    This cousin will be OUT!

    This cartoon remarkly marked the debut of Cousin Gus, which the only Duck family's members which appeared on Disney animated shorts so early.

    On my word, Gus should be OUT for sure, let alone violent-tempered Donald, I truly wondered why did the note was wrote" He doesn't eat much". This could really be a cheater, and when Gus rudely devoured Donald's dishes, like bananas, peas, and even sucked Donald's coffee by the loaf of bread!

    Besides the cartoon was being funny, I guess this kind of relative in reality should be kicked out for sure! But Donald can't stop Gus, so poor Donald!

    Ranted 8/10.
