That's OK for me. (You see, I'm still a bit of a
child... ;-). What I meant was just to disagree with
Dan's sentence:

>Let the kids act like kids in the comics.

Interesting discuss. I sometimes wonder by Barks
made'em as many as *three*. Some notes amaze me:
    -About the look: They could have different looks:
The unique-HDL-look is not usually used to mistake one
of them by another (and may not be used, because
having the same personality and circumstances, such
mistake wouldn't have interest);
    -About the personality: They behave the same, so
they could be just one person (=duck);

Maybe it was the need for three characters and the
laziness to make three different sketches? 

I just can think of one reason why I really appreciate
this triple-character as it is conceived: Their
looking is really comical!

Cheers,

Santiago.
