Muscles McQuack, a bodybuilding duck with sunglasses, existential dread, and way too much protein powder, is the main character of a cartoon series created by Australian artist and animator Ivan Reece Dixon. Each multi-panel comic is presented as a long-form story, often mixing absurd humor with unexpected depth.

Today, we’d like to share "Loan Duck" - a funny cartoon with a deeper meaning and an unexpected twist.

Scroll down and enjoy the adventures of Muscles and his new job opportunity. For this one, swipe through the carousel of panels to discover the full story. Let us know in the comments how you like this format!
