Likely born in Breed Rietland, Johnny Hollyday[2], also known as one of the Kemphanen[note 1][3], fights with Henri Dropshot over Anna van de Polder, another resident of the Plaspoelpolder[4].
Appearance
He is a duck of regular size, with long black hair drooping over his face and tired eyes. He wears a dark leather jacket adorned with metal studs, along with a red, glossy motorcycle helmet featuring a white finish and a dark blue brim. The helmet lacks a visor, but Hollyday instead wears goggles.
Underneath his leather jacket, he wears a red-and-white striped shirt and no pants. The leather jacket appears slightly oversized for him. On his character sheet, he is depicted sporting a cigarette.[5][1]
Personality
Hollyday is a classic biker duck, riding his motorcycle across the dykes of the Plaspoelpolder, showing little concern for the disruption he causes. He is indifferent to the quietness of the polder and unconcerned about the environmental impact of his motorcycle’s exhaust fumes. His demeanor is tough and dispassionate, maintaining his composure even while brawling with Henri Dropshot.
In the animated version of this scene, Hollyday doesn't have any dialogue, whereas in the book De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak, he engages in conversation while attempting to court Anna van de Polder. He casually refers to her as "Annie" and "cherry" without her consent, showing a disregard for her feelings.
Storyline
While Henri Dropshot is attempting to court Anna van de Polder in the Plaspoelpolder, Johnny rides by on his motorcycle over the dyke[note 2] to divert Anna’s attention away from Dropshot.[4] In the book De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak, Hollyday tries to persuade Anna to hop onto his motorcycle and ride with him to Plaspoelpark to eat cherries.[5] Dropshot, however, refuses to let this happen and starts brawling with Hollyday.[4]
In both Droom and De wonderlijke avonturen van de eend Alfred Jodocus Kwak: Goedemorgen, the fight results in them rolling off the dyke into a ditch. In the Alfred J. Kwak animated series, Johan Sebastiaan Kwak joyfully kisses both Dropshot and Hollyday after his own courtship of Anna has been met with approval.[2][6]
After Henk de Mol recounts these events to Johan and Anna’s son years later, Alfred Jodocus Kwak, Hollyday and Dropshot reappear in his dream, still fighting in the same ditch.[7]

The term kemphanen (singular: kemphaan) has a double meaning in Dutch. It literally refers to the Ruff, a species of wading bird, but is also commonly used to describe two individuals who are frequently in conflict or rivalry.

Kwak character sheet page with the other 'kemphaan,' Henri Dropshot (7/1). The character sheet was made in april of 1988. In his character sheet, Hollyday is shown smoking a cigarette. Also his goggles don't appear in his character sheet and his helmet is unfastened, with a brown strap hanging from it.[1]
