Donald Duck’s official birthday is June 9, 1934. That would make him 77 today. He seems to be holding up rather well. Donald’s sailor hat and coat, his unintelligible speech and his famously short fuse are recognized all over the world. He has his own office at Disneyland Paris. We knocked on the door when we were there, but Donald must have been out. Incidentally, the other Disney characters all seem to have different names in France. Buzz Lightyear is Buzz Leclair, Goofy is called Dingo, Chip and Dale are Tic and Tac. But Donald Duck is Donald Duck just about everywhere. He has an Uncle Scrooge, a cousin Gus the Goose, and three nephews: Huey, Louie and Dewey. I’m not sure where Professor Ludwig Von Drake fits in. But everyone knows Donald’s sweetheart is Daisy Duck. Happy Birthday, Donald!
