Huey, Dewey & Louie Are Dressed Better Than Anyone I Know

Turns out my childhood subscription to the Disney comics and whatever junior Mickey Mouse organization I pledged allegiance to were not, in retrospect, embarrassing. At least not because of the content. Belgian artist Simeon Georgiev has taken Huey, Dewey, and Louie—Donald Duck’s three insufferably competent nephews—and dressed them in Supreme, Nike, Givenchy, and MORT, and the result is that three fictional cartoon ducks now have better fits than most people I follow online.

There’s something satisfying about this. The boys were always the smartest characters in the room, perpetually running laps around their uncle with their Junior Woodchucks handbook and collective hive-mind logic. Of course they’d know what to wear. Of course they’d already be ahead of the curve. The artwork treats them as cultural icons rather than nostalgia objects, which is exactly the right call. I have no idea if any of these pieces were ever available to buy. Probably not. I want them anyway.
