You donāt want to feed ducks Wonder Bread, or any white bread. It mashes down in the crop and just sits there. Itās called crop compaction. Ducky can die.
I was in downtown Boise Idaho and I saw a duck. I knew the duck was lost, because ducks arenāt supposed to be downtown. Thereās nothing for āem there. So I went to a Subway sandwich shop. I said, āLet me have a bun.ā She wouldnāt sell me just the bun, she said it had to have something on it. She said itās against Subway regulations to sell just the bun. I guess the two halves arenāt supposed to touch. So, I said, āAll right, put some lettuce on it.ā āThatāll be $1.75!ā I said, āItās for a duck!ā āOh, then itās free.ā I did not know that. Ducks eat for free at Subway! Had I known that, I would have ordered a much larger sandwich. āLet me have the steak fajita sub, and donāt bother ringing it up - itās for a duck! There are six ducks out there, and they all want Sun Chips!ā
I find that a duckās opinion of me is influenced by whether or not I have bread. A duck loves bread, but he does not have the capability to buy a loaf. Thatās the biggest joke on the duck ever. If I worked at a convenience store, and a duck came in and stole a loaf of bread, I would let him go. Iād say, āCome back tomorrow, bring your friends!ā When I think of a duckās friends, I think of other ducks. But he could have, say, a beaver in tow.
Chikuku, yes, the late, great master, Vaughn Bode, is clearly a strong influence on Jasonās style, and Jason is a worthy student. Jason has taken the lessons of Vaughn Bode and molded his own, unique creations.
Jason, perhaps you would like to āilluminateā us on the influences in your art (and ART it is!)
This has triggered thoughts about my favorite past masters: Hal Foster, Carl Barks (who was inspired by Hal Foster), Milton Caniff, Vaughn Bodeā¦and the list goes on. Carl Barks, by the way gets crediting for influencing at least one person in an entirely different field ā Archaeologist Robert Carr told me that the Donald Duck adventures by Carl Barks were one of the things that got him interested in archaeology.
I lived at an apartment complex that had a vampire duck. People would wake up and find that their loaf of bread had been drained of its insides during the night, leaving a hollow crust.
We all feared the nocturnal visits of Count Quackula.
As Iāve said many times, Vaughn Bodeā is my favorite and most influential cartoonist of all of āem. His work made me want to be a cartoonist from the first time I saw it, when I was about 9 years old.
