What a crowd of dummies! Of course you prefer Daffy because Donald is designed to get on your tits! THAT is his ONLY purpose. He serves the same function in those cartoons as the smokewulfe does here. He’s the house DUMMY— he’s there to be contrasted with and outwitted by the likes of Chip and Dale. Everyone around him is more interesting and inciteful than himself. The money grubbing Uncle Scrooge McDuck for instance, but these are elements you ignorant neophytes simply miss because you are too young to have been reared on the comic books around these characters. It isn’t your fault.
This conversation is an interesting take on how we are manipulated without giving it a thought. What is the contrast between Donald & Daffy? Donald is the average schmuck. He’s buttoned up and square as a brick. He always has a dull square job or task. He’s the epitome of tedious routine. Daffy on the other hand—-why don’t some of you finish the sentence? Donald’s cartoons (at least the ones made in the 40s and 50s) are superior in the sophistication of his antagonists. He is simply there for them to outwit. It doesn’t matter if the antagonist is the fish he’s trying catch or tne weather, Donald is ALWAYS the straight man.
