I love how ridiculous the situation looks now.

Why does one of the realistic ducklings have eyes on the side of its head while the other two have them in the front?

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 2 points 23 hours ago

My guess is for artistic effect. Not portraying the eye right there would have looked odd, visually. Like a head without features.

I actually kind of like that decision, as the final effect matters more than strict reality.

Sure, I get that, but the incongruity takes me right out.

Who needs air, right? Lol

So Donald Duck and his kin, who don't wear pants, put shorts on for swimming?

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Yes, you've noted the same massively philosophical problem I did back when I was 5 years of age.

Normal clothes for them are shirts and other tops, but under- or swimwear is pants.

All part of the charm of being a Disney character! Also, the comic came out in 1958, and Donald's swimwear seems to be referencing styles from a couple decades earlier, I think.

It's really the unnecessary masks that crack me up most, though. Not to mention, Huey, Duey & Looey looking like such helpless little babies in the redraw, instead of their usual wise-cracking pains-in-the-ass selves. XD

How to get the original version he based his art on? I must be doing something wrong. When I open the link it's just 8 images. When I click on them out just enlarges them, but no references.. 🤷

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 7 points 2 days ago

Yeah, it looks like he didn't include the originals for whatever reason. Kind of defeats the purpose a little bit.

To get the full cover you can simply search on it. Here's one I found:
https://disneycomics.fandom.com/wiki/Walt_Disney%27s_Comics_and_Stories_211

Actually you can read the whole comic if you have a digital reader. It's online at various archive sites.

Albert Camus - The Plague seems to have a whole heap of covers.

Son of Godzilla just seems to be the new illustration for the cover

I don't think there is "more stuff like that" (Disney cover) on his site.. Looks like that is the only one.

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

You sound weirdly argumentative over little more than nothing.

OP has literally at least ~3 other covers in the link which he re-drew for amusing effect.

[-] Babalugats@feddit.uk 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yeah, not much I can do if it came across like that to you. 🤷

I thought that the link was to stuff like the one in the op.. It's not. I'm over it. Just thought I'd save people looking for the same as I was and thinking site wasn't loading properly.

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

Alright, I see what you're saying. Sometimes I'm just stoopid and hostile 'pon the whirl. Sorry about that, mate.

Seriously-- I apologise.
You were fine, and I was needlessly weird. I'm sorry.
