Carl Barks' Duck Family Tree
Carl Barks' Duck Family Tree. Yeah, I suppose he would have had to have made up one of these. It's funny, we've heard for years that Hewy, Dewey and Louie (or HD&L) were Donald's nephews, but rarely, if ever, hear of Donald's implied sister, or her fate. Another example of the common 50/60's screenwriting technique of staging the untimely death of a major parental figure just so a main character can have charming hijinks with live-in kids, not be married, and also not be seen as a pervert.
