Most nights, I’ll be sitting at my computer station between 7 and 8 p.m., staring into space and wondering what I should do for the next days MS-QOTD. This process usually involves asking the women of my household what might make an entertaining and interactive query, then getting nonsense answers that eventually lead me somewhere fun. Tonight, the response was fast, simple and fully formed, wondering which of the myriad cartoon ducks would reign supreme in all-out battle. Would Duckula’s vampiric powers give him the edge over Rubberduck? Can the lisping, simmering rage of Daffy Duck overcome Howard’s mastery of Quak-Fu? And what about Donald? Does ANYBODY know what he’s saying? It’s a virtual farmyard of feathery fun, leading us to today’s waterfowled query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) is super-biased on this one, what with my love of Steve Gerber’s Howard and his existential angst, asking: All the cartoon ducks must fight it out, loser wears pants: Which one gets your vote?

Destroyer Duck, for the greater good of creator’s rights and proper compensation for IP.
The black duck’s versatility cannot be matched. I vote for Daffy.
Never discount the Scottish ingenuity and determination of Scrooge McDuck.
Count Duckula.
