Many of you maybe know this charachter, Lars Jensen explain him as a doubling of HDL caused by the fact they've been hit by a lightning, Gilles R. Maurice explain him as HDL's cousin son of Danilo Duck and Nino Russo explain him as HDL's fake cousin, invented by Donald and son of a fictional Donald's cousin "Paperella".

But who is this mysterious character? Is he an error of drawing or he is wanted on author's porpuse?

However, Walt Zuti, viz me, has written an Interesting Topic about him in Papersera Forum.

In the last published number of Topolino Libretto (TL), appears this charachter, with a dark blue hat, but probably is a ploy to sell more numbers of TL.

In his last post (

<<La parola "Phooey" si può rendere in italiano in molti modi, fra i tanti, "Puah", "Bleah"; e si può scrivere in lingua inglese anche "Fooey", "Phew", Phooie"...

Il dizionario d'inglese recita:
"an exclamation of relief, surprise, disbelief, weariness, etc."
(esclamazione di sollievo, sorpresa, incredulit? , stanchezza...)

Siamo quindi concordi che, invece di essere un nome, Phooey è più che altro un'esclamazione usata molto spesso negli States (come ad esempio, il "Gee" dei primi anni '40).

Phooey Duck, nasce ufficialmente nel 1990, il nome è "Fooey" e gli viene dato da Bob Foster su segnalazione di un lettore firmatosi "ROKK".

Nonostante ciò, Phooey imperversa nel mondo Disney da quasi mezzo secolo, poiché secondo i redattori dell "Disney's Hoo-Zoo", un sito web che raccoglie informazioni sui personaggi di casa Disney, la sua prima apparizione è in http://users.cwnet.com/xephyr/rich/dzone/hoozoo/images/phooey2.gif , nella quale viene "chiamato" "Phooie", da un suo amico.

Phooey è inoltre presente in un buon numero di storie di Carl Barks, l'uomo dei Paperi.

Per questo motivo, la rivista Comics Buyer's Guide, negli anni '90, diede al 4° nipote il nome "Barks"...

Nella storia "Much Ado about Phooey", a cura di Lars Jensen, si scopre che in realt? Phooey è solo un effetto causato dal fatto che una volta i tre paperetti sono stati colpiti da un fulmine.

Nino Russo inventa, nella sua "Paperino e il 4° nipotino", un nipote di nome Que, figlio di una certa Paperella e lontano cugino dei paperini, ma Que è solo un'invenzione di Paperino ai danni dei 3 poveri nipoti...

Gilles Maurice, studioso Disney di fama mondiale, divenuto celebre grazie al suo "Mega-Albero Genealogico della Famiglia dei Paperi" (2001-2006), ha mostrato, nel suo albero, che Phooey, a cui ha dato il nome "Philibert", è figlio di Danilo Duck, cugino di Paperino; mentre per Jensen, il 4° nipote non esiste...

Pensate quanta fama e che lunga storia per un errore di distrazione... >> )

, Walt Zuti (me), has made a li'l biography of this character from when he was officially born, explaining also Barks' use of him.

Whoever knows other stories in which he appears is welcome in this wonderful "Phooey-Hunt"

Pretty sure those are just meant to be joke explanations, Roger.

I always thought that poor, forgotten Phooey might wind up turning to a life of crime someday... as Negaduck's sidekick. ;)

Actually, Phooey stand for phony or phoney. This means that from the very start it was recognized as something that did not belong to the story.

Actually as long as there are so many appearances of him (Barks drew him 4 times in 3 different stories) I would tend to agree with you, Sim. Although Barks did do other mistakes in his stories I am not aware of him having, say, drawn two Gyros or two Goose Gus, for example.
Apparently Barks was not the first one to draw him, or was he? There might be instances in which Phooey appeared as a name before Barks but maybe he drew him first. Later on others capitalized on him.
Problems, though, are always behind the corner. You (or whoever adds him up on INDUCKS) would have to choose who invented the character. Then there is the choice of the picture issue. How are you going to choose the picture for INDUCKS uploading to reference him?

Quote from user: Dutch Duckfan Down UnderLars (Jensen), I recall you did a story about Phooey, namely this one: http://coa.inducks.org/s.php?c=D+97589 . What is it about? I don't have the story.
The origin of Phooey.

"Phooie" in the Taliaferro gag was merely an expression of skepticism, NOT the dog-boy addressing one of donald's Nephews. In all 3 of those panels from "Beach Boy", theso-called 4th Nephew is merely another Junior Woodchuck, who happens to be a duckling. Notice that there are also several other ducklings in the troop in the view with the whole troop. In the diamond story, Barks just forgot to erase one of the three Nephews on the peak, after he realised three couldn't be there because one was running down the mountain. he told me that, himself. Of course you all know all this. You just want to have an extra character recognised, because that would be "interesting".
