How come there's no mention of Disney? -- seav 15:24, Sep 27, 2003 (UTC)
Since 1930 Walt Disney had little to do with the comic strip and comic book versions of his characters. And by the time of Huey, Dewy and Louie's creation he is said to have been neglecting his animated shorts in favor of animated features. So Walt is usualy considered to have little to do with their creation. He was still the producer of most of their films though. User:Dimadick
Uh - brother of Daisy Duck? How come I have never heard about that?
Indeed, that Duck incest theory is stupid and insane. Das Baz, aka Erudil 17:48, 30 April 2013 (UTC)----
There should be something added about "Phooey", the fourth brother appearing when the artist has made a mistake. (There actually was an Egmont story published, that explained his existence as some sort of freak-of-nature, dimensional warp, doppelgänger kind of thing. Weird stuff...)
I added this comment now: "On a few occasions, there is a fourth nephew, slipping through by a mistake of the artist. He has been named "Phooey" by editor Bob Foster. One short Egmont comic explained his existence as some freak-of-nature, dimensional warp, doppelgänger kind of thing." I think it's strange that no other donaldists seem to have read this weird little story. I read it in a swedish Donald Duck weekly somewhere between the late 90's and early 00's. I give an overview of the story. Donald and HD&L is at home, together with a guest. Suddenly a 4th nephew pops out of nowhere, and disappears as suddenly as he has arrived. The guest is naturally shocked, and Donald feels obliged to explain this rare phenomenom. He tells of how this 4th nephew on rare occasions pops out of nowhere, and how they were at first just as shocked as the guest, but as time passed by, more and more got used to him. In the end, he tells of a story where Phooey even helps and rescues the ducks while they have gotten into trouble. This calms them down, as they realize he is basically a nice guy. The 4th nephew never gets a name in this story, but I can't believe this could be about anybody other than Phooey, considering the overall weird/surreal aspects of it. Anyway, it's funny tidbit...
I've been able to translate so far one speech balloon: "Th-that is a fourth nephew! An exact copy of the others!" (I am certain this is the correct translation. I think Donald replies: "Yeah, I'd better explain that." But I'm not sure. Is there somebody fluent in Swedish out there?) Das Baz 19:24, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
What are the Japanese names for Huey, Dewey and Louie? -- User:Angie Y.
I'm wondering if the serial comma should be included in the title, causing it to read: Huey, Dewey, and Louie. The proper title of HUEY, DEWEY, AND LOUIE JUNIOR WOODCHUCKS uses the serial comma in the indicias of those comic-books. Kaijan 00:16, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

The main article says that the nephews have basically the same personality and while this may have been true in theatrical animation, in the comics written and inspired by Carl Barks, the ducklings are each distinct, at least after their very early appearances. Long time readers of Barks's stories could often recognize which brother was which, even in black and white by their dialog and actions.
These personalities were later developed in the Quack Pack tv show.
Huey (red cap) is the leader, he starts things, makes decisions and tells his brothers what to do. He's usually the one to explain things to other people too, though sometimes this is Dewey. In arguments with Unca Donald, Huey is usually the spokesman with Dewey spouting facts and Louie shouting "Yeah!" Normally, Huey is the polite duckling, however, a political animal. He understands relationships faster than the other two.
Dewey (blue cap) knows things. He's usually the one looking things up in the Junior Woodchuck manual or quoting it verbatim. He also pulls random facts out of nowhere, deciphers codes, builds gadgets and operates machinery except Huey drives vehicles. Dewey's the double talker in the group when that skill is needed but Huey can also double talk. Dewey is the strategist of the group, Huey is tactical leader and Louie is operations.
Louie (green cap inside, yellow cap on covers) is the daredevil and fighter. He's the one who dives into fights or jumps across chasms, though sometimes Huey initiates such things if all three are going to get involved. When Louie has to explain things, he'd rather show than tell and he's the last one to run from something scary unless Dewey is standing around trying to figure out what it is. Louie's the one who can put on an innocent act best and often shills for his brothers' schemes.

I read once that originally in the Carl Barks stories, the three Ducklings were just as mischievous as in the animated cartoons, etc., but a life-threatening experience caused them to promise to reform - and reform they did. Unfortunately, I cannot remember or provide the references. I suspect that joining the Junior Woodchucks may have greatly helped them to become good kids. Das Baz 15:46, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Poor Ella had such low self-esteem that she even signed her letter to Donald using the cruel nickname "Dumbella." No wonder she totally gave up on her wild children and disappeared from their lives. Das Baz 15:47, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Phooey the 4th Duckling appears in a 2006 Donald Duck comic book, a special Saint Patrick's Day issue. Donald thinks he's Huey. Turns out he's a kindly old Leprechaun, out to ensure Donald gets the gold in order to pay the bills and donate to the needy. Maybe all appearances of Phooey are this Leprechaun in disguise. On the other hand, he appears to be far more generous and benevolent than Leprechauns are supposed to be. Maybe he is a Guardian Angel, and his appearance as a Leprechaun is just as much a disguise as his appearances as Phooey. Note that Donald, Huey, Dewey and Louie have often been saved from great dangers in their many adventures by fantastic flukes and impossible coincidences. Phooey the Angel at work.

There is a nice section on Phooey as part of the Wikipedia article on the Duck family (Disney). Das Baz 16:19, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
I think I'd rather be called "Dewdrop" than "Deuteronomy." Della and her husband, at a loss for a good name, must have decided to open the Bible at random and use whichever name the book opened to. Of course it opened to the first page of Deuteronomy. Das Baz 16:45, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
According to the Russian magazine Микки Маус (Mickey Mouse) #29/2006, the names in Israel are "Эздо, Дездо, фе Йоо". This would transliterate to something like "Ezdo, Dezdo, fe Yoo". Unfortunately I can't find any corroboration of this and wouldn't know how to render it in Hebrew. Gr8white 06:09, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Per comment on the revert. it probably fits best under Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a dictionary. This also is the English Wikipedia, there are interwiki links if people want to see a foreign name. Also this material has already been deleted before, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Disney characters' names in various languages Garion96 (talk) 12:10, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
I note conflicting edits on the origin of Dewey's name, with no formal reference for either story. Someone needs to cough up a reference, or I will kill both versions. Kww 02:54, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Was any specific age ever given for them? I'm especially curious of if an age was ever given in DuckTales. But an age given in any appearance would be appreciated. Thanks.-- 66.156.137.183 ( talk) 01:26, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, in "Yuppy Ducks," it said they were ten. 70.249.163.132 ( talk) 03:30, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
I noticed that tag on the article, and I have to agree with it ... we are woefully undersourced. As it stands, this article is in violation of WP:V and WP:N. That's a real shame, because Huey, Dewey, and Louie are about as notable as they come. Articles have to be based on independent material written by third parties. We can use stuff from the comics and TV shows, but just to flesh out the article.
Does anybody even know of some decent scholarly type material on the ducks? Kww ( talk) 23:35, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, Huey, Dewie, and Louie's father is not named Jamie Hawkins. There's an explanation for the confusion here: http://dcf.outducks.org/viewtopic.php?pid=9816 (apparently Don Rosa just wrote that in for whoever he was giving an autograph to). Unless someone can cite something more solid, I'm just going to get rid of that. -- Poisonink ( talk) 17:59, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
Why is this called a quartet... I think it should be fictional trios. Even if you included Donald, Donald is not referred to in the title... -- 184.146.6.191 ( talk) 15:35, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
Maybe of interest to add a side note that in Danish and Dutch their names are based on the onomatopoeic sounds ducks are described as making in those countries. 'Kwik, Kwek and Kwak' might be more obvious to English speakers, but maybe not 'Rip, Rap and Rup' in Danish. 219.88.68.195 ( talk) 21:41, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
