==Third generation== ===Donald Duck=== {{Main|Donald Duck}} '''Donald Duck''' (born June 9, c. 1920) is the ill-tempered but good-hearted son of Quackmore and Hortense Duck, and the most well-known member of the family. He is the nephew of [[Scrooge McDuck]], the twin brother of [[Della Duck]], and the uncle of her triplet sons [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck]]. His girlfriend is [[Daisy Duck]]. He does not have any children of his own, but is the legal guardian of his nephews, as seen for example in the 1942 film ''[[The New Spirit]]'' in which Donald lists the boys as [[dependant]]s on his income tax form. ===Della Duck=== {{main|Della Duck}} '''Della Duck''' (called '''Dumbella''' in ''[[Donald's Nephews]]''; born June 9, c. 1920) is the mother of [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck]], the younger twin sister of their uncle [[Donald Duck]], and the niece of their grand-uncle [[Scrooge McDuck]]. She was first described as [[Donald Duck]]'s cousin,<ref name= donald1937>Disney, Walt (October 17, 1937). "Donald Duck" (comic strip).</ref> but was later referred to as Donald's twin sister. She was first mentioned in a 1937 ''Donald Duck'' Sunday strip on October 17, 1937, in which she writes a letter explaining to Donald that she is sending her sons to stay with him.<ref name= donald1937/> Della made her first animated appearance in [[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|''DuckTales'']] (2017), with her sons discovering she was previously a companion of Scrooge and Donald's in their adventures. Dewey and his brothers set out to investigate the cause of her disappearance along with [[Webby Vanderquack]]. In the Christmas episode, "Last Christmas", it is revealed that as kids, Donald used to insult Della by calling her "Dumbella", a reference to her name in ''Donald's Nephews''. She is voiced by [[Paget Brewster]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cbr.com/ducktales-donald-duck-sister-della-brewster/|title=DuckTales Finally Debuts Donald's Twin Sister, Della Duck|date=18 August 2018|access-date=24 August 2018}}</ref> Della Duck was married to ? Duck and had three triplet sons, [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie]]. ===Huey, Dewey, and Louie's father=== The identity of '''Huey, Dewey, and Louie's father''' is something of a mystery. The character does not appear in any stories, but he did partially appear in the 1993 Duck family tree drawn by Don Rosa. In this illustration, Rosa partially concealed the character's face with a bird. While his first name was also hidden, his last name is revealed to be Duck. His face was fully shown in the unofficial Duck family tree by Mark Worden and first published in several [[fanzine]]s, which labeled him "? Duck" and showed him with a [[flattop]] haircut and human-like ears. In Huey, Dewey, and Louie's first appearance in a 1937 ''Donald Duck'' Sunday strip, Della writes to Donald that the boys had placed a [[firecracker]] under their father's chair as a prank and that their father had been sent to the hospital.<ref name= donald1937/> This was the reason why the boys first showed up at Donald's house. The father has not been mentioned again in the chronicles. In "[[The Richest Duck in the World]]", when Scrooge mentions that the few family members he had had disappeared, the boys respond, "We know how ''that'' feels!" ===Fethry Duck<!--'Fethry Duck' and 'The Red Bat' redirect here-->=== Donald's cousin '''Fethry Duck'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA--> was created for the non-US market by [[Disney comics#Disney Studio Program|Disney Studio Program]] employees [[Dick Kinney]] (writer) and [[Al Hubbard (comics)|Al Hubbard]] (artist) and was first featured in the story "The Health Nut", published on August 2, 1964.<ref>{{cite web |title=Fethry Duck - Index |url=https://inducks.org/character.php?c1=date&c=FE&view=4 |website=Inducks |access-date=18 September 2019}}</ref> Kinney and Hubbard created Fethry to be a [[beatnik]] member of the Duck family (the definition being "a person who rejects or avoids conventional behavior"). Fethry quickly adopts new hobbies and lifestyles and eagerly pursues the latest fads and trends, causing chaos for friends and family in the process. In his first story, Fethry is introduced as moving to Duckburg and having a prior acquaintance with Donald, who is already aware of Fethry's obsessive tendency. Fethry wears a stocking [[cap]], for reasons revealed in "The Health Nut": he was convinced by a self-help book author that one's head is healthier when it's kept hot. Fethry's trademark [[sweater]], usually bearing a black stripe, is typically a different color depending on which country the story is published in. Only three stories with Fethry initially appeared in the United States (''Donald Duck'' #105–106 and ''[[Walt Disney's Comics and Stories]]'' #304). Later, some of the Fethry Studio Program stories were reprinted in the ''Wonderful World of Disney'' giveaway magazine published in 1969–1970 for [[Gulf Oil]]. However, the character became popular in foreign markets. In Europe, Fethry has appeared in numerous Italian-produced comics. In Brazil, the character had his own comic book title during the 1980s, which lasted 56 issues. Hubbard and Kinney developed more than fifty comic stories with Fethry.<ref>[http://inducks.org/comp2.php?default_o=1&xapp=FE&creat=AH Inducks - Page to Al Hubbard's stories with Fethry Duck]</ref> The vast majority were published in English in Australia between 1964 and 1969, often in one-shot comics billed ''Donald and Fethry Duck''—suggesting a comedic duo—or simply ''Fethry Duck''.<ref>[http://inducks.org/issue.php?c=au/GS+338 Inducks - Page to the Australian comic cook ''Giant (G Series) No. 338'']</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://inducks.org/issue.php?c=au/GS+475|title=Australia: Giant (G Series) # 475 - I.N.D.U.C.K.S.|website=inducks.org|access-date=24 August 2018}}</ref> Since Fethry was not created by Carl Barks and was never used in any of Barks' stories, popular American artist/writer [[Don Rosa]] does not consider Fethry part of the Duck family. However, due to editorial pressure from supervisor [[Byron Erickson]] at the helm of Egmont, Rosa reluctantly included him in his ''Duck Family Tree''. According to this [[diagram]], Fethry is the son of [[Eider Duck]] and [[Lulubelle Loon]], the [[cousin]] of Donald Duck and the brother of [[Whitewater Duck|Abner "Whitewater" Duck]] (from Barks' 1962 story, ''Log Jockey'').<ref>{{cite web|url=http://duckman.pettho.com/tree/tree_rosa.html |title=The D.U.C.K.man - Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree - Don Rosa's own comments |publisher=Duckman.pettho.com |access-date=2010-07-06}}</ref> Fethry also works with Donald for Scrooge McDuck's secret organization, originally called the P.I.A. (in Italian), as an assistant of the detective [[Umperio Bogarto]] (in 1996) and as Moby Duck's First Mate (in the early 2000s).<ref>[http://inducks.org/subseries.php?c=Bay+stories Inducks - Page to the comic subseries ''Le storie della Baia'']</ref> Donald has often teamed up with Fethry to work for Scrooge (usually with disastrous results), with Donald being the "[[double act|straight man]]" and Fethry the "funny man", although Donald's reactions to Fethry and attempts to neutralize him are often as humorous as Fethry's mishaps. In 1970s stories drawn by [[Tony Strobl]], Fethry is the owner of a hyper-friendly dog named Poochie. Several Brazilian stories also featured Fethry's pet.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://inducks.org/character.php?c1=date&c=Poochie&view=4|title=Poochie - I.N.D.U.C.K.S.|website=inducks.org|access-date=24 August 2018}}</ref> {{anchor|The Red Bat}} Since the early 1970s, Fethry has occasionally donned superhero garb as '''the Red Bat'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA--> ({{langx|pt|Morcego Vermelho}}) in Brazilian Disney comics. The Red Bat was created by artist Carlos Edgar Herrero and writer [[Ivan Saidenberg]].<ref>[https://weirdspace.info/Disney/FethryDuck.htm Fethry Duck/Morcego Vermelho/The Red Bat (From Disney)]</ref> In 2018, Fethry made his first animated appearance in the ''[[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|DuckTales]]'' episode "The Depths of Cousin Fethry!", voiced by [[Tom Kenny]]. He is depicted as the caretaker of one of Scrooge's undersea research facilities that Huey and Dewey visit. While they are at first put off by his odd behavior, the two come to respect Fethry after he protects them from a sea monster. He later returns in "Moonvasion" to help protect the Earth from the invading Moonlanders and in "The Last Adventure!" to attend [[Webby Vanderquack]]'s birthday party. ===Whitewater Duck=== '''Whitewater Duck'''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://inducks.org/character.php?c=Whitewater+Duck|title=Whitewater Duck - I.N.D.U.C.K.S.|website=inducks.org|access-date=24 August 2018}}</ref> was created by Carl Barks and used by him only in the story "Log Jockey", published in ''[[Walt Disney's Comics and Stories]]'' #267 in December 1962. According to that story, he is a distant cousin of Donald and Huey, Dewey, and Louie,<ref>[https://inducks.org/hr.php?normalsize=1&image=http://outducks.org/webusers/webusers-char0/us_wdc_471_01_001_dd.jpg Inducks - Excerpt of the first panel of the comic story ''Log Jockey'']</ref> and works as a [[lumberjack]] in the woods. Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree states that Whitewater's real name is '''Abner''', and "Whitewater" is a nickname. He is also shown to be a son of Eider Duck and Lulubelle Loon and Fethry Duck's brother, making him Donald's first cousin. ===Dudly D. Duck=== '''Dudly D. Duck''' is a cousin of Donald who appears in the comic story "Why All the Crabby Ducks?" by [[Vic Lockman]] and [[Mike Arens]].<ref>[http://inducks.org/story.php?c=W+DD++136-01 Inducks - Page to the comic story ''Why All the Crabby Ducks?'']</ref> He is a flopped architect and inventor who was responsible for the construction of the "Jog Tunnel", which annoys the citizens of Duckburg because it really has a jog in it, and for the bad planning of Duckburg's streets. Therefore, Dudly became very unpopular and was forced to live isolated in a lonely street, including his name was forgotten until the day that Donald discovers who planned the "Jog Tunnel", and then his girlfriend Daisy Duck reveals who is Dudly Duck through the newspaper where she works as reporter. A reporter rival of Daisy ends up discovering that Dudly is related to Donald, who in turn becomes unpopular too. ===Dimwitty Duck=== '''Dimwitty Duck''' (originally just called Dim-Witty) is a duck who was introduced in the comic story "The Vanishing Banister",<ref>[http://inducks.org/story.php?c=W+WDC+330-01 Inducks - Page to the comic story ''The Vanishing Banister'']</ref> where he appears as an assistant of Donald Duck, who in turn appears working as a private detective. Daisy Duck has a brief appearance in the beginning of this one. But there are some old American stories with Dimwitty and Daisy where Donald does not appear. In the story "On Disappearing Island",<ref>[http://inducks.org/story.php?c=W+MD++++3-01 Inducks - Page to the comic story ''On Disappearing Island'']</ref> Dimwitty appeared for the first time as Moby's ship hand and from then on he became the most common supporting character in Moby's stories. Dimwitty is incredibly clumsy but he is loyal and subservient, and maybe that's the reason why Moby keeps him as his ship hand. But a close kinship between them could also explain this fact. Dimwitty is taller than Donald and Moby. In some 1970s stories, Dimwitty was shown as a friend of [[Gus Goose]]. There are some old stories where it's revealed that Dimwitty's surname is also "Duck". The first one was "The Fix-it-fiasco",<ref>[http://inducks.org/story.php?c=W+US+++75-02 Inducks - Page to the comic story ''The Fix-it-fiasco'']</ref> which also features Daisy. Just like Moby, Dimwitty had also a cameo appearance in the ''Darkwing Duck / Ducktales'' crossover called "Dangerous Currency" from 2011. ===Moby Duck=== '''Moby Duck''', whose name is a spoof of the novel ''[[Moby-Dick]]'', was created by writer [[Vic Lockman]] and illustrator [[Tony Strobl]] in the comic-book story "A Whale of an Adventure" in ''Donald Duck'' #112 (March 1967).<ref name=toonopedia>[http://www.toonopedia.com/mobyduck.htm Moby Duck] at [[Don Markstein's Toonopedia]]. [https://archive.today/20240527185108/https://www.webcitation.org/6frrkXIow?url=http://www.toonopedia.com/mobyduck.htm Archived] from the original on March 8, 2016.</ref> He made his only major animated appearance in the ''[[Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color]]'' episode "Pacifically Peeking" (October 6, 1968),<ref name=toonopedia/> and had a cameo appearance in the episode "House of Crime" of the ''[[House of Mouse]]'' TV series. He first appeared in ''Donald Duck'' #112 where he is seen saving [[Donald Duck|Donald]] from drowning at sea, after Donald was forced to accept Moby's proposal to work as his helper, since Moby's porpoise '''Porpy''' pretended to be a threatening shark. Later that year Moby got his own comic book title which ran 11 issues until 1970, and then from 1973 to 1978 (issues #12-30). Illustrators of American Moby Duck stories include Strobl, [[Kay Wright]], and [[Pete Alvarado]]. Not seen in the US for two decades, he was used in a comic subseries produced in Italy during the 2000s. Moby had two cameo appearances in the 2010s: the first one was in an Italian story from 2010,<ref>[http://inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+2860-5 Inducks - Page to the comic story ''Zio Paperone imperatore domestico'']</ref> and the second one was in the ''Darkwing Duck / Ducktales'' crossover called "Dangerous Currency" from 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailyblam.com/node/11619|title=dailyblam.com|website=www.dailyblam.com|access-date=24 August 2018}}</ref> Moby is a relative of Donald Duck as seen in "Sea Dog's Holiday" by [[Vic Lockman]] and [[Kay Wright]].<ref>[http://inducks.org/story.php?c=W+DD++126-04 Inducks - Page to the comic story ''Sea Dog's Holiday'']</ref> There are American old stories where Moby seems to be familiar to other members of Donald's paternal family as well, like [[Grandma Duck]] and [[Gladstone Gander]]. In the comic story "The Dread Sea Adventure" by Lockman and Wright,<ref>[http://inducks.org/story.php?c=W+MD++++9-02 Inducks - Page to the comic story ''The Dread Sea Adventure'']</ref> Grandma exclaims when she sees Moby, "Moby Duck, you salty old sea biscuit!", making it clear that she knows him very well.
