Huey, Dewey and Louie origin

[Rob Klein]

Santiago:  Huey, Dewey and Louie were created only for use in the Cartoon, "Donald's 
Nephews" (1939?), BEFORE he ever used them in a comic book story ("Pirate Gold" in 
1942).  That was also BEFORE Taliaferro used them in the Donald Duck comic 
newspaper strip.  Once they were triplets in that cartoon, and had appeared with Donald 
in MANY, MANY more cartoons BEFORE Barks first used them in comics, they were 
already popular as triplets, with the same personality.  So, he couldn't change those 
"facts" about
them.
