In Popular Culture
Beatrix Potter's depiction of Jemima Puddle-Duck (pub. 1908) with a mostly upright, elongated posture, being an errant laying duck not trusted to incubate its own eggs, suggests that the actual duck she was based on, at her Hill Top Farm, Cumbria, was a Runner or derivative thereof.
Ferdinand from the 1995 film Babe is an Indian Runner Duck.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“The press is no substitute for institutions. It is like the beam of a searchlight that moves restlessly about, bringing one episode and then another out of darkness into vision. Men cannot do the work of the world by this light alone. They cannot govern society by episodes, incidents, and eruptions. It is only when they work by a steady light of their own, that the press, when it is turned upon them, reveals a situation intelligible enough for a popular decision.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“... good and evil appear to be joined in every culture at the spine.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
