It’s time to
get to know some of the McKenzie Farm’s characters a little better. Let’s start
with Glycerin the Duck, who makes an
appearance in strip number 17 (above), and who we have already seen in strip 13.
As he will not
fail to prove to you, Glycerin is possibly (well, definitely) the least intelligent animal on the farm,
and totally unaware of it. Having said this, he does also some qualities: he is
always full of optimism, although it’s probably dictated by the total lack of self-awareness and
deep-rooted ignorance that keep him from understanding everything that
surrounds him.
He is incapable
of taking care of himself and suffers from a severe lack of morals, but he is
nevertheless accepted among his companions if only because they are aware of
the fact that he is completely devoid of intelligence. He survives thanks to
Moses’s strict but paternal guidance and his patient best friend, the Pig.

| Strip 16 - (click on the image to enlarge) (Per la versione italiana, cliccate in basso "Read more" - For the Italian version, please click "Read more" below) You may be wondering why Albert the Wolf is not the colour we expect wolves to be. Wolves tend to have grizzled grey coats, with some black or brown here and there. Why is Albert’s coat pale blue?
On the other hand maybe you haven’t been wondering about
that at all, since all the strips published up to now have been black and white. However in Italy, where Albert is known for his eccentric colour, this
is one of the questions the author, Silver, gets asked the most.
In any case, here is your answer: it hasn’t been really an
artistic or aesthetic choice at all. Albert the Wolf came to life purely in
black and white and nobody cared what colour he was, least of all Silver. But
the years passed and it just so happened that he was faced with the task of
assigning Albert a colour.
He immediately thought of Siberian wolves,
with their grey furs and blue undertones. But the publishers never seemed to get the
balance of blue and black quite right, and Albert was left with an uncertain,
constantly changing colour. A decision had to be made, and Silver decreed that
the Wolf should be an unambiguous shade of blue, 60% cyan to be precise, aka Pantone
297.
