Ace of Garlic Bread's Drawtober 2025: Sacrifice

Duckvember - Dead, Sleeping, Inner, Broken, Dapper, Jobless and Zealous Duck (Ducks) - Donald's classic shorts and The Legend of The Three Caballeros

This is going to be a long post, but I am posting my drawings that I have drawn in the past few days related to the theme of Duckvember in several ways. I drew mostly through redraw scenes, but in my own way in my own style.

The first drawing is actually a redraw of a scene from one of my favorite series "The Legend of The Three Caballeros" where the Three Caballeros hugged each other plus Clinton Coot, Donald's great grandfather who is sadly dead. Yes, it's from the episode "Mt. Fuji Whiz" where the Three Caballeros get stuck in the underworld, but luckily get out.

The second drawing is a redraw scene from the classic 1946 short "Donald's Double Trouble" in which Dapper Duck begs Daisy Duck instead of Donald, and I added Donald who is broken after seeing who is replacing Daisy's boyfriend.

The third drawing represents a redraw scene from the classic short "Donald's Dilemma" from 1947, in which Donald, after his head was smashed, completely changed his character and became a famous singer and avoids Daisy Duck and throws her a coin, but actually Daisy only wants Donald back. Yes, that classic short is very controversial because Daisy almost kills herself because she lost Donald. Eventually Donald returns to normal and Daisy Duck returns.

The fourth drawing represents a scene from the classic short "Donald's Crime" from 1945 in which Donald, who wants to propose and impress Daisy and who is unemployed, secretly takes a piggy bank from his sleeping nephews (Huey, Dewey and Louie).

The fifth drawing is a redraw of a scene from the propaganda classic short "The Spirit of '43" in which Donald is confronted with a good conscience (embodied in the good duck prototype Scrooge McDuck) and bad sin (embodied in the bad duck prototype Gladstone Gander) and who must understand that taxing the state is the only way to ensure the security and progress of the state as well as the supply of weapons, in the fight against the Nazis and other Axis powers. Yes, it's a propaganda cartoon drawn during World War II.

The sixth drawing is a redraw of a scene from the first Disney television series called "The Wonderful World of Color" in which Professor Ludwig von Drake is the main character and this is actually from a scene in "Inside Donald Duck" in which Ludwig is a psychiatrist and wants to solve the problems his nephew Donald has. Yes, it is from 1961.

In what probably shouldn’t be a routine occurrence, Team Magic is fighting Phantom Blot and Pepper after coming across them trying to drain the portal to the magic evil kelpie golf realm, this time with May, June and Boyd helping. However, partway through something makes Webby and Pepper stop dead in their tracks, blank faced, before running off. Blot and the kids quickly decide to put aside their differences to go after their friends, but are unable to stop them as whatever force is making them leave also prompts them to fight off their pursuers and steal a helicopter.

The group is forced to stop and figure out what to do next both by that and by the fact that Sora and Riku show up, saying the same thing happened to Kairi. Thankfully, Kairi had her phone on her and Boyd is able to use that to track them.

Meanwhile, Webby, Pepper, Kairi, and a duck who looks a lot like Donald make their way into some sort of facility, where they come to their senses just in time to be at the mercy of a long missing missing, thought to be dead FOWL agent by the name of Major Synapse, who says he has big plans for them that he’s been waiting a long time to put into effect.

The heroes and Blot reach the outside of Synapse’s base, which is deep in a forest and is guarded by a pack of massive, fiercely territorial magic-eating rodents called Woozles(yes, from Winnie the Pooh. fite me) that they have to fight through. After they get past those and the lair’s security system, they find Synapse and his prisoners, with Blot being surprised that the other agent is still alive after the SHUSH raids that led to Beakley finding Webby and FOWL being presumed destroyed. As it turns out, Synapse was the head of FOWL’s deep cover division and its psychic division, possessing psychic powers of his own that were amplified by an early version of Gandra’s nanotech.

What Blot wasn’t aware of was that Synapse was also the one who came up with Project 87. Originally, it was meant to be an elite squad consisting of twelve clones of the greatest warriors they could find, all programed with psychic triggers that would give them access to various skill sets and put them under FOWL control, then adopted out as infants into normal lives so SHUSH would never find them until it was too late. Only four clones were ever made; Dapper Duck, aka January, who was based on Donald after a premonition from one of the psychic agents that Donald would one day be the greatest adventurer of all time(he’s also apparently one of Daisy’s exes and kind of a snobby jerk). Pepper and Kairi, who are February and March respectively and were both based on SHUSH agents. And of course Webby, who’s creation prompted Bradford to change the plan of Project 87 so he could use her as the heir of Scrooge McDuck and claim the Papyrus of Binding.

This prompted Synapse to leave FOWL during the raids, believing correctly that even if the organization did survive, Bradford’s obsession with McDuck and denial of his true nature would be FOWL’s eventual downfall. As a result, he wasn’t there to program May and June when they were created.
