What The Duck is a comic created by Aaron Johnson. It was a daily comic strip printed in many syndicated newspapers, including the Toronto Star, from 2006 to 2016.

The character most often in the spotlight is a white duck who makes his living as a professional photographer. Other characters include differently-coloured duck photographers, each with a different backstory and personality, as well as human clients whose faces are never shown.

Tropes used in What the Duck include:

Bridezilla: Survival policy.
Carnivore Confusion: Not as much "confusion" here as Black Humor.
Cell Phone: …in an auditorium.
Crack is Cheaper: "The Longer I Shoot" graph.
No Sense of Personal Space: Would saying "yes" change anything?
Paparazzi: "With or without their knowledge?"
Trap Door: The "selfie station".
