Introduced in "The Depths of Cousin Fethry!", Fethry is a silly duck who loves the different creatures he encounters in the sea.

Relationships[]
Family[]
Scrooge McDuck[]
Much like in the comics, Scrooge turns to Fethry for help for certain things. Despite the fact he is very well aware of his weird behavior, Scrooge knows that he can be reliable sometimes. Fethry does, however, tend to send him on needlessly dangerous adventures which ultimately leads to a big waste of time. Nevertheless, he has proven to be a helpful ally to Scrooge, as he managed to get his sea friend Mitzy to forcefully send off an invasion ship that was threatening the Earth's destruction. Scrooge is Fethry's uncle from his sister Hortense McDuck's marriage with Quackmore Duck's side of the family, as Quackmore is the Maternal uncle of Fethry.
Donald Duck[]
Donald is Fethry’s cousin from his father's side of the family. Though Donald may sometimes be annoyed at Fethry during incidents such as slipping up to Della that Donald and Daisy are going away on a sailing trip for a while in "The Last Adventure!", Fethry still loves Donald very much and believes he is Donald’s favorite cousin as he is to him.
Huey Duck[]
When they met in "The Depths of Cousin Fethry!", Fethry was eager to show both Huey and Dewey the wonders of the sea. He grew particularly fond of Huey when he found out he was also a Junior Woodchuck like himself, and when they were in trouble, he knew he could trust him.
Dewey Duck[]
When they met in "The Depths of Cousin Fethry!", Fethry was eager to show both Huey and Dewey the wonders of the sea. While Dewey was skeptical about him due to his ‘weirdness’, Fethry liked him.
Skills[]
Marine Behaviour: Fethry seems to learn about aquatic behavior while living in the undersea laboratory. He learns how to find a way out of the grasp of the mutant sea worms.

Behind the scenes[]
Fethry was originally created by Disney studios by Dick Kinney (writer) and Al Hubbard (artist) for a number of stories intended for the European market. Although this makes him an American invention, his first appearance was first printed in the Italian Topolino #453 from 1964. His first appearance in the USA was not until 1966 in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #304. Only in the early 2000s was Fethry genuinely accepted into the American comic books, whereas he has always been a fairly popular character in Europe (especially Italy) and Brazil.
