There first cartoon is a lot of fun and it would lead to many more. Even in more recent years with the Mouseworks series, a lot of the best Donald Duck cartoons involved Huey, Dewie and Louie.<br /><br />Dumbella was very much an off screen device rather than a true character. She never appeared in animated form and, as far as I know, never had an active role in the comics. In the nephews' first comic strip in 1937 Donald receives a similar letter from a relative (here named Della) and winds up with the nephews much like in the cartoon. I think years later comic strip artist Don Rosa, who tried to keep consistent timelines and family ties within Carl Barks' duck universe, kept Della as Donald's sister. I know she appeared in his famous Duck family tree image as Donald's sister, but I don't think she's ever appeared in any stories as H, D & L's mother (Although I'm sure there's a story where she's seen as a child with her brother Donald).Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17701967442508380462noreply@blogger.com
