You can often find a large group of stories that undoubtfully
take place in the same universe, but the looks of the ducks
greatly vary among them. For instance, Barkses and Rosa's
stories. They're established as part of the same canonicity,
yet Rosa's ducks look nothing like Barkses. Hell, even Barkses
ducks change their looks, depending on what era the stories
are from, yet there are references that can place them in
the same timeline (for instance, in Glomgold's second
appearance, the ducks are visibly taller than they were in
Glomgold's first story, yet the second story shows the nephews
making a reference to the first story).
The obvious out of universe explanation is that each artist has
his own style and, even when it comes to the same artist, the
style can change over the course of his career. But, what i'm
looking for in this thread is an in universe explanation.
I recall something one said in a discussion at the adult section.
That there is a comic filter that shows things as the artist
wants the reader to see them, not as they really are (that
was an answer to why the ducks do not wear pants).
So, if we go by that ''filter theory'', during all Barkses/Rosa's
stories, the ducks have the same looks all the time, they just
look different to us because of the filter.
And, finally, how do you want to imagine, in your headcanon,
the unfiltered ducks? Personally, i think they always looked
like their mid 50s version (Barks), which portrays them well
balanced between human and duck features.
