And I'd like to mention the late Clarence "Ducky" Nash who first performed Donald Duck's unusual voice. At first Clarence intended for his sound to be a goat's voice, but then it ended up becoming Donald's voice. In his later years, Clarence met up with Disney animator, Tony Anselmo, and he taught Tony the voice of Donald. When Clarence died in 1985, Tony became the new and current voice of Donald. May you R.I.P, Mr. Clarence "Ducky" Nash. :cry:

That actually brought a tear to my eye. Wow, do I miss those days.
Aw, glad you liked it! Those were indeed the days. :smile:

Conan O'brien last night on The Tonight Show made a joke about Donald's birthday saying something about how it's now appropriate for him not be wearing any pants. (Older people have restroom problems)
Lol, I love Conan.

I recall hearing how Donald Duck comics were banned in some country because he didn't wear pants.

And you know what always drove me wild.... whenever Donald lost his shirt, he'd cover up his pants area. The part that's already exposed.

I believe the Donald Duck banned comic thing is a urban legend. I am pretty sure it is not true.
