What did we learn on today's programme?
- There is more than one old duck with glasses
- (Scrooge McDuck has whiskers, while Ludwig von Drake has some kind of long hair that comes down or something)
- Yes, some of these ducks actually do have hair. There are also ducks that have ears. Human ears.
- Most of the ones with ears seem to be policemen, making the law in Duckburg mostly mutant ducks.
- And so on, and so forth.
- The curly fry was originally an ancient Mayan delicacy.
Was Scrooge McDuck the inspiration for the Charles Dickens character in 'A Christmas Carol?'
ReplyDeleteNo you fool, Scrooge McDuck wasn't the inspiration for the Charles Dickens character in 'A Christmas Carol!' Charles Dickens was the author, the character in the novel was Ebenezer Scrooge. Ebenezer Scrooge was based upon Scrooge McDuck. Get your facts straight!!
ReplyDeleteYou're all wrong! The name "Charles Dickens" was a pseudonym for Carl Barks, who was a close, personal friend of Scrooge McDuck and created both the Ebenezer Scrooge character and the Charles Dickens name in his classic story "Christmas on Bear Mountain" (from Donald Duck Four Color #178, published by Dell in 1947). Scrooge McDuck actually stole the Dickens name and the Ebenezer Scrooge character and wrote "A Christmas Carol" as a quick cash-in on the original story's popularity. According to some sources, the relationship between Scrooge and Barks was never quite the same afterwards.
