There is usually a consistent anatomy on the ducks. For example, they always have a pointy tongue (unless there are exceptions).
Usually, the ducks are drawn without teeth. Several times, we see Donald, Scrooge and others with their beaks wide open. All smooth inside. The throat hole and the pointy tongue.
Sometimes, the ducks will have teeth suddenly appearing. This happens mostly (always?) when they are "clenching" them in anger, pain or anguish.
Or when they will be "chewing" stuff, like this illustration I once saw of Donald noisily chewing ice cubes in front of Daisy.
But they are supposed to just be for a quick gag, right?
However, there is a story where Scrooge has a painful tooth so he goes to the dentist who removes his tooth...
A story that is all about teeth, by the way, since they go on teeth-shaped mountains and meet a supernatural Tartar warrior who is the embodiment of tooth tartar!! (forgot the name of the story, but it was in "Super Picsou Géant" in the mid-90s)
Another story has Donald meet a depressed toothpaste advertisement guy (who wears a pink elephant mascot costume). He asks him to say an ad slogan and gives him money for this. He also says about Donald "it's a shame ducks don't have teeth!". (forgot the name of the story, but I think the artist was Daniel Branca, and it was in a "Journal de Mickey" in the mid-90s)
So... are the anthropomorphic ducks supposed to have teeth or not? Are they "retractable" like claws?
Or is it just a form of cartoon physics and I'm taking this too seriously?
Also, thank you very much if you can help me identify those stories on Inducks...
