If we ever wanted to put Jim Starling and Drake Mallard at the same age in DT17, we could have an AU where Drake was Starlings secret stuntman, like during the end of the show they hired a stuntman to help Jim who was kinda falling off with his stunts. And the same events in show can play out just with Drake being on a older side… even if the original 20 age gap is still pretty funny.
Forgot to post this from last night.
I was able to draw this and show it to the legend Maurice lemarchie. And he loved it!
It something I had in my head since childhood. Pinky and brain reminded me alot of darkwing duck and launchpad.
Two comedic duos from my favorite shows.
Thank you Rob Paulson and Maurice lemarchie!
Hoss Delgado shares the truth of the D.W fandom.
It was nearing the afternoon, when Drake heard a knock on his door, he thought of it to be the typical door-to-door salesman, or worse Herb Muddlefoot, yet when he opened the door his eyes his greeted with two familiar-looking strangers, his parents Ms. and Mr. Mallard. Without waiting for an invite in, they walk past Drake and his draping mouth, into the living room.
Drake quickly shook his head, closing the door and went to talk with his parents.
“Mom, Dad, what are you doing here?” Drake asked loudly
“Drakey, is it a crime to want to see our son?” Ms. Mallard said
“No, but you've never come to visit before!” He replied
“Your mom and I are in town to catch some old friends and with parent’s day coming up, we thought it would be nice to see you.” Mr. Mallard said
Right, Drake’s parents lived in Duckburg and rarely came out to St.Canard…
Drake was a bit confused, his parents never cared before to see him, there must be another reason…
“Where are you staying?” Drake asked
“Certainly not here.” Mr. Mallard whispered under his breath, looking at the tacky decor.
“We’re staying at one of the finest hotels in the city, don’t worry about us Drakey!” Ms.Mallard said
“I wasn’t worried.” Drake replied
Ms.Mallard’s eyes looked around spotting Drake’s family photo. Walking up to it.
“Drakey, who are these people?” She asked looking at him with a plastered smile
“It’s my daughter and my side- my friend.” He said
“Drakey, you never told us you had a daughter!” She exclaimed
“I did…you must have just forgotten.” He said
“No, Drakey you must be misremembering things.” She said
“No! I told you about it and my new address in the same letter, how do you remember my address, but not the fact I had a daughter.” Drake argued back
“Drake, don’t raise your voice at your mother, you only told us your new address!” He said
Drake couldn’t bother to start a fight with them, despite him being in the right.
“Anyways, Drakey where is your daughter?”” She asked
“At school, but she should be off soon, Launchpad usually picks her up.” He said
“You don’t, rather lazy of you.” Mr.Mallard said
Drake was rather angry at this, his parents never really picked him up, he was picked up on the school bus everyday.
“Hmm” Drake said instead of making a comment
“What do you even do for work?” Mr.Mallard asked
“Uhh… I am a freelancer, I work for a few different companies.” He replied
“No wonder you lived in this house?” Mr.Mallard quietly said
He really wants to kick his parents out, like now!
“Well, you guys should probably head back to the hotel and get ready to see your friends!” He said
“Not without meeting your daughter!” Ms.Mallard said
“You can meet her later.” Drake said
“It would be rude for us to leave, without saying hi to our only granddaughter.” She replied
Drake was never going to get them to leave, it’s better to follow their whims, then force them to do something impossible.
“Alright, you can stay to meet her.” Drake said gritted his teeth.
Both his parents smiled and sat down on his couch, complaining about a stain.

Drake luckily wasn’t the only one who was greeted with his parents on this day, the fearsome four are currently suffering the same fate… to be continued…
Here is a question that has been on my mind for a while....
Does John D Rockerduck still have the deed to Gumption?
If Rockerduck still owns the deed to Gumption, it could make a interesting arc in the future. I think he would keep it as of sort of trophy. It could also be a family heirloom, well if he has any family left. It could also be in some sort of storage space or somewhere safe. There is a possibility that he does not have the deed anymore, he could of sold it, throw it away, or even lost it. (What do you guys think?)
Anyways here is a fun fact about the original Rockerduck: John D Rockerduck has 3 triplet nephews, their names are George, Patrick, and Simeon. They made their first debut in the comic called, Castles of Sands!
A small story beginner, on an old idea I had.
Donald was waiting for his new roommate, the last time he tried it, his “good” old pal Storkules decide to show his face and ruin his home… but it was fine it all got fixed anyways. It has been a year since the incident, and a lot has happened.
Donald was on his house boat, waiting for his new roomie. Who was supposedly coming very soon, he even went out way to prepare some snacks. Hopefully this roommate won’t be as bad as the last one. Donald heard someone on his boat, he came out and saw his new roommate. They looked a bit strange, but better than the last one.
They worse a shifty grin, a tattered red hat and yellow jacket underneath was a red turtleneck, it reminded Donald of someone but he couldn’t place it. “Welcome, I’m Donald Duck want me to show you around?” Donald said “huh? Sure…” the new roomie replied. Donald showed him around the boat, it did not take long. They arrived back out in the deck. “About the huge mansion-“ “oh, that my Uncle Scrooge’s, you are not allowed to go inside.” “Got it.” He replied. “Oh be right back, I forgot about the snacks…” The yellow-jacketed duck, look at the mansion with a glare in his eyes, Donald came back with snacks. Which he took. “Oh I didn’t catch your name, what is it?” “Just call me Negaduck.” “Alright… Negaduck wanted me to help carry your stuff to your room.” Donald looked around he only had one box. “No, it’s fine…” Donald left his roommate up in deck, before he decide to do some knitting. Negaduck brought the box to his room, making sure everything was still inside. His multiple knifes, guns, bombs, a mini chainsaw and other tools were all safe. Though it is bummer, he couldn’t bring his attack squid, it would of drawn too much attention. Negaduck was ready, for as soon as night set, he will get his revenge on that fake Darkwing.
When Negaduck becomes public enemy number 1…
If you replace some of lyrics with duck, it fits Negaduck pretty well imo. (He’s probably singing the song to the fearsome 4)
The fact that the canceled DW reboot had that negaduck was in his 50’s and DW in his 30’s is so funny to me, like imagine a 20 year older having a huge vendetta against you…
He would probably throw his back out if he tried attacking Drakey.
Truly another work of art!
Who do you think takes care of baby Jeeves when Rockerduck is out or busy?
I like to think that Bradford babysits Jeeves.
Meeting a DW fan on pony town is difficult, meeting two is unthinkable, but it happened! We hung out for like an hour- it was super fun!
