Socrates M. Gosling

Socrates is a kid genius, sometimes identified as Gus Goose's nephew.

first mentioned as in an Al Taliaferro strip, when Donald tells to Huey, Dewey and Louie he has just recieved a telegram from Gus Goose telling cousin "Sock" will come to visit Donald and the kids. The "Sock" nickanme makes the kids believe it's some kind of bully, so they train and get glasses to not be punched.

However, when "Sock" arrives by train, the kids find "Sock" is short for Socrates, a brainy bespectacled cousin. Later strips show Socrates as a foil to Huey, Dewey and Louie.
