HUMANS

A thing that irritated Barks was that the Disney Company would not accept 'real' people in the comics. He was allowed to draw characters who resembled people but they were to be fitted with dog noses, snouts or beaks. Despite this rule, Barks actually succeeded in drawing characters with close human features in many of his stories.

 

 

SEMI-HUMANS

Many characters have human faces and features but are clearly not of the human race.

PARODIED REAL HUMANS

Barks drew a fair amount of real humans in his stories. Most of them were button-nosed, though, but here are some genuine ones.

Robin of Locksley (British Freedom Fighter)
