Q: My daughter was asking me about Donald Duck the other day. She was wondering why Huey, Dewey, and Louie live with him (sometimes) but not all the time. Are they his sister’s kids? Or a brother’s kids? Is there more of a story to it or not?
Pamela, North Bend, Washington
A: According to the 1938 cartoon, Donald’s Nephews, they were the offspring of his sister, Dumbella. In that cartoon, she sends them on a visit to their uncle.
