I feel your pain, Stunt Duck. I mean, literally. I have no depth perception either, and my career counselor demanded I work as that guy who walks in front of cars and then claims whiplash. I need a better health plan, though.
It is a myth that ducks (and other animals with eyes on the sides of their heads) have no depth perception. Such critters, including ducks, may not have binocular depth perception, but they do have monocular depth perception. They sacrifice the advantages of binocular depth perception for a far wider field of vision, allowing them to better detect threats and navigate in groups. I suspect that the occasional pratfalls of ducks alighting on land has as much to do with inexperience in landing on hard surfaces as it does their lack of stereopsis.
stunt duck, duh haven’t you witnessed Daffy? I mean, I’m sure there WAS a stunt duck, but he just wasn’t happy with the results and said “just let me do it right, sit and watch”

I like it better when Annie and Sophie are in the comic.

I am surprised at a duck without depth perception. I mean really, they find food under water. Tricky, that.

OK; I’ll say it. Duck!

There have been time I wish I had a stunt double.
