ACME Jetpack Upgrade

I've never posted Daffy Duck's jetpack upgrade before, have I?
Now I have. Clearly inspired by Wile E. Coyote's Acme Bat-Man's outfit (Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z, (1956) Warner Bros. Looney Tunes); not the color scheme, but you know, the wings and all.

Freshly tapped anger clouds

Freshly tapped clouds of anger, straight from Donald Duck's head. Just a moment after they're created, they are filled into transparent balloons and ready to be carried around. It's currently a hit at Duckburg's annual fairground.

Unfortunately, the business idea doesn't come from Donald himself, but from Uncle Scrooge. Donald is furious, which, in turn, is good for business and production performance.

(You can see a rough color drawing of Donald Duck selling transparent balloons filled with his trademark dark clouds of anger.)

Donald Duck,
twice different

Two of my favorite adaptations of Donald Duck. One blends Donald Duck with Popeye the Sailor, the other strictly follows the actual anatomy of a real duck, at least as far as the head is concerned.

Mouseling, Mickey

Somehow I evaporated Mickey Mouse into something I didn't want and now I like it.

(A drawing of a mouse resembling Mickey Mouse, but this one is of elementary school age and has thick, fluffy black fur. He also doesn't wear the famous red button-up pants or yellow shoes. The mouse's gaze appears focused and cheeky.)

The "Nautilus Dime" is Scrooge McDuck's orca-shaped special submarine for use in the deepest areas of his coin-filled money bin.
