I thought I saw that in a cold open, but I think it was actually a fan comic.

Dunno, it’d be fun to hear their actors all trying to do impressions of one another.

Watching Storkules in Duckburg! Observation: The harpies steal Mama Cabrera's handcuffs. As harpies steal the thing a person loves most, what does this imply about her relationship with her son? We know they will steal people, as seen when they tried to kidnap Glomgold, as clearly he loves nothing more than himself.

Edit: And another thing! They stole a Beagle Boy's money. Implying the Beagle boys love money more than Ma Beagle? Now that's a shame. >=(

And not even mentioning Huey's Junior Woodchuck Field Guidebook...

Just a gag, I suppose. They steal the Guidebook from Huey and not either of his brothers, for instance.

@ Eagal

Well, that's some new info that I've never heard from that particular episode (because I had the feeling it was worth skipping, as said a couple pages back).

Yeah, those points you've mentioned? Another perfect example of the show wasting potential drama and depth for shallow laughs.

This desire to try and twist every single conversation into a diatribe about how the show sucks is starting to get grating, yeah.

What he meant is that he didn't watch "Storkules in Duckburg!" specifically, having decided to skip the episode.

I still think the point applies, though, since I don't really feel word-of-mouth is an adequate substitute for seeing the episode yourself. It also feels kind of dishonest.

They'll probably want to end it around the start/middle of the summer, right?

Well, depending on how far in Season 3 is in development, they'd probably want it to end just in time for a premiere of that one.

Is season 3 already in development? And this one has barely gotten up to speed yet before another hiatus.

Season 3 is probably already in production. This is less of a hiatus and more of a midseason break. If they went straight into developing Season 3 after finishing Season 2, if the rest of the episodes of the current season are going to air this spring, then the third season is definitely already being made.

Frank likes making sly references to stuff that's going to happen in the upcoming episodes on his tumblr, and has been doing so for ages, so they've probably been done for a good while.

To compare, Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure is definitely in hiatus, and only finished up developing Season 2 month or so ago. So they probably only just started development of Season 3.

Edit:

Ah... well.. just ran into this on his tumblr, which I guess answers that question:

Hey Frank, how many seasons of Duck Tales are you and Matt Youngberg planning to make?

As long as we have stories to tell about this family and we can tell them well, we’ll keep making them. We’re well into S3 right now and still loving the episodes we’re coming up with. As soon as it seems like we’re not going to be able to tell stories to the best of our abilities, that’s when we’ll pack it up.

They sure feel confident about this show, then. Must cost a fortune to work so far ahead.
