Donald Duck was created in 1934, a time when it was illegal for most males to be shirtless in public in most states…even at the beach!!
No.
Next question?
A Better Question About Perverted Cartoons
In the Moral Majority 80s, there was a cartoon called GI Joe. A villainess named the Baroness played a significant role. She had red lips, good looks, a curvy figure, wore a black leather catsuit, boots, gloves, schoolmistress glasses, & spoke with a rather sultry Eastern European accent.
In other words, an Eastern European Schoolmistress/Dominatrix appeared on a kids cartoon.
How the Hell did they get away with this?
“Hey, Darnold…Duck!!”
My favorite bit was in the opening panel of “Mickey Rodent” where Horace Horsecollar was being hauled away by Walt Dizzy’s storm troopers for failure to wear white gloves! (“And it’s so hard to find these three-fingered ones!”)
Anyone else now stuck singing Donald Where’s Your Trousers?
Donald wears swim trunks and no shirt at the beach…
I feel compelled to point out that many species of ducks do, indeed, have phalluses. Granted, they’re retractable, and they lose them and regrow them every year, so at any given time Donald may not have an external phallus. But the possibility exists.
Also, a species of duck possesses the largest known avian phallus. 42.5 cm. Cite(warning: graphic duck penis). God, I feel dirty now.
Goofy’s girlfriend is a cow. Shameful!
But Donald Duck is a Disney character…
The “Moral Majority” was never a majority. Many young parents of 1984 had undoubtedly seen a real,* whip-snapping dominatrix on TV in their childhoods, so why would they be shocked?
- Well, live-action anyway.
IOW, his behavior is contradictory. So what? Come on. He’s only human.
Band name!
Sorry. I couldn’t resist.
No naughty parts are drawn on Donald Duck. In cartoons it what you don’t draw that matters.
Ah, but does that make it bestiality? Or just miscegenation? *
I really think that that is nothing compared to suggestions of incest in the cartoons. Petunia Pig, Porky’s girlfriend, was originally shown to be his…sister!
- One may wonder why no fuss was made of this apparent promotion of miscegenation in the cartoons. Wasn’t there a huge amount of opposition in those days?
Actually there is a simple reason it was overlooked.
Nobody cares because…
Goofy and Clarabelle Cow were both black!
Except for the gloves. Bugs always wears gloves. Nevermind “What’s Up Doc?”, what’s up with the gloves?
I have a carton of Disney dried fruit (similar to a little raisin box) that has a Donald Duck comic on the back. On the front is a single panel of Donald with a ‘shocked realization’ look on his face, and he’s saying “I forgot to wear my pants again!”
So really, he’s just very very forgetful.
I thought that Disney characters ***had ***no no-no’s. Isn’t that part of their definition?
OK, that’s something I never knew.
“Ooops, sorry, I just shed my phallus.”
:eek:
“Pants? You know how long that’ll take?”
“We’re talking million dollar pants”
“PUT PANTS ON THAT HOG!!”
C’mon - someone had to quote that
“Keep the tip!”
Sorry!
