2. Who was Donald's father?

Answer: Quackmore Duck

Quackmore, who also had a bad temper rather like Donald, was the Chief accountant of Scrooge McDuck, which is presumably where he met Hortense, Scrooge's sister and Donald's mother. You would of course naturally expect Donald and his father to have the same last name.

Answer: Humperdink

Elvira, known as "Grandma Duck", married Humperdink Duck. The singer Engelbert Humperdink is best known for his songs "Release Me" and "The Last Waltz". The German composer, also known as Engelbert Humperdinck, wrote six operas in the late 19th century/early 20th century, the best known of them being "Hansel and Gretel".

Gladstone was created in 1948 by the comic book writer Carl Barks. Gladstone dresses in a debonair manner, usually in a suit and bow tie and he has a wavy hairstyle. Barks used the character in 24 stories between 1948 and 1953.
