The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck - Tribute to Don Rosa - Happy late 75th birthday to Don Rosa! - Happy birthday Scrooge McDuck! - Scrooge's Life Once and Now by Don Rosa - Tribute to the universe of Don Rosa Duckverse - Duck comics and Duckverse - Gift for my friends - Duckverse in June - Journeys

If someone asks, why I was so absent, these drawings will be enough reasons for it. Because in the last two weeks I have been reading Don Ross comics again and decided to dedicate my tribute to one of my favorite writers and artists of Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge comics. And precisely for Keno Don Hugo Rosa, known as Don Rosa! He celebrated his 75th birthday last week on June 29, so in honor of that jubilee I decided to draw drawings dedicated to this extraordinary writer and artist who left one of the best stories related to Donald's family, specifically The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. Don Rosa was born in Louisville, Kentucky and from an early age, he has been drawing various things, especially superhero comics related to Marvel and DC, and then moved on to drawing his favorite characters from Disney, especially Donald, Scrooge, Huey, Dewey and Louie and other characters from the Duckverse, more precisely from the Carl Barks comics universe. He also invented his own character Captain Kentucky where he published comic books under that name for a time. He will become more famous when he works for Disney comics from 1987 and when in 1992 he publishes a series of comics related to The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. From 1990 to 2008, he worked for Egmont comics (Danish edition of Disney comics). He even wrote and drew Ducktales comics (Ducktales 1987) and scripted the Talespin episodes, believe it or not. He retired in 2008 due to health reasons, but he certainly travels around the world and draws for his fans. It is generally more popular in Europe than in America. And yes, he is very unhappy with Disney's treatment of his comics. However, he received many awards, especially the Eisner Award in 1995 for the best story and in 1997 for the best humor.

Although he inherited a lot from Barks, Don Rosa still created his own Duckverse universe in which he showed more sensitivity in many characters than in other authors. He also wrote and drew comics related to the Three Caballeros. In his private life, he grows chilies. He had a wife, who unfortunately died last year. May his wife rest in peace. Amen.

It is precisely because of these things that I decided to dedicate my drawings in connection with the tribute to the genius Don Rosa, so I drew two drawings, one dedicated to Scrooge's past, the other to Scrooge's present, but according to Don Rosa, because in Don Rosa's universe, Scrooge lived for 100 years, was born in 1867 and mostly acted his whole life.

The first drawing is related to Scrooge's past and related to Scrooge's family, that is, to his McDuck clan from Scotland in the period from 1877 to 1928, in which Scrooge met many famous characters, as well as the life development of his family. I drew Scrooge wearing Klondike clothing while digging for gold in the Yukon in 1897 along with his love from his past, Goldie O'Gilt, a Klondike dancer known as The Star of the North. Apart from those two, there are Scrooge's parents Fergus McDuck and Downy O'Drake, Scrooge's uncles Jake McDuck and Angus Pothole McDuck, Scrooge's sisters Matilda and Hortense, then Casey Coot (Grandma Duck's brother and Clinton Coot's son), Elvira Coot (Grandma Duck in her younger days), Ratchet Gearloose (Gyro Gearloose's grandfather), Soapy Slick (Scrooge's Klondike nemesis) and Duck siblings Donald and Della Duck as small children (little boy and little girl).

The second drawing is related to Scrooge's present, but according to Don Rosa, it means between 1947 and 1955. Scrooge is in the middle along with his first coin which he earned for the first time in 1877. Beside him is the love of his past, Goldie O'Gilt, only in her old age. In addition to the two of them, there are Grandma Duck (Elvira Coot), Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck as Junior Woodchucks scouts, April, May and June Duck as Little Chickadees (a girl scout club, the opposite of Junior Woodchucks, also invented by Carl Barks), Donald and Daisy Duck, Jose Carioca (José Carioca-Zé Carioca), Panchito Pistoles, Gyro Gearloose and his father Fulton Gearloose, Little Helper (Little Bulb), Gus Goose, Gladstone Gander and Scrooge's sister Matilda McDuck (in her old age). There are also Scrooge's villains and rivals such as Magica De Spell, Flintheart Glomgold, Blackheart Beagle (Grandpa Beagle) along with his grandsons Beagle Boys and Arpin Lusène (Arpin Lusène, known as the Black Knight and of course he is an extremely talented gentleman-thief, whose talents have long made him a millionaire).

By the way, although I'm late for Don Rosa's birthday, I'm not late for Scrooge McDuck's birthday, who by the way is celebrating his birthday today (apparently July 8, 1867 is his birth date). Scrooge celebrates his birthday on July 8th based on the 1988 book Ducktales ("Silver Dollars for Uncle Scrooge"), although he first appeared in a Carl Barks comic on November 14th, 1947 called "Christmas on Bear Mountain". So I wish him a happy birthday! And I hope you like these drawings! :D

If someone asks, in my opinion the best comics of Don Rosa are:

10. The Black Knight 9. A Little Something Special 8. Of Ducks, Dimes and Destinies 7. W.H.A.D.A.L.O.T.T.A.J.A.R.G.O.N. 6. The Magnificent Seven (Minus 4) Caballeros 5. The Son of the Sun and Return to Plain Awful 4. Last Sled to Dawson 3. The Invader of Fort Duckburg 2. The Quest for Kalevala and The Dream of a Lifetime 1. The Old Castle's Other Secret and The Three Caballeros Ride Again

If you like these drawings and these characters, and if you like Don Rosa, feel free to like and reblog this, just don't copy my same ideas and versions without mentioning me, thanks! Also happy belated 75th birthday Don Rosa and thank you for all you have left us! Also happy birthday to the richest duck in the world, Scrooge McDuck, but not for having the most money, but for having the best family, friends and rivals behind him! Also this is related to the Duckverse in June on the theme of "Journeys", precisely because Scrooge traveled all over the world to make a lot of money, and also because of The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck of course. Also these are my gifts for my friends and followers, especially for @blueapples-captain, @duckverse-june-2026, @pick-and-shovel-laborer, @calisotalatina, @colorousme, @duckburgsgreatesttreasures, @oddballism, @oddballsducks and @disneyweirdness and for the rest of you who love Don Rosa and his comics! By the way, Don Rosa today looks just like his favorite hero Scrooge McDuck! I hope you like this! :D

And sorry for my long post and long text!

And finally this music:

Here's an unfinished artwork of Donald Duck's family tree, on his father's side! Sadly I realized my mix-up when I finished inking, I forgot to put a space or banner where I could put their names!!

I thought maybe I could just finish and color it anyways but I messed up the coloring bad so Imma just post this here, forever unfinished. Well, hope you like it anyways!

Here are their names by the way:

Cornelius Coot - Mystery Lady*

Clinton Coot - Gertrude Gadwall

Casey Coot -Elvira Coot(Grandma Duck) - Humperdink Duck (Grandpa Duck)

Daphne Duck - Quackmore Duck - Eider Duck

*So when looking up Donald's family trees I found out about Donald's potential Great-Great Grandmother who had a child(Clinton) with Cornelius Coot. The name I found for her was...uh, Pluckahontas. Ok. Not using that name, so Mystery Lady it is.

A rejected comic script from Don rosa’s libray...we could have had grandma Duck beating the lights out of Goldie and I for one believe Grandma duck would have won.

Clinton Coot was 50% English 50% Native American. Maybe of the the Ohlone Tribe, because Duckburg is located close to where San Francisco is. Clinton traveled to all the Indigenous people to write down their knowledge. He Married Gertrude Gadwall who, I am just going to say, is 100% English. Not a lot of info on her.

Elvira Is 75% English, and 25% Ohlone Native American. My headcanon is that Elvira and her children and grandchildren participate in The Annual Ohlone Pow Wow. She married Humperdink. What I can find about the name Humperdinck is its German. Also, the Distelfink is Pennsylvanian German. I could see him having an affinity with the traveling painter that painted the Triple Distelfink.  I think I’ll say he is 60% German and 40% English.

Quackmore is 12.5% Native American, 30% German and 57.5% English. He Married Hortense McDuck. She is 50% Irish and 50% Scottish.

That makes Donald and Della 6.25% Ohlone Native American, 15% German, 25% Irish and 25% Scottish, and 28.75% English. Donald and Della have the McDuck Tartan Outfits that Hortense made for them.

Daphne would be the same as Quackmore. 12.5% Ohlone Native American, 30% German and 57.5% English.

I looked up the name Gustave it was Swedish but there is also English and French. I would put Goostave as 30% English, 30% Swedish, 25% French %15 Irish. His family don’t want to talk about their Irish part, but it is there.  

Gladstone would be 6.25% Ohlone Native American, 7.5% Irish, 12.5% French 15% German, 15% Swedish and 43.75% English

Gladstone in an act of rebellion attached himself to the Irish part of his Fathers Family. He Read about the Green Man and Shamrocks and incorporated that into his style. Daphne and Hortense were pregnant at the same time. Daphne asked Hortense about Scotland to bond. Hortense told her about some neighbors they had in Glasgow whose last name was Gledstanes or Gladstone. Daphne loved the name so much. Gustave’s family disproved of the name they wanted Goostave the 2nd. Goostave just let his wife have her way. It was a joyful name.

Eider would be the same as Quackmore 12.5% Ohlone Native American, 30% German, and 57.5 English

I don’t want Lulubelle to be blond most loons are black or gray anyways. I would give her black hair with a little bit of Auburn in the sunlight. I think she would be a Yellow-billed Loon because the beak looks bigger chinned and the Fethery in DT17 has kinda big chin. Loons are mostly in the Artic Region. I am going to say she is Inupiaq (singular) woman. 60% Inupiat and 40% Irish. I think her parents moved south for her health. She was skinny and would get cold too easy. People thought she was weird, but she just had a different culture. Lulubelle didn’t see any reason to conform. Eider Resonated with her. He was so proud of his Native Heritage and seeing her live her Native life inspired him. They named their first boy WhiteWater a native name and their second boy they named off his description Feathery. She raised her boys to respect nature and to be themselves.

WhiteWater and Fethery Duck are 6.25% Ohlone Native American, 20% Irish, 15% German, 28.75% English, 30% Inupiat.

Disclaimer:

1.       Almost no one in the world is %100 of anything there is so much mixing and globalization since the beginning of humanity.

2.       English meaning coming from England not the language.

3.       I don’t totally believe in the accuracy of DNA Ancestry Tests but they are fun things to do and it can help people who are stuck with their Genealogies.

4.       Native American or Indigenous blood quaintly laws are very controversial. I am not down with outsiders judging how much of a native you are. I feel like Tribes can do what they want. To me they can invite/adopt anyone they want to into their tribe or kick anyone out of the tribe. Your blood percentage doesn’t make you more or less native. Your leaders and your participation can determine that and NOT outsiders.

5.       Not all Indigenous tribes that live in the Artic are Inupiat. I just choose this because it is the most northern tribe in Alaska.

6.       This Family is %100 a Modern American Family. I feel like all modern American Families have Immigrants and a mixing of different Ethnicities in them.

So, i was browsing through Pinterest, and i found this! Coudn’t find the creator tho (I’m 30 minutes trying to find them), apparently this isn’t from a/the comics?

The changes in this one are that Casey Coot is Elvira’s husband instead of brother, which is weird cuz they still have the same last name.

And that Humperdink is now Gretchen Grebe’s husband, instead of being Elvira’s husband.

Aaaand lastly that Goosetave is Quackmore's sibling instead of Daphne ???? Weird because he’s a.. Goose
