How many hours a day do you spend playing video games?

>>714563564 (OP)
about 2 hours on a good day
the rest is spend shitposting on /v/

>>714563564 (OP)
About the same amount of time as I spend breathing cyanide gas.

Why do you need to ask that so frequently. Are you one of those data miners that people talk about

Once I was farming Oxium in Warframe and grined for like 6-7 hours while I had Dragonforce playing on the background

>>714564351
thanks jesus

>>714564372
I yearn for the data mines

>>714563564 (OP)
since I started working on my own game, not that many actually

>>714563564 (OP)
Playing TOTK about 5 hours a day right now, I am past 100 hours

Why is /v/ all of a sudden so Obsessed with Duck comics?
Im not complaining or anything i love the Barks and Rosa storys im just a bit confuessed why we have a Duck thread on /v/ every now and then

>>714570785
>Why is /v/ all of a sudden so Obsessed with Duck comics?
The answer is probably the same as the other 99% something begins to pop up all over /v/: it's trending on twitter or ticktock.

Shit from more mainstream social media constantly filters down to here, because... that is just the age we live in.

>>714570785
Idk but I just love them, one of the threads sent me on a nostalgia spree. I found all my pocketbooks in the basement last week. Never should've stopped reading this shit

>>714570785
Duck comics are a European thing mostly.

i heard someone say there is a comic about donald hooking up with the baddie witch and it's been living in my head rent free ever since

>>714563564 (OP)
I spend mor etime on /v/ than on playing vidoe games.

>>714571167
Got any more info on that? A title or something? Even a screencap might help me track it down

>>714563564 (OP)
I grew up in the countryside so I could always go outside and do something. But what do kids or even adults that live in like an apartment do? I don't think any parents wants their kids roaming around the streets in a big city nowadays... so what are the kids suppose to do indoors all day if not gaming?

>I spend more time breathing than on playing video games

>>714571327
did some searching but came up empty
think it was just anon's own fanfic

>>714571167
I have readen shitton of duck comics as a kid and I don't remember Donald falling for Magica Da Spell

>>714571008
Euros would talk about the Phantom in that case, it was far far bigger than duck comics.
It's like (was?) the biggest comic ever in the world (except in the US)

>>714570913
>it's trending on twitter or ticktock.
I fucking wish it was

>>714571351
>I don't think any parents wants their kids roaming around the streets in a big city nowadays
You can't let them even if you want to because some karen will call cps on you
Society is conditioning everyone, especially children, to never leave the house but we're not supposed to talk about it

>>714571167
>>714571420
magical is for scrooge

>>714571484
So what are the kids suppose to do indoors all day?
Even as a kid watching shit like Hey Arnold was so depressing, and that was suppose to show "big city life" in a good light.

>>714563564 (OP)
I thought I was getting too old and sick to play video games but I grabbed deus ex on ps4 and been playing it nonstop.
I think modern games are just shit. Yep that's where the problem is.
Yes there's a ps4 port of deus ex. The ps2 version. Loading times are about three seconds now so it's a non issue.

I still feel like I'm dying tho

>>714571426
I remember digging through my moms closet to find some older issues of the Phantom (she fucking loved the Phantom) but found her dildo instead.

zoomers will never understand

>>714571167
>>714571405
Same. I started searching for it but couldn't find one fitting his exact description. Maybe he made it up, or misremembered, or my inducks searching skills just suck.
Found this one though where Magica splashes a love potion intended for Scrooge on herself and falls for Donald.

>>714571704
Tintin comics were great because pretty much every issue had someone drinking alcohol and Beetle Bailey was essentially a must read while in army

>>714571704
>zoomers
Im a zommer born 99 and i grew up with all of them except beetle bailey its just the americans who dont like this sort of stuff for some reason
This sort of stuff is still popular in Europe to this day and sells everywhere
The old Asterix movies are on tv regulary where i live

>>714571426
I like the Phantom, I find it interesting how he was born in the U.S. (by a Jewish author) then the rights were purchased by a Swedish financier (also Jewish) and taken to Europe which is why he never was very popular in the U.S. but became a big hit in Europe. Also there's like only 2 games for some reason, one on SNES and one recent beat'em up that looks mid.

>>714563564 (OP)
Boomers draw shit like this and see no problem with working 10 hours a day until the day you die.

>>714570785
Darkwing Duck, Maui Mallard, Quackshot and Ducktales are pure kino and mandatory to play for everyone on /v/

Could the last character you played as beat mad prime Klondike Scrooge in fisticuffs?

>>714572262

>Huskar
It'd be a close fight

So can anyone explain me why the most american character in comic books a mediium especially popular in america the litteral manifastion of the american dream a poor hardworking nobody who manages to pick himself up by his bootstraps and ends up becoming a multi billioniare written by americans for an american audience detailing different chapters of american history is so unpopular in america but so beloved by all of europe?
I grew up in Germany in the early 2000s and you couldnt go anywhere without seeing anything duck related somewhere
Every story sold some Duck comics on the tv they still aired Ducktales and book store sold Scrooges autobiography but in america nobody cares about him
Here scrooge is insanely popular and everyone recognises him

>>714572490
It's kinda like in here Finland where characters like Donald and Scrooge are beloved and Mickey is majorly loathed

>>714571814
Old Astérix must be a nightmare to translate with all the wordplays and jokes tied to french culture and its surrounding countries. One day I'll muster the courage to watch one in english.
Anyone who ever dealt with french bureaucrats felt it when Astérix went batshit in his quest for LE FORMULAIRE A-38!

>>714572490
Scrooge is good hearted and an avid worker. The straight opposite of the frauds living in america that are found on top of the societal ladder. Like the current orange faggot.

>>714572490
Americans like super hero comics like Batman, Superman, spiderman, x-men and stuff.
For some reason that was never really that big in Europe and instead we had stuff like The Phantom, Duck comics, Tin tin, Asterix, beetle bailey etc.

>>714572490
Because to Amerifats from Estados Shartmartos Obesos, Scrooge is Irish first and foremost, and they hate the Irish.

>>714572668
Isn't Scrooge literally based on Trump?
>Insanely rich
>Lives in a Tower full of gold
>Pissed off all the time

>>714572741
hes based on ebenezer scrooge from the christmas carol
Hios firs apearance even was in a christmas themed story

>>714572741
Anon, Trump was 1 year old when Scrooge McDuck was created.

Technically he hates trannies and negros

>>714572920
They were even born at roughly the same time, this is freaking me out bros.

>>714572920
hes probably talking about some new modern interpretation of scrooge made by some faggot at modern disney

Americans like flying strongmen beating the shit out of galactic warlords. Europeans like wacky duck trying to weasel his way out of paying taxes.

>>714570785
All of sudden? I've seen them posted for years. Specially the ones to do with Scrooge.

Yes, yes, very good.

But where's my true Nordic bros at?

>>714573261
Nordic comics are mostly trash

>>714570785
because /v/ is great at discussing everything except videogames, next question

>>714573065
i havent bought a donald pocket since i was a child and bought on for the summer. the stories are just fucking random bullshit, they seem randomly generated,
there was a story about them traveling to the paper dimension and fighting in a war between the pencils and pencil sharpeners.

>>714570785
White people kino, mutts can keep their supersoy storys.

>Don Rosa regrets drawing this
Why?

>>714572741
the carpets in the money bin were bought at a yard sale in 1921 after 6 hours of haggling the price down to .07 cents

>>714573870
easily the most kino moment in the entire series
scrooge going crazy and dragging soapy to prison was after making fun of him for having Lost his mother was pure kino

>>714572580
Yes, that was the most memorable part of the movie for me. I guess it's relatable in nearly every country.

>>714573870
man, i should re-read these

>>714574187
I bought the entire Rosa collection, not just Life and Times. Cost about 250$ but it was worth every penny, I loved reading his interviews explaining his thought process.

>>714571704
damn i remember getting that triangle puzzle

Have an underrated Scrooge (father) moment

>>714574264
shit, me too

>>714574187
it's a shame you cant
Disney pulled the comic out of circulation because scrooge tricked a bunch of African locals and it reminded them to much of colonialism
The funny thing is this was to show just how much scrooge let go of his morals in his pursuit of becoming the richest man alive and its the only thing he actually regrets

>>714574341
Can't show no-no stuff nowadays when it comes to modern Disney. Everything must be so comfy and wholesome.

>>714571603
Personally as a 2003 zoomer I can tell you I’ve never been to a party or a club. I’ve been to a bar only with my parents with the exception of one time I went with my friends. I wake up I get on my computer I spend all day applying for jobs that I’ll never call me back or give me a message or anything play video games browse for Chan watch YouTube that’s pretty much it. That’s been with my life since I was about 11.

>>714563564 (OP)
Does playing Balatro while watching stuff or listening to music/podcasts count? If it's only actively gaming, I'd say... 1-2 hours?

>>714574341
Disney sabotaged Don Rosa at every turn. Fuck them. They can't die soon enough

>>714574315
Don Rosa is truly the GOAT. No disrespect to Carl Barks but Rosa elevated the art form.

>>714571667
>Anon's mom kept her Phantom comics and dildo stashed together

Anon's mom had good taste in men

>>714574530
Barks did some great stuff and he has his own simpler qualities Rosa might not be as proficient in (basically he really writes for children and that comes with some unique traits)

But I agree that Rosa is where the Ducks peaked

I used to love comics. Especially when they gave you free stuff with the magazines. This nigga here gave me the best damn bottle opener I've ever had. Still have it. Shaped like a piranha. It's great.

>>714574642

for me it's the black k***ht

So what do you like about duck comics?
For me its the adventure aspect especially in the Rosa comics
I like how they travel the globe and look for lost treasure as a kid it was also a way to learn a bit more about the world
I first heard of the mayans or the American gold rush because of the Scrooge comics
I also like all the details Rosa puts in the background with random details that you only recognise on your second reading or so

No, they have a point. Why bother making a comic if you won't take advantege of the medium. That's just lazy, that's not how you make an engaging narrative.

>>714572490
Donald, and by extension all of the ducks, are too working class for americans, which is why they found enormous succcess in Europe, specifically in northern countries like Finland or some of the south like Italy.
In Italy Donald became THE Disney character because he felt immensely relatable to both the readers and the artists, which is why the vast majority of the italian made Disney stuff is about Donald (and all the other ducks) while Mickey is largely unpopular.

>>714575048
maybe you should read the whole comic then before commenting on it

Chad cuckold

>>714575173
I think it's pretty cool! It would be an issue if it happened too often, but this is the only moment Rosa wrote something like that, and that's why it stuck so much and became the most iconic scene.

Don rosa is the ultimate "yes I love reading duck comics" for someone that never reads it

>>714575331
the fuck

>>714573870
>>714574164
The idea of the page is good. You arrive at a wreck, and use Occams Razor to handwave away the actual order of events. Its like if you have to write "get hit by weather balloon" to get a insurance case for your car after it being hit by a UFO
But the execution ends up focusing in the mythologization of the event, which I guess feels sour.

>>714575331
Rosa fans usually also love Barks for pretty obvious reasons.
I also enjoyed a lot of other artists, often the Italian ones, but generally speaking I mostly remember Barks and Rosa only. The other ones could be funny or clever at times but they didn't stick.

>>714575331
>another buckbroken "Rosa Scrooge is out of character" whiner

thanks for the quality thread and nostalgia

>>714575494
Because he is?

>>714575419
I think it's an interesting way to contextualize the anger "powerup". Like you said, it's all about the mythos of the event, but you can also see it as all the stars lining up so Scrooge can take his chance and turn the tables on Slick. Adding this dimension of "opportunity" to the old "weaponized anger" trope makes it resonate a lot more with me

>>714574341
I remember reading that, had no idea they pulled it out, lmao.
Funny because it was framed to specifically say "THIS IS A TERRIBLE THING DO NOT DO THIS".

Thoughts on this? It seems like one of the most tragic yet understated parts of Scrooge's life.

>>714575049
The reason why Mickey is unpopular is that stories featuring him tend to suck dick

>>714571426
In Finland Donald Duck is (or at least was) like a national icon. Phantom was pretty popular as well but nowhere near as popular as Donald Duck.

>>714576218
fuckin based Anon, keep it up.

>>714576501
Mickey is more often than not a shitty character without flaws, edge or interesting traits

>>714576501
The only acceptable ones are the ones where he teams up with Goofy's Indiana Jones cousin.

>>714576553
>>714576501
Can confirm as a kid the Mickey stories were the least interesting to me and I would sometimes skip them when reading (on the other hand there were times when Goofy acted as a sort of sidekick to Mickey as they went on adventures, I liked Goofy a lot more for some reason perhaps because he actually admits to having flaws while Mickey acts as this insufferable know-it-all who is always right and never wrong, really despicable personality type.)

>>714576501
That's because Mickey himself sucks dick, he a wholly uninteresting character that's hard carried by Goofy and the supporting cast.
Donald on the other hand is cool because he feels like an actual character, he has kids to take care of, shenanigans with Daisy or the rest of the family and his relationship with Scrooge being actually fairly multifaceted, and he has his RAGE, Donald feels real, Mickey is just a cardboard cutout in comparison.

>>714576553
The very early stuff and the Paul Rudish shorts are good, other than that, yeah.

>>714576553
I remember this one Mickey & Goofy story where they go to some small town in a way for vacation and they end up getting arrested by the police. Mickey laments that there's no way they can get out and then they suddenly meet the towns real sheriff who reveals the cops are actually a league of criminals who rule the town with an iron fist and out of the blue Mickey can pick a lock with a fucking jig. Even better is that the lock on the cell door was obviously one sided so not only did Mickey learn how to pick a lock with something that's not suitable but he also managed to do it without seeing where he was sticking that jig. Of course Mickey & co wins because asspull reasons. I always get so fucking mad when I think about that story.

>>714576582
Exactly, that's the one I could enjoy.

>>714576701
Mickey being hard carried by Goofy is so true, fuck Mickey he's only known for his ears.

>>714563564 (OP)
As many as I can.

>>714576687
Yeah, that's just common sense
Notice how you'll often get stories featuring Donald, Scrooge, Donald + Scrooge, or Donald/Scrooge + Nephews... but you'll rarely if ever get a story featuring the nephews alone because they have a personality like Mickey's and that's not alone to carry a story

You need at least one idiot

I need a duck calendar.

The one by Sciarrone.

>>714576501
>>714576582

He still have Daisy so he is not exactly literally me but close.

Going to Disneyland and finding only the castrated, retarded version of Donald/Scrooge there was so disappointing

duck sex reminder

>>714576881
Are you as admirable as Donald Duck, anon?

>>714576864
I loved how Donald was always in financial trouble, felt relatable to me when growing up because I rarely had money. He was also taking care of kids that weren't even his own, I saw that as admirable. Main characters need to have flaws or else it's impossible to relate (I guess, unless they are literally superheroes who are busy with saving the world)

>>714576881
>>can barely hold job
i loved the comics when he got good at something out of nowhere, like the one where he opened a food truck and sold the best hamburgers in the world for like a week

>>714576687
>Mickey acts as this insufferable know-it-all who is always right and never wrong
There's one other story where Pete sets up a car repair shop. The story is written so that it seems like Pete is actually making honest living, but of course this round-eared detective wannabe has intuition that "Pete must be doing something illegal" and then in the last two pages it was revealed, to no one's surprise, that Pete was actually having an illegal car shop and Mickey somehow knew every process Pete & co made despite never having stepped inside said car shop beforehand nor having seen how Pete operates. These stories are so fucking awful.

>>714576931

https://inducks.org/story.php?c=D+2000-079
might actually have been this one, i got the story wrong

>>714576881
Daisy always cucks him with that lucky guy, though.

>>714577064
Scrooge might have been the main character of his own mythology but Donald was always the real human of this story

>>714576582
>>714576553
Mickey is good when he is hopeless out of his depth.
Which is 90% of the Indiana Goofy stories

I know there are a few exceptions, a few stories where Mickey is a bit of a cunt on purpose rather than due to the writers being idiots, but these are few and far between

>>714574909
the things I like the most is that every page is filled with secondary stories or gag.

A common trait of Scrooge origins is him being molded by how rotten the world around him is while often ignoring the people who care for him, i think Don once stated that Scrooge's most unrealistic trait was getting rich as he did while still trying to keep his morals

That's the real tragedy, the final story has him get distracted right before reuniting with his sisters several times

thanks anon

Sequel when?

>>714579208
That game kinda sucked, it had none of the things that made PK great from what I remember

>>714576701
True, Mickey was always kind of a Gary Stu. Donald was my favorite because he takes on problems without already knowing the answer to everything, with the world trying its best to stop or slow him down. He has awful luck, people don't respect him, he lacks knowledge, he often directly fucks up himself, and yet he always gets back up and gets shit done, even has his superhero gig on the side. I always saw it as him having every excuse to turn into a villain, or a thief, but his iron will and moral code makes him into a better duck.
Mickey on the other hand has no character growth, well, ever, since he's always right. And he's not even entertaining about it like Scrooge is.

>>714578786
A gal for Gladstone.
https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Uncle-Scrooge-1953/Issue-374#3

>>714579682
I have a feeling Mickey is not allowed to have any character growth or any flaws, quirks and whatever because he's le wholesome mascot of Disney

>>714577450
>he isn't a tonpuu / sanma GOD
never gonna make it

>>714579995
Sanma isn't mahjong.

>>714574907
I don't much of the comics, but wouldn't he fall into the earth's core if he fell on his back?

>>714580123
That nearly happens

>>714579682
>he often directly fucks up himself, and yet he always gets back up and gets shit done
Pic related
Donald is a fucking badass

>>714579897
Eh, it depends honestly, cartoon mickey in the classic era was a fairly different character, he was still annoying and largely a gary stu, but not to the same degree as the comics, also cartoon mickey tends to have a lot of the disney cast around him rather than just sticking with Goofy and the Mickey approved characters, it wasn't until the more recent decades that Mickey and Donald got separate supporting casts which sorta exacerbate Mickey's gary stu issues.
Even there, Donald has always been the more real character of the two, Mickey was always the hero while Donald was the unlucky guy prone to fits of rage and huge mistakes, but also the one who tries his damn best at being a good person and do the right thing.

>>714580123
Yes, that's what the first story about the Universal Solvent was about (Scrooge poured it on the ground and they had to go catch it before it went all the way to the core of the Earth)

The only thing that doesn't get GLORP'd is diamonds so they have some options to fight back. His feet aren't covered in Universal Solvent so he can still walk without issues.

>>714580053
Not only is it mahjong, but it's also the mode the japs themselves play the most.

>>714580268
I remember this one, about some lost mongol empire in Himalayans, did they rerelease this stuff far into 2000s?

>>714580478

What were the titles of the scrooge comics with the capsules, and the one with the cubic eggs?

I mean its canon to these comics that Scrooge basically paid a bunch of mercs and drove off a entire african village from their home, burning it to the ground. to mine resources/because they made a fool of him
He ends up regretting it but thats where Bombi the Zombie comes from. Also why his surviving Family doesnt talk to him anymore until Donald shows up one day. Its where his corruption by wealth is at his worst

>>714577939
they released a compilation of it in Germany and i started reading it out of curiosity but it just wasn't for me
I honestly dont get thr appeal i like phantomias when hes a goofy superhero and has fun with it
Is it really that good

>>714571704
I had the Lucky Luke game on ps1
I didn't know he was from a comic until years later

>>714581238
The thing is that he would have gotten a chance to reconcile with his sisters if not for circumstances. That's the sad part, they were open to forgive him, he was open to apologize, but the world wasn't so simple and so they wasted it.

>>714581192
Thank you!

He always just realizes he fucked up when its too late. The same thing happened with Goldie. And then he normally tries to rationalize it that its the others who did him wrong.
>>714581441
Even his Dad rose from the grave or his subconsciousnes and told him hes a wanker for it.

>>714581950
Looking at this it's pretty obvious Scrooge peaked as a person during the Klondyke, he was a healthy mix of idealism and strive

>>714582068
The happy ending for Scrooge would have been him getting together with Goldie but both were too proud to admit that they had feelings for each other so they never got together.

>>714582271
Honestly I think Goldie was too toxic. Scrooge too, together they were a really bad mix. Reuniting with his sisters would have been a net good.

>>714572682
>>714573065
So why are Superhero comics the only type of comic thats popular in america i dont get the appeal of them?
I tried getting into them once but its impossible Marvel and DC comics are incomprehensible and frankly horrible
Characters die all the time and its supposed to be a tragic event but then they come back as if nothing happend and nothing ever changes
Spiderman was a poor wagie with no gf when he started out in the 60s and he still is a poor wagie with no gf fighting against the same villians every week but every no and then he dies and comes back or so
In Europe there is much more variety in the stuff thats popular but its mostly humerous adventure stories like Asterix Tintin or lucky luke but even then theres a ton of variety
Asterix is about the ancient gauls fighting against Romans Lucky Luke is about an cowboy in the Wild west and Tintin is similar to Rosa duck storys where some reporter has funny adventures all across the globe
So why is only one type of story popular in america?

>>714572490
he's scottish though
>>714572668
more like he's a penny-pinching slave driver. if he could charge you for the air you breathe, he would

>>714591406
Because north american culture is all about corporatist exceptionalism where everything has to conform to a predetermined set of values that are socially and economically acceptable, actual exceptionalism is frowned upon.
Europe is much more interested in the unusual and the exotic which is why spandex people never really had a lot of hold until the later years and artists preferred more unusual and romantic ideas you can see with things like Corto Maltese and the likes, also Europe was much, much hornier and zany, which is how you get stuff like Ranxerox, La Foire aux immortels etc., superhero stuff was appreciated but largely seen as puerile outside of a couple of specific exceptions like Batman, which at some point became gritty enough to become fairly popular in here.

>>714591406
>>714592170
I think it's far simpler than that: super hero comics were selling at the time, received enough marketing and spread to keep selling, and dominated the market. Disney (and many others) didn't know how to market their stuff, or didn't know how to reach new readers, and so they basically folded.
And what's funny is that while Marvel and DC are the primary "big" comics publishers, if you look elsewhere, like Scholastic handling Bone, there have been other successful comics in America. Just that instead of targeting the audiences Marvel and DC had pinned down, they target book fairs and book stores, to be sold alongside Harry Potter and the like.

Judging from your comment i can guess you're probably canadian, because only France cares about the Phantom. Rest of Europe either has local shit for specific states, the franco-belgian school like Lucky Luke, Spirou, Asterix and TinTin, and Disney comics made mostly in Italy.

>>714573754
Yeah, it's great. Whether you want full adventures, comedic stories, mysteries, or just plain weird ones, Duck comics have them all.

>>714607784
I believe Norway actually named Donald's Duck Avenger identity after the Phantom.

>>714607935
Isn't he "Phantom Duck" in english?

>implying /co/ can even comprehend comics other than capeshit

>>714608704
It's a pretty different continuity.

>>714608784
Capitalism incorporates its own criticism, you should know this

>>714608704
Italy has such a large output of stories there's inevitably going to be a lot of weaker stuff.
I don't know about the classics adaptations since they've never really been my thing, but PKNA and DoubleDuck are very much recommended.
I also tend to really like most Italian stories that feature Magica but I'm biased since she's a favorite of mine. I've seen a bunch of fan translations of those around.

Also, like >>714609015 said you're gonna see a bunch of characters you're unfamiliar with but I wouldn't say there's really a single continuity, it's more like Carl Barks stories which are loosely connected if at all, rather than the Don Rosa stuff which has a very defined timeline.

>>714608891
They've given me torrents to all the duck comics no one else has and have many threads so yes they like ducks more then /v/

>>714608262
Who's to say I'm not in the /co/ threads as well?
I tend to like these threads more because there's lots of old time nostalgic readers who haven't read or thought about this stuff in a long time and are slowly rediscovering it, so there's usually more interest and genuine enthusiasm here than on /co/

>>714608262
Ducklooney and VN killed /co/ duck threads

Why do the Euros hate Caballeros so much outside the based Dutch?
I understand Italians/Germans based on the context they were made but outside games they have the best of everything Donald has ever been in (best animation, best individual comic, best show, only real park ride, best grouping) but they are nonexistent in Europe outside the Dutch Weekbald remaking the old American comics since they are very broad in what they make stories for.
They never took off the way they are far more popular in South America, Japan, and even the USA

>>714610049
i wouldn't know since i only saw them in like one comic here (sweden)

>>714608051
Superduck and Duck Avenger. In Finland he's called Taikaviitta (literally "magic cape").

>>714609980
This is drama from a half a decade ago, one doesn't show up anymore and the other is the most obvious fag to identify

>>714610049
I don't think it's outright hatred, they just happen to be niche characters. If we had more people making comics about them back in the day, I imagine they'd be brought up more often here too.

I probably wouldn't hang it on my wall, I'd just like to have it.

the bi-weekly (later weekly) donald duck magazine used to print barks stories. I read it all a billion times.
sometimes they also printed rosa stories, without crediting him with the name. man it felt like a premium product. you just recognized the drawing style.

scrooge and donald had tremendous artists writing for them, donald is a very down-to-earth kind of guy, with bad luck, and you just want to root for him.

it's not worth it. what if there's a fire and all your comics are torched? think of all that money that you will then have wasted... also, comics don't last forever. half the reason why people buy comics is for the freshness of it, the newness. if you saw a half-eaten dog ear-marked faded copy of this book for thirty buxx on ebay, would you buy it? probably not, right? no, you want that freshness, don't you? you want it to be fresh and pristine, right? snap out of it, son! the cake is goddamn lie! just pirate all the stories and read them on your ipad, bro! it's way cheaper and way more logical! SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR SHIT THAT REALLY MATTERS, BRAHHH!!!

>>714617157
i thought pkn was from norway?
I know the original phantomias storys are italian but there donald is still a bit humerous and mainly just anoys gladstone and scrooge a bit

>>714615734
That's not Ducktales, right? What's its name?

>>714618432

>>714618781

Gracias, amigo.

PKNA is also italian. There was basically a slow transition from Donald's alter ego being a sort of anti hero who used his gadget to get revenge on the people who wronged him, which parodied the kind of noir comics that were popular in italy at the time, to him taking on a more heroic role as trends shifted, culminating with him getting his own saga with a proper continuity and a dedicated cast of recurring characters.

>>714619661
so is pkn finished or is it still going?
I find it hard to get into this series if i know they will never end and just go on forever

for me it's BM ducks

>>714620157
The first run ended in like the year 2000
Then they started a second run in 2001, at which point american Disney execs took notice of the series and were like "alright, now shut it down and reboot it but with all these extra restrictions on what you can do so we can sell it to the american audience"
The reboot failed miserably and everyone still hates it to this day. They went back to the original continuity and released a few stories that expanded on it sometime in like 2015, I don't think there's been anything else since then but I might be wrong.

>>714620157
pkna (paperinik new adventures) alongside pk2 ended eons ago, then in 2014 the series continued with pkne (paperinik new era) which ended in 2018, then the series continued again with pk fuoriserie which is still ongoing although it has been on standby for a few months now

if you want my advice, go for pkna, then if you like it go for pk2 and pkne, online you can find all issues in italian AND in english, it's a fan made translation but i am italian and i can vouch for it

>>714620792
we pkers have one rule, we do not talk about pk frittole

>>714620998
sounds honestly great
Im learning italian currently mainly with Duolingo so this being in italian might be a good thing to learn a bit more
is there a link to the series somewhere?

>>714614545
You'll quack the duck and you will be happy

>>714563564 (OP)
I want to say 2-3 but I think it's more like 1-2 nowadays, having a gf and a job gets you real busy also the fact I live alone so I have to prepare my own meals and do the cleaning

>>714621136
just google pkna fan translation if you want the english version, it's the first reddit result, as for the italian version just google pk hack, you'll find a website that has everything, keep in mind you will have to register first

>>714620998
>we do not talk about pk frittole
It's merely a warning, can't risk someone stumbling into it by mistake and thinking it's the real PK.

lel, my dad always bought that comic when i was a kid.

>>714621913
it's a reboot made for a wider audience, needless to say it was complete and utter shit

ducks should not wear pants

>>714563564 (OP)
Is this the one where they get into some esports soccer game.

>>714622108
Ok now use your words and explain plot or characterwise the difference

>>714622351
you had to be there to understand, if you read pk frittole on its own it's not even that bad but if you read it after pkna you'll immediately notice something feels off, it is as if someone took everything that made pk great and botched it to cater people without a brain, if you played dragon age it's like origins and veilguard basically. also it's worth to mention that the series needed to continue the story, no one asked for a reboot

now that's some good stuff. didn't realize it has larger world building behind it before some grade A autismo did a presentation on it on a summer camp. don't remember anything about the presentation anymore, but the game is pretty great.

i've never read a western comic but duckgirl posters have convinced me to read PKNA

it's a commodore 64 game for kids. basically a few different minigames to gather money, that you then spend on buying playground gadgets. comfy indeed

>>714624581
and yes, you can then play with the gadgets you buy.
fun fact, it's made by Al Lowe aka Leisure Suit Larry

Don't understand shit but kekked

>>714607497
in which story ? I missed this one

>>714626194
fuck shit balls i remember reading this in swedish, what the fuck was the plot? this thing was some kind of collectible, right?

>>714626183
Kind of.
>>714626090 is about Scrooge calling it quits from a software development position, driven to madness and Donald comes along telling him to go out for drinks to cool down.
>>714620320 is about Scrooge listening to death metal so much that he's willing to blow up everything to smithereens as per the lyrics, the soldiers commenting "oh that's how nuclear war starts? By some drunken death metal guy that has too much money?"

>>714626505
It was a hoax figurine that didn't exist. The story really connected with me on a personal level, as it was the height of the Pokemon craze too, with endless rumors of Japan-only mystery exlusives, some of which were straight-up hoaxes. Fun times, and good memories.

>>714615878
I never heard whatever is supposed to be Donald's voice in my language so I never heard anything.
Tbh I don't understand Donald's english voice, the accent or whatever is too thick

>>714626194
>>714626757
Oh yeah, I vaguely remember something like that. I think that story got printed in finnish, seemed pretty amusing to read that after it had been a few years after the pokemon craze.

>>714626505

>>714626896
wait what is this

>>714626116
kek, yes, limited by the technology of it's time...

>>714626868
Donald is kind of intentionally meant to be hard to understand, but you can begin to make out his dialogue if you listen to it enough.

>pk frittole
the one where pk is a guardian of the galaxy? why is it called frittole?

>>714626975
A one-off comic riffing on collectibles, maybe the other anon can post the inducks page

>>714626868
It's a bit harder of a voice to get. If you are fluent in English you'd likely be able to understand unless they are playing up the joke by making it entirely illegible

>>714622658
Veilguard is good tho

>>714618781
>>714618908
>brazilian kid shows

>>714626505
I think it was about collectible monsters. Donald has all of them. Then a new catalogue drops and there's a monster nobody has. That start a wild goose chase where Donald goes through all his sources. In the end Donald ends up forging his own copy, but then it turns out there was never such a monster in a first place and it was just an easter egg. I think the fad ends there and Donald's collection is now worthless because nobody cares anymore.

Yeah, it was. I remember this one. And then there's Kurruso Kaller as I know it which went bona fide Lovecraft as a Duck story.

Yep, I remember reading that one once, judging by the cover. Don't think I owned that book, so must've been at a library or similar.

ah it's a pocket, never liked those as a kid, i only had the magazine subscription

>>714627535
Funny thing is they made a Brazilian Portuguese dub but never officially released it in Brazil despite Donald and Jose being mega-popular there
They really wanted this show dead and buried

>>714627535
Flipanon died leaking the show, have some respect

>>714574135
I love how everyone intuitively knows this to be true.

I read the adventure in which they go back to the country with square eggs but I missed the one in which they get there for the first time...

>>714632071
Some of these Don Rosa comics are sequels to Barks originals. You'll have to browse through a Barks catalog to find the first parts about the square eggs, Xanadu/Tralla La etc.

>>714629704
It is

good, maybe in a few years i'll have all my favorite hiking and fishing spots to myself and i can just frolic in the woods undisturbed

If you don't like Fethry you are a fag

>>714637452
he was called Popop in French.
Scrooge is Picsou (something like "Grab/Pick'money")
the nephews are Riri Fifi and Loulou
Gearloose is Geo Trouvetou (FindEveryThing)
Gladstone is Gontran Bonheur (Happiness)
Rockerduck is Flairsou (Smell'money)
Glomgold is Gripsou meaning Stingy (Sou still means money)

>>714637730

Magica is Miss Tick, I shouldn't have to explain this one

>>714563564 (OP)
Like 0.2 maybe

>>714563564 (OP)
Depends on availability of time, and when I can get to it.

>>714632071
Like the other anon said, several of Don Rosa's stories have references to or are sometimes direct sequel's to Carl Barks' stories. If you want the full Don Rosa experience you also ought to go through the entirety of Barks' stuff as well.

Though there's a handful of parts where their canons directly clash. For example the very first appearance of Scrooge McDuck in Barks' production has him meet with Donald and the boys at the end of the story. The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck meanwhile treats the events of that specific Barks story as vaguely canon, but him meeting Donald and the boys didn't happen in that way. I also recall from one interview that Don Rosa explicitly treats the entirety of that one Barks' magic hourglass story as non-canon since it explains Scrooge's wealth as a result of a magical luck device.

>>714637730
French have funny names for them, endearing
