Donald Vs. Daffy: Ducks of a Feather that Don't Flock Together

In a world filled with ducks... In a society of animation... there exist two birds that rule the nest. They are the memorable beaks that almost everyone is familiar. They are ducks that have affected millions worldwide with their antics and situation comedies. Though their popularity varies with groups, their fame is largely due to their very human personalities. They are different in many ways, but those differences are also where their similarities lie. Who are they? They are Donald and Daffy.

Before I go into the spell about who they are and how they compare, I want to go on record as officially stating that I am an avid and zealous Donald Duck fan. I believe that he is the superior feathered fowl. He made being a duck cool, before there ever was a Daffy. I also considered him to be the template for which they based the later incarnation of Daffy. I could go into every detail of why I think this and why I dislike Daffy (passionately so), but that is not what this article is about. I have made every attempt to remain Impartial while writing this, because this is a You decide article, more than a Donald Rules (even though, i believe he does) article.

So, begins my piece...

Donald duck was a creation of Walt Disney and debuted in the cartoon The Wise Little Hen on June 9, 1934. The sailor suit clad duck has since starred in a hundred and twenty-six cartoons (not including the recent House of Mouse cartoons and QuackPack series that he graced the screen with).

Daffy Duck was born on the year 1937 in his debut cartoon Porky's Duck Hunt, a Warner Brothers production. This naked duck currently retains around a hundred and twenty-nine cartoons to his name (not including the recent Duck Dodgers of the 24 and ½ Century series that ran on Cartoon Network).

Both are quick to smile for the camera.
