| A few points of interest in this funny animal comic: 1. Woody the Woodpecker!? Not to be confused with the cartoon "Woody Woodpecker," of course, this one is blue not red (and he has a crow sidekick that's a black stereotype). 2. Snuggy story is World War II oriented, as he and his insect friends fight invading "Japanese beetles." 3. The Bumbie story breaks the fourth wall, with the comic book itself as a character. 4. Super Duck was much better later, when Al Fagaly took over and converted him to the non-superhero "Cockeyed Wonder" (sort of a sitcom Donald Duck clone). |

| Yeah, to each his own I guess, dwilt. I much prefer this early incarnation of the (actually superpowered) SUPER DUCK to the later Al Fagaly knockoff of the Disney Ducks Barks style. Even SD's personality became exactly the same as Donald's... the main difference was that he only had ONE nephew instead of three, and wore lederhosen and spats instead of a sailor suit. Al Fagaly sort of became a specialist in doing 'clone comics'; his and Harry Shorten's "There Oughta Be A Law" was a near-exact ripoff of Jimmy Hatlo's better-known (and funnier) "They'll Do It Every Time". |

| Fauntleroy is Super's brother not his nephew.
He's also downright psychotic, at least in the early issues of Super Duck. |
