The dog nose on humans offense
John K. points out one of the creepiest aspects of the otherwise fascinating and enlightening Carl Barks' envisioning of Duckburg; the way mutant people would have the nose of a dog! This was always disturbing to me as a child, and no adult could give me a sufficient explanation. I guess it was a way to signify they played by diffrerent rules than "regular" humans.
Why not duck bills? And what's with Pluto anyway? He has a dog nose, but doesn't wear pants like Goofy. Bill Elder addressed this in Mickey Rodent, but Disney never explained it. Maybe we son't want to know!
