===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.
