Likely born in Breed Rietland, Henri Dropshot[2], also known as one of the Kemphanen[note 1][3], fights with Johnny Hollyday over Anna van de Polder, another resident of the Plaspoelpolder[4].
Appearance
He is a duck of regular size, sporting a small moustache and ginger hair. In the animated series, he is depicted with a relatively full head of hair; however, in the book De wonderlijke avonturen van de eend Alfred Jodocus Kwak: Goedemorgen, he is shown with only a few tufts of hair.
He wears a green colbert over a white undershirt, complemented by a bright red bowtie (rendered as red with blue spots in Goedemorgen) and white spats covering his feet. Finally, he accessorizes with a boater hat and a monocle, which he wears on his right eye in the animated series, but on the left eye in Goedemorgen. He is frequently seen carrying a tennis racket and a coin for tossing.[4][5][1]
Personality
He carries himself as a dandy, strolling around with refined language and placing great importance on his appearance and leisurely hobbies.[4][5] His use of deodorant[6] and aftershave[2] could be smelled from great distances.
He attempts to win over women with this attitude, as seen in his pursuit of Anna van de Polder, boasting about his threefold inheritance.[2] However, when his claim to Anna is challenged by Johnny Hollyday, he loses his composure and engages in a fight.[4][5]
According to Henk de Mol, while Henri was frequently seen carrying a tennis racket, he was never actually observed playing. Instead, he was often seen commentating on the tennis players. He is also regularly depicted smoking cigarettes.[2]
Storyline
Henri Dropshot tried to court Anna van de Polder on the dyke, asking her on a walk around the Plaspoelpolder.

Notes
- ↑ Kemphanen (singular: kemphaan) has a double meaning in Dutch. It literally translates to the Ruff, a species of wading bird. In Dutch, it is also used to describe two people who are frequently in conflict or rivalry.
