No, it's just a thing Thom Roep likes to do, but only in albums like this.
He already mentioned this to me when the album series was in a very
premature stadium. This must have been before Sanoma took over.

Yes, and this sounds strange to me. Some "Duckies" gags were drawn by
Santiago Barreira (Comicup studio), including the first ones where these
characters were used. So maybe Roep made a mistake in the article.
