A major ingredient in farcical comedy is mistaken identity. There are many ways this can happen, but perhaps the most common, and often most funny, way is a disguise in which the person is so adeptly masked that not even his closest friends and family smell a rat. Barks loved to put disguises into his stories, and he sometimes fooled the reader so that they did not see through a disguise until late in the story. Below are a few samples of masterly disguises - with the focus on Donald Duck - but Barks succeeded in camouflaging most of his leading characters at one point or another during his career.
Please note that this page has no mentioning of disguises used in connection with costume parties and such, but concentrates only on the most convincing and tricky ones.
