Duck à l’orange.

needs a non slip surface
or even stephens one

I’m wondering if it can propel him in water, too.

But that’s super badass, and made me get dust in my eye.

You go Waddels!
That was pretty great, and I am happy for that duck!

But surely that design could be improved upon?
I get that it’s worthwhile in the sense that this scene proves that the duck is chill about being strapped to a foreign object. But the prothesis seems too tall for him, and I guess it would be nice with a little flex at the heel.

Look, not every duck has a background in aerospace technology that can be applied to an improvised prosthetic limb.

I need to get back into watching that show.

Also, good for the little ducky they can walk like a pirate now. Quack quack!

Cute. But I bet it came with a sizeable bill

[Yasif]

Thanks for that. I laughed out a loud

Terrific. Now make one the correct length with a tacky sole.
