Talk:Donald Duck in comics

Untitled

This article used to be part of Donald Duck. I moved it here because that page had grown to more than the recommended page size for a Wikipedia article. I first proposed the move on Talk:Donald Duck, and there were no objections. This information now appears in summary format on the main Donald Duck page. BrianSmithson 15:02, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

How about moving the Carl Barks quotes to wikiquote? That's what it's for, isn't it?

Donald Ducks car?

I have thought like my whole life that Donald Ducks car is Fiat Topolino or Fiat 500 as it goes these days. This article has no links to confirm that "313" is indeed a Belchfire Runabout which inspider Taliaferro. --Dekonegawa (talk) 23:52, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Fiat 500 was created in 1957 according to the Wikipedia article, decades after it first appeared in the strip. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 15:25, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

The Fiat 500 also known as Fiat Topolino is not the Fiat 500 created in 1957. It is a different car and was created in 1930s and produced between 1936 and 1955. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.250.91.186 (talk) 12:26, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

PKNA

The section about Paperinik seems to only mention PKNA in passing, looking like the main focus was on some American video game. It should be changed to focus on the PKNA comics first and the video game second. JIP | Talk 19:33, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

"It is said," "It is considered," "Some say," "It is believed.." and quotations from people

First, let me say that I really like Donald Duck comics. I read them as a child, and recently found some in the attic and greatly enjoyed re-reading them.But this article is full of unreferenced opinions of the sort listed in the header, and I have tagged many of them. Who holds all these opinions? What reliable source has published reviews of the comics and stated these things? Are they from some "Big reference book by a university press," are they from a big reprint book of the comics (in which they should be credited to the editor of the reprint book), or are they from some Disney website, in which case they should still be credited, or are they the original research or opinions of some Wikipedia editor? If the latter, then they may not remain in the article, since they fail verification. It may be clear to some editor that Donald's car is modelled after a particular real world car, or that some comic was the best one, but others may disagree. This is an encyclopedia and not someone's personal website or blog. Only statements referenced to reliable sources should be in the article, except for things that are unarguably referenced by the original work of fiction. If all those opinions came from some uncited reliable source, then it is basically plagiarism to put them in the article without attribution, and the original author.must be credited. If they sprang into the mind of a Wikipedia editor as he read an old comic book, then they must be removed as original research. Quotations from Barks or others require citations, or someone could add "Barks said 'I like pie!!' " and it would be as well referenced as any other quotation.

Funny thing in a DD comic

Some sound comes from the forest and then one say "What was that" the other "Probably just a small animal that ran by in the forest", then there's a much louder sound in the forest, and he says " now what was that?" and the other "probably just a small animal that ran by in the forest". But i'm virtually sure that it is not the same person that asks and responds both times, makes sense if it's the other way around. Only funny that way, i think. Can we add this to the article? Which Donald Duck comic was it featured in?--78.156.109.166 (talk) 20:14, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Split proposed

The section "Paperinik (Duck Avenger)" should be split into its own article Paperinik. The character Paperinik / Duck Avenger is clearly notable as being the first and most famous superhero in the Donald Duck comics. "Paperinik" has thirty-nine incoming links, "Duck Avenger" has five. WikiData has a link to Paperinik in sixteen different languages, of which only two are sections instead of independent articles: English and German. JIP | Talk 20:54, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

I agree completely; Paperinik is definitely a notable subject on its own. I've got a couple of independent reliable sources that can verify facts in the article, and demonstrate notability -- Alberto Becattini's Disney Comics: The Whole Story and I Disney Italiani. If you know of other print sources that talk about Paperinik, it would be great to have those before we make the new article. — Toughpigs (talk) 21:26, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

This paper will also be a helpful resource. — Toughpigs (talk) 21:31, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Support as well. Character is widely known in Europe.★Trekker (talk) 22:11, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

@JIP, Toughpigs, and *Treker: If you need any help with it, within the limits of my little free time, I can lend a hand with the split - since I've also seen that the whole part about Paperinik/PK/Duck Avenger was removed before the new dedicated page was done. - DrNig (talk) 15:32, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

I have now finally split the article. See the article Paperinik for results. JIP | Talk 15:28, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
