In the film, Donald Duck is portrayed as an everyman who has just received his weekly pay. He is met by two physical manifestations of his personality — the classic "good angel on one shoulder, bad devil on the other shoulder" dilemma common to cartoons of the time — identified as the "thrifty saver" and the "spendthrift." The "good duck" appears as a slightly elderly duck with a Scottish accent who wears a kilt and Scottish cap and urges Donald to be thrifty with his money so he can be sure to pay his taxes for the war effort. The "bad duck" appears as a zoot suit-wearing hipster who urges Donald to spend his duly earned money on idle pleasures such as "good dates".

Marge began introducing male school friends for Little Lulu in her panel for the Post as early as 1937. These unidentified boys (the strip was in pantomime, with no captions or word balloons) were often dressed alike, in typical schoolboy fashions of the period, with short pants, large collar with bow tie, suit jacket, and tiny sailor cap. Gradually, a more portly version of these boys began to appear, eventually becoming a "regular" in the feature, usually as a suitor or playmate to Lulu. Marge referred to this character as "Joe" but it wasn't until the character was adapted into animated form in a series of short films produced for Paramount that something of his personality began to emerge and the new name of Tubby was first used. Tubby makes silent appearances in two Lulu shorts from 1944, "It's Nifty to Be Thrifty" (released August 18, 1944), in which he appears licking a lollipop and wearing a blue shirt, and "Lulu's Birthday Party" (released December 1, 1944), where he appears as a party guest wearing a black shirt.
