“We're the Duck Boys! Good or bad, whatever we do, we do it together.”
―Huey, Duet and Louie
Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Donald Duck's triplet nephews created by Ted Osborne and Al Taliaferro. They first appeared in the 1937 comic strip and corresponding 1938 animated short Donald's Nephews. Traditionally, the boys are identified by the three primary colors of red, blue, and green. Disney archivist Dave Smith once said, "Note that the brightest hue of the three is red (Huey), the color of water, dew, is blue (Dewey), and that leaves Louie, and leaves are green."
