Ducks in Mouseton/Mickey stories (unrelated to DD's ones)

[Orora]

We are used to Mickey and Goofy's stories having mostly dognoses and other "mammals", with the occasional "bird" characters.

After all, duck characters are meant to be in Donald Duck's universe stories, right?

But sometimes, original duck characters still show up... and I find that a bit intriguing.

Pippo e la coscienza acchiappafurfanti ("Goofy and the Gangbuster conscience" - 1992): Goofy unknowingly gets hired as a fall guy by a crooked executive (an anthropomorphic rat). His secretary, Mrs O'Kitt - at least her name in the French version - is a duck.

It was a nice story and I was kinda disappointed she was underused. Despite her short appearances, she really felt like a kind and supportive person.
And no, she isn't a love interest!

"L'ai-je bien dessiné ?" ("Did I draw it well?" - 1993): Ellsworth wants to become a comic book artist. He is terrible at it, but he insists into showing it to an editor. He goes to a magazine's offices and meets with the receptionist, who is a duck:

French-made Disney stories tended to take some liberties with the main "canon"... Ellsworth was completely established as "human" level, other anthropomorphic animals included apes, rhinoceroses and hippopotamuses... 
And you have this duck woman who is drawn from the Donald/Daisy mold.

Hmm, I only know of two. One's a French comic, "L'ennemie dans la maison", starring Annie Zize. I like her design and I'm interested in the Michel Souris stories. The other is a random backgrounder in the first panel of "The Midnight Mysteries" (a personal favorite, so that's why I know). 

EDIT: I just remembered a third, Spike (7) from the Riverside Rovers series.

Funny how this thread was opened now, since less than a day ago I accidentlally stumbled on the first page of the story Super Pippo e la Cronaca Buia (1998), and it struck me as odd that the first page featured a duck character, something that I don't remember having seen it before:

As for the character O'Kitt mentioned by Orora: she also has the same surname in the original Italian version, though here she is called "Miss O'Kitt".

Aaah! Very helpful. Another story has two ducks called "O'Kett", as well.

Although it doesn't feature original duck characters, the story Super Goof Meets Super Thief (1966) includes a Duck Bay Bridge in the town.

Then again, some W-coded stories, including many Super Goof comics, use the idea that the Donald cast and the Mickey cast live in the same unnamed "town": this also happens in the story I just mentioned, which features Donald's nephews and a cameo by Scrooge.

Still, these stories don't show original duck characters, just the established cast of the Duck universe.

In the thread Atypical anthropomorphisms in Duck/Mouse comics Zantaf mentioned many unusual anthropomorphic animals in the Danish Mickey Mistery series, and at the end of his message wrote that they include ducks.

There are many rather unusual anthropomorphic animals in Egmont's Mickey Mystery series. For example a hare/rabbit in "The Rogue Cops", a goat and a wolf in "Horror in the Wax Museum", three rats in "Too Close for Comfort", a few bulls and a rooster in "A Scandal In City Hall", a reoccurring hippopotamus in both "The Roman Puzzle" and "The Black-Tie Affair",  a camel, a horse and a bull in "The Purloined Password", a frog and two weird-looking rabbit/mouse hybrids in "Rosemary", a reoccurring mole in "Rosemary", "The Pimpernel" and "All in the Game", a donkey, a horse and what seems to be a camel in "Duet for One", a monkey in "The Werewolf of Duckburg", a goat and two weasels in "The Lost City Of Duckburg", a ram in "The Brisbane Conondrum", a seal and yet another camel in The Queen's Safe" and many more. There are also a lot of cats as well as birds of all kinds (including ducks) throughout the series.

Of course, I don't know how this is really relevant since in Egmont comics Mouseton doesn't exist, and the characters of the mouse cast live in Duckburg.
