Egg cream

Seems I have to repeat it: Donald _is_ hatched from an egg. We've seen that
in several comics. Aren't comics still our best source?

Or can someone please tell my why someone is totally IGNORING these comics?


I'm almost afraid to mention MY opinion regarding the species of the Ducks -
you will probably all laugh of it. But as anyone else has said theirs, I'll
give it a go: I think of Duckburg as a beautiful city populated by humans,
and I _do_ think of it as a real city in the real world - but obviously this
city must be in a parallel dimension or something, as we can't go visit it.
I do believe that we can get in touch with this dimension through our
thoughts and dreams, and that many of the greatest adventures of the richest
man in their world, Scrooge - amongst other good stories - have been
revealed to Carl Barks and many of those following him, and through comics
they have given these stories onto us - but in these stories, they make the
characters appear to be duck-like (why? I haven't thought that far yet). In
that way: The Donald I read about in the comics is hatched from an egg. The
Donald living in my heart and my imagination is not.

Go ahead, laugh in my face.


Best,
