Always liked this spunky little duck. He helped himself. Unlike a lot of cartoons during this time period, he never cried for "Mama" "Papa" or "Mommy" like Hunkie and Spunkie and The Litttle Bull.
"It's A Living,"used a little footage from Flat-Foot Fledgling.Dinky also talked in Wise Quacks,The Foolish Duckling,The Tmid Scarecorw and Sink or Swim.(I'm waiting for those.)

Somewhat anemic gags, if they even are that, but 1) the background painting is rather handsome, 2) Wilbur Weasel is a nicely designed chatacter, and 3) Dinky looked really really good in his flying sequences. So the cartoon is well worth watching. At about 1:57 the rabbit's laugh sort of sounded like Nelson.
