| BIOGRAPHICAL DETAILS: | Salty sea-faring captain of a whaling tug that often carries cargo for Scrooge McDuck and is an occassional staff employee of his. He also often takes various members of the Duck Family on adventures. First introduced in comics when he rescuedDonald Duck whose inflatable water-mattress had drifted out to sea. Donald briefly served as his First Mate, but was soon replaced by Dim-Witty Duck. Never far away is Moby's loyal pet porpoise, Porpy (whose intelligence is obviously far greater than Dim-Witty's). Moby has a remarkable knowledge of the sea which serves him well. He is also scrupulously honest and responsible. It is unclear whether he and Dim-Witty are members of the Duck Family. | ||
