![]() Similarly, Barks' Junior Woodchuck prototype, Good Scouts, was released three months after identical scouting uniforms were introduced by Taliaferro and Bob Karp in the comic strip. Because the strip was an adaptation of the animated shorts, it could utilize ideas from films still in production ( DuckTales reversed this, being a TV adaptation of the comics). The memo indicated, “we have decided to actually put a story crew to work on Donald’s Nephews.” With the short already in production more than eight months before the boys' Silly Symphonies comic strip debut (on October 17, 1937), the animation studio's model sheet and storyline would have been Taliaferro and writer Ted Osborne's frame of reference for the comic strip. on February 5, 1937, sent Taliaferro a memo recognizing him as the source of the idea for the planned short. ![]() Origins Final panel of 1937 Sunday newspaper strip Silly Symphonies featuring Donald Duck that introduced Donald's nephews drawn by Al TaliaferroĪl Taliaferro, the artist for the Silly Symphony comic strip, proposed the idea for the film Donald's Nephews, so that the studio would have duck counterparts to Morty and Ferdie Fieldmouse, the nephews of Mickey Mouse. All three of the triplets are members of the fictional scouting organization of the Junior Woodchucks. While the boys were originally created as mischief-makers to provoke Donald's famous easily-triggered temper, later appearances, beginning especially in the comic books stories by Carl Barks, showed them growing to be heroes in their own right and valuable assets to him and Uncle Scrooge on their adventures. They featured in many Donald Duck animated shorts and in the television show DuckTales and its reboot, but comics remain their primary medium. The boys are sometimes distinguished by the color of their shirts and baseball caps (with Huey wearing red, Dewey wearing blue, and Louie wearing green). Like their maternal uncles, the brothers are anthropomorphic white ducks with yellow-orange bills and feet. Huey, Dewey, and Louie are triplet cartoon characters created by storyboard artist ( screenwriter) Carl Barks for The Walt Disney Company from an idea proposed by cartoonist Al Taliaferro and are the nephews of Donald Duck and the grand-nephews of Scrooge McDuck.
