This one got a bit tricky, because I had to get the “gave to me” line in but… the ducklings aren’t that articulate and expressive yet. So I had Rei, their keeper, give the intro.
The next one, and the ones immediately following, will be more challenging because I have to work that non-balloon “Five! Golden! Wings!” in between the other lines of gifts. Well, I knew it wasn’t going to be easy, right?
Incidentally: Yes, this is the gift line that got me started on the entire “Twelve Days” idea. C’mon, when we were all wee little tykes, belting out the “Five golden rings!” part was the best thing about this song!

The golden wings was pretty inspired. (My dad’s desk is a few feet from mine and he wanted to know what was so funny. I gave him a brief explanation and then the punch line. He laughed too.)
Hah! Two laughs for the price of one, that makes me happy. 🙂
I thought it was great. 🙂 The only thing I might have done differently (if this were my comic, which it’s not, so ignore me) is not show the ducklings in the first panel, so it looked like they were jumping in (as kids will do).
And because of what you said in the comments: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgSe_gzyM1c
Hard to go wrong with an Eddie Izzard clip, truly.
(Interesting idea, that! Ah well, I’m not displeased with how this turned out. 🙂 )
