We've seen Donald Duck's nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie. But we've never seen their father, who would be Donald's brother. What happened to him? Does he exist?
Actually, he doesn't exist. Donald doesn't have a brother.
He does, however, have a sister, who is the mother of his nephews.
The only mention of Donald's sister that we know of is in a 1938 animated short feature entitled 'Donald's Nephews'. In this cartoon Donald gets a postcard from his sister, whose name is Dumbella. She tells him she will be sending her three darling little children, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, for a visit. Donald's nephews show up, and from that point they become a semi-permanent part of Donald's household.
In a later cartoon short ('The New Spirit', 1942), Donald fills out a tax form and lists the nephews as adopted. Perhaps Dumbella couldn't cope with the three of them any more!
So now you know the rest of the story!

My theory is that Donald Duck is the Michael Jackson of Disney
He wears a sailor suit top, and MJ wears those military looking uniforms
Both hang out with young boys
Both seem to have an aversion to wearing pants around said boys

He has an Uncle Scrooge but I have never heard of the parents of Huey, Dewy and Louie. Poor kids. I must be bored too because I am answering this. Here's to boredom.

I don't know, but Mickey doesn't have any sons either, those wierd little mice are his nephews...... I don't even think Donald or Mickey have even gotten married yet. (Unless you count Kingdom Hearts...... (King Mickey and Queen Minnie))

They are Donald's brother's kids, who he mentions but we never see.
Maybe it was an abusive household.

His brother is Daffy. And Daffy is a dead beat dad. So Donald has to take care of the kids.
