

She truly is a very special stalk- duck!!! :DD
