        The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck is modern poetry.

        Last Sled to Dawson is fantastic

      North american here: I love Donald Duck. Lol. My mom used to a spot on Donald Duck voice to entertain us as kids. Told us he jumped out of the TV once and lived in her belly.

        Your mom sounds awesome! I had to learn to do that myself to add a bit of comedic effect to certain situations. Alas I only learned to imitate goofy of all those cartoon voices…

      As a North American, I’ll happily listen to your Donald Duck comics love, but you better bring some Asterix and Obelix at the same time.

    I believe Donald Duck is pretty popular in Southern Europe too, especially Italy. I learned to read Italian from a hoard of old Paperinos / Topolinos a neighbor had.

      Have you read the American version of those comics? It is the only media I prefer in translated form, because the American lettering is extremely annoying. The grammar is weird, like spelling it “Unca Donald” instead of “uncle”, and every sentence has one or two words in bold. All the bold words feel like an aggressive way of showing emphasis which is so exaggerated that I find it exhausting to read.

      As a contrast, Norwegian Donald Duck comics were advertised from day 1 as “translated by a teacher”, and there has always been an emphasis on good grammar. And most importantly, no bold words all over the place! We can figure out where to put the emphasis ourselves, thank you very much.

    I mean the guy who made Astro Boy based all of his character designs off the Donald Duck comics, and manga is the most popular form of comics in North America, so in conclusion, everydays a hurricane, here in america.
