Quote from user: Ryan_WynnsOh, it was Quacky McSlant who I thought resembled Fethry. I've never heard of Quacky McSlant until now. Thanks for confirming who it actually was!
You're welcome.
Quacky is a very obscure character, so it's no wonder you didn't recognize him. According to Inducks, he (and Vacation) have only appeared in one comic book story: https://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=D+2003-170 . (Don't get your hopes up; they merely make a cameo.)

Actually Quacky McSlant made a cameo appearance in the Duck Tales/Darkwing Duck Crossover Story Dangerous Currency. He was in the two page scene where Donald was rallying everyone to fight back the slime.

Thanks, Roger. I had no idea he had been used in that story.
I've now added his cameo appearance in "Dangerous Currency" to Inducks.

Quote from user: Lars JensenQuote from user: Ryan_WynnsQuote from user: Lars Jensenand Fethry may not even have existed.
By coincidence, tonight I noticed something I never had before while watching "Sweet Duck of Youth", DuckTales adaptation of Barks' "That's No Fable": in the birthday party scene at the episode's beginning, there's a background character, with no lines, who resembles Fethry. Might it have been supposed to be him?
Thanks for the tip-off.
I've now looked at that beginning, however, and I only see Gladstone, Quacky McSlant (with the green lumberjack cap), Vacation Van Honk (the Gus Goose look-alike wearing sunglasses), Doofus, Gyro, Helper, Webby, Mrs. Beakly and HDL.
So no Fethry, unfortunately.
Remember the mail-duck carrying the big sack of mail at the start of "Home Sweet Homer"? Could that have been Quacky?

Roger, are you referring to the panel where Dimwitty and someone else looks at Donald in a car, shouting: "Attention Duckburg! We will not have anyone tell us who runs our town!"?

Yes Lars That's exactly what I'm referring to. Quacky McSlant is the second person who looks at Donald's Car.

Duck Tales was a great show. Ow it had some poor episodes but many, many great one.
To be fair I see why they made most of the changes they did and while I would prefer if Magica had an Italian acent as well this show has this amazing retro charm that makes it timless.
It's hard for me to explain why but while the first seaons is more like Barks duck stories the second season is more like Italian duck stories... but that's my wird interpretation of it...

Your last statement is a fascinating take on the difference between the first and second seasons. I don't have THAT much experience with Italian Duck stories, but the wilder gags, wordplay, etc. of season two are certainly very different from the more "classical" approach of season one. Just compare the Barks story adaptations of season one to those of season two!

The shift in the writing in DuckTales second season isn't entirely out of nowhere. In episodes like "The Uncrashable Hindentanic" and others, you can see the writers developing more of their own style vs. the "Barks meets Hanna-Barbera" style of some of the earlier scripts.
Speaking of season two, in the Gizmoduck episodes, you can see the beginnings of the style of humor that led to Darkwing Duck (as well as the most out of nowhere plot twist in the last episode of the "Super DuckTales" serial!)

Season two episodes got more satirical and focus more around daily life in Duckburg, rather then big Indiana Jones type adventures.
A good example of what I'm talking about is the episode "The Big Flub" where Fenton makes a bunch of commercial to impres Scrooge, all for a fake product (you don't know what the product is, we just know the name), the comercials get sent to TV by mistake and very soon the whole town gets insane about the product and whant to get it despite the fact nobody has idea what it is. Or there the episode "Dough Ray Me" that center around Inflation. HD&L uses Gyro invention that start duplicating money and soon whole Duckburg is floodet with cash, all people get rich like Scrooge and money starts to become worthless. Heck, even some of Gizmoduck-episodes focus on the way media see him.
BTW. I love episode "Allowance Day" which actually explores how much power a person like Scrooge has. In the episode HD&L trick Scrooge to think it's Saturday instead of Friday in order to get their allowance a day earlier. Scrooge gets fooled however when he gets angry on his buisness bodies for mistaking a date it creates a domino effects that makes whole word to think its Friday which coses various terrible messes.
It was incredible clever plot whitch some good plost twists and many funny lines. I usually don't care that much for Gizmoduck but that was one episode I enjoy him from begining to end.

I think Bubba and Gizmo could've been good additions if they were used sparingly.
Ducktales is similar to another show from that period of time - The Real Ghostbusters
Both have excellent first seasons, but they tweaked the formula and things were never quite the same. Characters that should've been used in moderation took center stage and the show's original premise, which proved popular, was altered.

Unlike Gizmo/Fenton who had potential and personality and they could mad many episodes around him, Bubba was pretty much a one-time character that they forced to be in more episode.
His just a dumb but very strong caveduck that has problems to interprate stuff in the modern day with a pet dinosaurs... Basically a younger, male version of Vicar's Princess Oona. Did we really needed a five-part episode to introduce him? Heck, after they introduce him only two episodes center around him and all other episodes just kind-off force him in as a secondary characters.
