DANIEL WROTE:
In panel 1.7 of the raffle turkey pet story (WDC 75), one of Donald's
nephews mentions his full name and possibly also the color of his cap: "The
blue streak you see next will be Huey Duck on his way to a raffle!"
AND I OFFER:
"Blue streak" is an American idiom that signifies anything moving at such
high speed to essentially appear as a blur, so it would not matter what
color clothing the individual was wearing. He would never be considered a
streak of any color but blue.
