Today, we celebrate Donald Fauntleroy Duck, first sighted in Hollywood in 1934.
Despite nearly 80 years on the big screen and more than 150 films and countless comic books to his credit, Donald's plumage has never changed.
Donald doesn't migrate, but resides year round in Duckburg. To our knowledge, longtime sweetheart Daisy has never made Donald a father. But he does show a strong paternal instinct for a trio of unruly nephews.
While he means well, he tends to get in over his head, but he somehow overcomes the odds. And that perhaps is why Donald Duck is still loved after all these years.
