Nuclear families are rare occurrences in Carl Barks' duck universe. The family structures mostly seem to consist of children raised by aunts and uncles. So Donald Duck and his three nephews are a very typical Duckburg family. Typical? Well, how typical can a swashbuckling, flamboyant, reckless and boastful family be compared to a normal, human family?
