Donald Duck is often portrayed as an extremely unlucky, clumsy and short tempered duck, but nevertheless with a positive view on life. He gets intimidated by Big Bad Pete and frightened by unknown threats but rather than getting scared, gets mad and takes up fights with diverse and myriad characters such as ghosts, sharks, mountain goats and even forces of nature, with Donald usually coming on top. He plays pranks but there is seldom any malice in his pranks,
Many generations have now grown up reading and enjoying Donald Duck cartoons.
