Duck, Duck, Goosed

NOTE: Following the restructure of this site, the adult content has been moved to our back room. Text remains so that you (and search engines) may know what to expect, but if you wish to see the collection of adult oriented artwork (naked women and ducks) from Carl Barks, please follow this link to The Other Voice Of ODD! archive of the original post.

We all know Carl Barks, right?
You know...  the guy who taught us all about capitalism when we were growing up:

The Man who brought us those great adventures with Scrooge, Donald, and the family...

...and all those other wonderful ducks...

... what...the...  ducks?

Duckin' A!
It must be another..

This  week featuring (pretty obviously) the great Carl Barks!

Long before he became famous for his work with the Disney characters, Barks enjoyed drawing women and bawdy humor. Early cartoon work for magazines like Calgary EyeOpener provided a playground for the budding artist.


In 1939 he released a Nude Lithograph with work reminiscent of great modern European erotic artists:


Throughout his highly prolific career he continued to use the female form as a way to get away from the ducks and enjoy his art.

My favorite works (though i love those simple figure studies above) come from a period when Disney revoked his license to paint the Duck family and he humorously responded with a series of commissions entitled Famous Figures Of History As They Might Have Looked Had Their Genes Gotten Mixed With Waterfowl, such as this delightful piece, Mountain Man:

(Yes, that's Myron Moose in the background)

I believe Disney restored his license fairly swiftly after learning of these paintings.

Everything but the logo by the great Carl Barks (spread over half a century or more)
