People give shit to op's pic but in reality ducktales was incredibly loosely based on Carl banks comics.
People like duck tales for nostalgia, but everyone who had read the actual comics knows the latter were better by miles.

>>149081928
I love the comics, but you yourself put your finger on the issue: the original cartoon was actually different, and different enough for the point of calling either "better" or "worse" to be kinda pointless.

>>149081703 (OP)
A Disney+ miniseries adapting The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck could be fucking legendary, but by this point there's not much of a mainstream target audience for an origin story about a literally white billionaire.

I read and watched both as a kid, and the only strong opinion I have is that Don Rosa mogged both of them, and it's not even close.

>Webbytales

>>149081703 (OP)
Dona Rosa has no illwill towards Duck Tales and infact has held up fanart the creators of the new show made of him. He just doesn't like people getting confused, because they inevitably get disappointed.

>>149082113
Is Wolfenstein the same as Battlefield 1942?

>>149082374
It's more like Wolfenstein 3D and Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

>>149082113
>>it just uses all the same characters and setting, but trust me it's not Ducktales
There's no Launchpad, Fenton and his mother, Webby and her grandmother, Bubba, Doofus, Duckworth in the Donald Duck comics. So how can it be the same?

>>149082371
This. In addition, Nu-Tales writers misinterpreted his comics and interpreted them in the wrong ways.

>>149082089
The mainstream American Disney wouldn't do it because it would be too racist by today's standards and they don't like Scrooge being shown going from a positive to a negative. It insults their company. Besides, they wouldn't approve of Don Rosa either because they would know that they would rename it to a new "Ducktales". It's better to leave it to professionals from Europe who know Donald Duck comics better.

But I support your idea, but it's impossible to do today.

>>149082449
I only watched a couple eps and for what I know the show could be solid on its own terms, but basically every single aspect of what I did see felt to me like missing the point of the best qualities of both the original comics and Rosa's.

(Didn't stop watching because of that; I just found the art and animation style unappealing)

>>149082528
>too racist
Any specific examples? Rosa himself downplayed or cushioned some of the original Bark's comics' most of-their-time stereotypes, and did so with more consciousness and grace than the average writer would manage these days.

>>149082524
I admit that the beginning of DT17 was good and it was in its own way, but I was turned off by the fact that they focused too much on children who weren't even children, and when they relied too much on nostalgic references from Disney Afternoon while changing it beyond recognition. In addition, the humor in that series was bad. There's more, but I simply saw that that series wasn't for me, and the only good thing is that it attracted me to the nostalgia of old cartoons (classic shorts, OG Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, Quack Pack, Disney Afternoon) and I respect comics even more than before.

Yes, the art style itself is somehow too simply cheap, (so to speak), like pure digital fanart (I've seen better drawings related to DT17 than that series itself), and the styles are too angular. They have no charm. Although their backgrounds are good, as is the animation, but nowhere near as good as during the 1990s. European comics (Egmont and Panini) have much better quality and charm because the authors respect those materials better. But as you said before, that series doesn't appeal to me that much either.

>>149081928
>, but everyone who had read the actual comics knows the latter were better by miles.

Which honestly speaks to the quality of the comics because that was a good show

>>149082619
Well, the fact that Scrooge in The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, in order to get more wealth in the Congo, burned down the villages of the natives and drove them out of their homes so that Foola Zoola could summon Bombie the Zombie to chase Scrooge, and they are depicted as caricaturedly "racist" (a little less than Barks in the original). And Scrooge's sisters Hortense and Matilda left him because they could not accept Scrooge's predatory behavior, which he then carried out against the natives.

>>149082662
OG Ducktales was very good for its time, as it is today, especially the first season. After that, it started to decline sharply, as did the quality of the animation in OG Ducktales.

>>149082682
But that doesn't depict racism, it's plain dishonesty and brutality (and very much has a point in the story) But I do get your point: ANY manifestation of that sort of thing would currently be parsed as racism regardless of context simply because of who the victim is.

>>149082089
Heh I dunno, they're still releasing Life And Times editions, even though they've amputated it. I think once Rosa dies someone will have a go.

You’re saying this like there wasn’t a show starring said white billionaire a few years ago, or that somehow that isn’t the thread discussion we’re talking about. It’ll never happen because they banned the few chapters for Bobbie
>B-but it’s Webbyta-
Even if you extend to the main cast they are all literally white and family to a billionaire, and mostly male. Hell even for the show as a whole the good side characters are all white outside around 4-5 token Latinos

The problem is the focus. A positive millionaire character if possible, even as a main character among an ensemble, and specially if he's kind of a jerk and the real focus is his humbler family teaching him to be a better person.

Depicting his fortune as a representation of his bad side works well enough, but making him the only main character and showing his money as a measure of his experience, effort and struggles, with his bad sides coming from meeting the dishonest path to the same goal taken by other people is just not a story people are interested in now.

It's not exactly that we need to believe all rich people are evil and lazy and dumb. It's just a roundabout way of deluding ourselves into believing being poor proves we are also the opposite of those.

>>149081703 (OP)

>>149083671
Same, though I sometimes wish I could simply enjoy and appreciate things rather than carefully sustaining a complex multi-buffer system to distill ersatz entertainment out of observing other people's relationship with media

>>149082524
tldr the show gets the characters and tone wrong, and tries to stuff itself too much with too much happening and too much wanting to be cleverer than the audiences. End result is no character has time to develop because there's 50 characters needing screentime, any sense of wonder and adventure is gone because the characters treat adventuring like it's an average day and the writers intentionally wanted to subvert usual adventuring clichés (there was a specific mandate of "no minekarts", as in the Indiana Jones minekart moment, as it was considered too cliché) but couldn't think of what to replace them with but dry sitcom sarcasm.

The fact it's a shit adaptation is the cherry on top, but it's just not good on its own terms too.

Yeah, mostly because people are finally starting to realize that the "get rich by pulling on your own bootstraps" BS is just that. You can become a millionaire by starting your own business and making savvy investments, but becoming a multi-billionaire (the contemporary definition of a rich person) requires generational wealth and unscrupulous business practices.

Calling rich people evil and lazy and dumb is not something I'm necessarily comfortable with as a general rule, but I also think in this contemporary age where robber barons are making an extremely public cash/power grab the likes of which we haven't seen since the industrial revolution...yeah, maybe being super rich doesn't have the same sort of philanthropist playboy allure that it used to.

>>149083735
This but unironically

>>149083737
The money bin doesn't have to be in the centre of town at all, though, unless you're following Rosa directly- which is part of the problem because part of their marketing was them going "we're following Rosa directly"

It's not about being an angry old man, it's about being wildly passionate for the thing that he loves. Having met him on numerous occasions, I agree that he's pretty chill generally. But there are certain things that can get him emotionally riled up. Mostly Disney being shit.

>>149083849

>>149083832
>>149083896
He strikes me as the type of person who is extremely passionate not only about DuckTales, but about the comic medium in general. I don't think any animated adaptation could exist that would receive a full throated approval from his camp.

>>149083906
What is this expression trying to convey

Is there a good documentary or book about the history of Scrooge McDuck and the large universe of Duck comics? Curious to know about the origins and production of it, seems to be something way more popular in Europe.

>>149084159
Oh he'd never give it approval (at least not from Disney- he's the sort of nerd who'd give a lot more grace to individual and smaller creators), just saying he's also not going to go on a Donald Duck rage fit at the sheer existence of it, especially now decades after he fell out with Disney. He's too old, it's been too long- he's still passionate but seeing Disney do shit he'll just go "well, Disney did shit" and move on, one'd imagine

>>149084184
The recent Taschen books on Donald and Mickey might have something, since they were co-authored by David Gerstein, who's an editor of Disney comics for the US and a historian about that shit. That said no, I don't think there's any proper centralised source about this stuff- you're stuck having to read articles and interviews from multiple places to try and piece things together, and you'll quickly find language barriers being a problem too.

>>149084201
Thanks for the information Anon, appreciated. The comics always looks very neat and the art seems very well done but I just never had any experience with it beyond seeing the show Ducktales as a kid in the 90s and the movie with the genie, loved that movie as a kid, watched the fuck outta the VHS. Had very good animation for a direct to video project.

>>149084225
Gonna try and give you a tldr but it's going to be inherently biased among other reasons because I'm not as familiar with central and north europe comics

>late 20s early 30s newspaper strips starring Mickey in comedy adventures start being made internally at Disney for King Syndicates
>the shorts were popular worldwide but strips are a more popular medium so they start being exported everywhere
>in Italy, bootleg translations and eventual copies start happening, until Disney tells them to stop but the publisher instead works with Disney to get them start being made officially
>Donald is also created and starts to become popular, so in Italy they make strips in the Mickey format but based on Donald
>In the US they start a new series of strips based on Silly Symphony, in which they just made stories based on whatever latest short had been made, but it slowly starts becoming the specific Donald strip
>In Italy, the official comics production gets stopped in the onset of war, and the publisher just starts making Mickey ripoff characters and continuing the strips with them- first a mouse called Topo Lino (as opposed to Mickey, who's named Topolino) and eventually just a weirdo short blonde guy and his tall friend who's a Goofy copy
>In the US, newspaper strips start getting reprinted in comic book magazine format, which becomes the most popular; a Disney storyboarder named Carl Barks decides to leave Disney and start working on new stories for the comics for Western, the publisher doing those comic book magazine reprints and that started doing their own new stories
>As the war goes on those comic books become more and more popular and, since they were cheaply made and given to soldiers to entertain themselves in the fields of war, start being carried worldwide wherever US Soldiers go, which includes Europe (but also Asia)

>>149084184
>>149084381
>Barks' new comics meanwhile are a cut above the rest, tighter more focused stories than the (also great) Mickey adventure strips, and the Donald Silly Symphony newspaper strips had always kept to just the gag formats. The authors of these comics were never officially credited, with the "author" always just being a signature indicating "by Walt Disney", but people will eventually start noticing that the stories by this one artist were a cut above the grade
>As the war ends, these comics, some of the most popular ever in the US, were now spread worldwide, and local publishers immediately capitalise on it, and local artists are inspired by them. In Italy, the publisher quickly switches back to official Disney comics again rather than the WW2 bootlegs, meaning the return of the Topolino magazine that's still being published today
>In the US, the newspaper strips had created nephews for Donald, and following that cue Barks creates an old Uncle for Donald and the kids, Scrooge, possibly based on an image of a stereotypical scottish Donald shown in a WW2 cartoon. The character was fun so Barks keeps using him and response is positive, so Barks keeps developing him more and more and eventually giving him the starring role in new adventures
>I assume throughout other European places like Germany, this is also when they start new printings of these US comics, of which Barks' stories were often the preferred, but everything else would get imported too, reprints of the newspaper strips, stories about other characters like Br'er Rabbit, etc
>In places like Italy, demand is so big that they start making their own stories again, doing their best to follow the format of existing stories but with their own flavour added
>In Brazil they start imported Disney comics magazines too, eventually focusing on Silly Symphony reprints starring José Carioca, a character made to be Brasilian

This also might be worth looking at:
https://uncivilizedbooks.com/carl-barks-duck/

>>149084381
>>149084477
Forgot to point the other reason some of this might be wrong is simply my memory failing me
>As you hit the 50s, the US production is at its peak with some of the best Barks material, the Mickey newspaper strip is starting to get some of its weirder material after having transitioned fully into sci-fi adventure serials that introduced characters like the menacing Phantom Blot, an evil Moriarty-like figure, and overall Disney comics are some of the best selling ever
>Also relevant to point quickly that over in Japan Disney didn't have a presence per se but artists like Tezuka were directly influenced by these comics, so manga starts to evolve often thanks to these comics
>In Italy the focus is becoming more and more on their new comics, and slowly new characters start being made that stick around, or new interpretations of existing characters, such as focusing on the Barks character of Rockerduck, a one-off rival to Scrooge in one story, rather than Glomgold, another rival to Scrooge that seemed more important, probably simply because Rockerduck was a more recent character
>Towards the 60s US production starts to become worse- Barks stops writing his own stories as much, starts writing stories for other artists, eventually stops drawing stories at all and only writes these Boy Scout stories about the nephews for other artists to draw. In his place new authors come in but they're all noticeably of much weaker quality
>There was slightly higher quality comics still being made in the US, directly by Disney, but weirdly they were S-Coded- which means they were made FOR foreign markets only. These would get printed in places like Australia, Italy, or Brazil, but not in the US. A lot of the characters people consider "European" such as Donald's cousin Fethry were actually created in the US for these S-Code stories

>In Italy production was going stronger, and in Brazil after increased demand for José Carioca, they start at first localizing US Mickey and Donald stories- removing Mickey and Donald from them, and drawing José in their place, giving him two nephews to replace Mickey or Donald's nephews too- and eventually, in the late 60s, new production starts where Brazil makes their own comics from scratch, with José Carioca now living in the Rio de Janeiro favelas and with some of the S-Coded characters like Fethry or Hard Haid Moe getting new stories and becoming surprise hits through the 70s and 80s, with entire spinoff magazines
>In the 80s US production internally was utterly dreadful, and by the end Western/Dell/Gold Key stops publishing Disney comics altogether. However, this is the era where you start getting fan communities and fanzines and so on, and they eventually discover Barks' identity, figuring out who the figure fans had just titled "The Good Duck Artist" was. Small publishers get the license from Disney etc to do reprints of Barks' work, and a new publisher started by fans decides to get the license to continue the monthly Disney comics- mostly focusing on reprinting some of the best material that was being done in Europe, especially from Central and Northern Europe which had a more Barks-focused style
>Eventually a man named Don Rosa, who was a big Barks fan and part of comic fandom circles, discovers these new publishers in the US and manages to get in with them to do new Scrooge stories, where he'll try to match Barks the best he can but mix it with his own sensitivities. He becomes a success, especially in Europe when his stories are reprinted

The latter got cancelled before any work was done on it though as the company found it too risky to use Mickey like that, but the former became Ducktales
>By the late 80s and early 90s, Disney decided to get in on comics in the US, as in, directly themselves, rather than give others the license, having seen the success companies like DC or Image were having. They took the comics license away from the smaller publisher made by fans, and had plans for a big prestige miniseries based on Scrooge's life. Don Rosa didn't want to work for Disney, but as it turns out, because his stories had been popular in Europe in reprints, European publishers started just hiring him directly- he'd be in the US, making stories for the European market, that then would be reprinted in the US. He set to create a larger comic series explaining Scrooge's life, as he didn't trust Disney's plan to do it; for their troubles, Disney figured this was a win win as it'd be cheaper for them if all they had to do was import the comic the foreign publishers paid for. This is why Rosa made Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, which became one of the most important Disney comics ever in breaking through the critical mainstream and gaining accolades and prizes
>In Brazil, some of the 70s and 80s boom was starting to wane and some of the magazines of spinoff characters were over, but production especially about José Carioca was still strong

It was a massive hit so they did a Mickey spinoff where he's a detective in a gritty city, Mickey Mouse Mystery Magazine (which was also a hit but eventually cancelled by Disney out of image concerns with the use of Mickey), and a spinoff aimed at girls that was originally meant to star Daisy and a bunch of new witch friends, but once the authors made the case to Disney USA that it would work better without the ducks (something Disney Italy was vehemently insisting needed to be there, Daisy or bust) and Disney USA agreed, the existing Disney elements got removed and the magazine just became a new IP- W.I.T.C.H., which would later get a cartoon adaptation and recently a reboot. The PKNA magazine meanwhile when finished got a sequel, then a more kid-friendly reboot, then the reboot got a game adaptation, then years later a proper continuation of the original version started again but this time as stories in the existing Topolino magazine, not as its own magazine
>In Brazil comics started selling worse so production dropped and dropped until eventually no new stories were made, with only very recently new José Carioca stories being made again in Brazil

>In the US, national production is extremely rare, instead publishers such as Boom have eras where they import a lot of stories from all of Europe but give up when they don't sell as much. The few times new stories have been made, they tend to be under the specific license of Ducktales, the animated show, not the original Scrooge comics. This has changed most recently as Disney started finally just having Marvel make new comics with these characters, with very dubious results in terms of quality. Otherwise the best you're getting is reprints by Fantagraphics
>In Central and North Europe, they've kept their production mostly as it was before, but slowly they're getting more mandates and orders and interference from Disney directly, most visibly in the forbidding from making new Br'er Rabbit stories, which was one of the most popular line there where the connection to african americans was non-existent- they just saw it as tales about a rabbit in the forest
>In Brazil, production disappeared then reappeared in a very tiny amount recently, and I'm not sure if it might not have disappeared again. Mostly it's lived out of reprints from all over for the past few decades
>France had the occasional production through the decades but have gotten the most relevance recently as Glènat got the Disney license and started making Franco-Belgian style, 70-page-or-so Album comics of Mickey, Donald, etc, in experimental styles

>>149085055

>>149085080
>Italy has become the internal Disney production powerhouse, especially after a controversial cover that homaged the victims of the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attacks made Disney HQ go "what the fuck are you guys doing" and bring them under their own control. Those new US stories made by Marvel, etc? The art is actually always by Italian artists, whom Disney now considers the only ones trained to do Disney comics and forces any comics involving these cartoon characters to be drawn by, even in licenses that traditionally had nothing to do with Scrooge etc, such as Darkwing Duck.

WARNING! The following comic contains VIDEOGAMES.

>>149084989
Probably not. It's not like Fantagraphics wanted that stuff removed- they've always been fine reprinting whatever, with at most a disclaimer for context. It was Disney themselves demanding it be removed

Wait, so Disney didn't reign in the Italian publication because of "Mickey Mouse Fucks", the guns, the suggestive content, etc?
THIS is why they were reigned in?

>>149085613
There was already a push by some to make the comic more kid-friendly etc internally and by some in Disney's italian branches- the people now known often as just "Disney Milan"- who'd already been doing things like translating Italian stories into English for digital distribution only with kiddified text etc. Basically that cover, which was a political statement, was then used as the pretext to finally go "they're out of control".

Elements prior had already caused trouble, as you mention, it's just in this case it happened to happen at the exact right time. Disney started to heavily take an eye on what Topolino was doing after it. In previous instances Disney just didn't care much, they'd say "don't do it" and not care, but this time they went "don't do it but hey, you got our attention now".

>>149085451

If you're not from Europe, you certainly won't understand. There's a lot of bad luck among Europeans, and Donald and his family have a long history, just like Europeans.

>>149084172
Frustration that despite decades of his hard work, people only seem to care or remember Ducktales, which he has no real affiliation with. Basically, it conveys mild seething and a minor sense of superiority.

>>149089164
And it's right ,given this board brings up raging over Ducktales more then Rosa's comics or duck comics overall

>>149089108
There's European comics better than Ducktales shit.

>>149089482
Then why do you never bring them up
We have more threads from you about how much you hate this show from 8 years ago then we do Euro comic or Rosa comic threads

Every Ducktales thread always devolves into schitzo posting about how much the Nu Ducktales is bad because it's corporate pandering. Nobody ever wants to talk about the pros and cons of any ducktales incarnation, people just wanna talk shit about Disney and worship Carl Barks and especially Rosa and that card he has and blame everything on feminism and wokeness and groomers and whatever people call Disney now.

You can't like Nuducktales because that makes you a consoomer. I'm tired of being so lost in these threads, and I highly highly doubt Rosa has any ill will towards Nuducktales

>>149085784
I think they could have pulled that excuse at anytime, they didn't need a reason anymore
That this tame ass shit was the reason since it was the most minuscule political and you'd have to really be in the know to get the reference is hysterical

>>149081703 (OP)
based on what

>>149089745
The Rosafags will go
"LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU" Whenever you remind them Rosa also disliked the original show and actually liked Scrooge's characterization in 2017

>>149089745
You described multiple different franchises and their fates on this board. Some people here care more about "controversy" than the thing itself. Same low IQ's who would've swallowed TMZ 20 years ago

>>149081703 (OP)
Stories can be changed, can be retold, isn't it fascinating? Inspiring new different visions of your work? New generations loving your work so much they create new visions of it not out of malice but 'cause how much respect and love they feel about your work. Be happy people still loves your work so much they use it to create new stories, keeping your work alive in the process.

>>149089482
Of course, European comics are better, but unfortunately, many people don't know about those comics. Ask the average American who knows a lot about superhero comics about Duck Avenger. He would think it was some kind of copy of Darkwing Duck.

On with Hearts of Yukon

Rosa's work is good, but he went into autistic fanfic territory with Scrooge and Goldie, returning to it way too many times and making it sappier each time.

The original Barks story doesn't even imply they fancied each other. Scrooge just takes pity on an impoverished woman he knew and came to begrudgingly respect many years ago.

Rosa making a romance of it is COMPATIBLE with the Barks story, and I don't want to complain about him elaborating on Barks like that (which he does constantly with good results), but he went too far with Scrooge mooning over her constantly (but never writing to her or visiting her)

>>149084694
is this real

>>149096857

>>149096873

>>149096862
I don't mind the romance as it imo genuinely expands on Scrooge's character in a way that makes him feel more fleshed out.

>>149096883

>>149096500
She had a good run in 90s Brazil and has gotten a lot more use recently in Italy

>>149096892

>>149096905

>>149096739
maybe next time anon

>>149096862
I think the original Barks story does imply some romance, it's just that it was just that- a romance of Scrooge's past- and not THE romance of Scrooge's life as Rosa rewrites it to be

>>149096920

>>149096936

I don't mind the first bits, but Scrooge leaving Goldie's letter unread in the snow should really have been the end of it Having them fuck in Scrooge's shed was too much when it's supposed to come off as a tragic what-might-have-been derailed by the excessive pride of both characters.

scanlators have taken to the same standards official american disney comics translations used to have, which unfortunately means "loose translation and punching up". So it means I don't know if in that last panel she did call him "grandpa" in italian and meaning "old man", or if the scanlator added it in because "muh headcanon dickie scrooge's granddaughter"

It'll be a bit before it's done uploading, but here's the comic and soundtrack.
https://wormhole.app/vbNY5b#FKGtwT6rF7UzWVnOsIs08w
As for buying it, you have a few options.
The best is The Complete Life & Times of Scrooge McDuck. Hardcover, cloth spine, slipcase with a #1 Dime replica. It's a bit bigger than an Absolute Edition.
2nd best, yet arguably better, is the Don Rosa Library Collection from Fantagraphics. HC, you can get them in single volumes or pairs with a slipcase if you're lucky and willing to shell out. Most of Life & Times is across volumes 4 and 5, with some later additions in like vol 10. This is ALL of Rosa's Duck comics, Donald and Scrooge, in release order.
Other than those, I'm pretty sure someone(fantagraphics maybe?) released a two volume set, and there's a much older 1 volume set.

He has a loose resemblance to Scrooge McDuck now that I think of it.

>>149106241
Never stated. The story she's from originally predates Rosa writing Scrooge and Goldie as forever lovers (in fact IIRC it's the second story to ever use Goldie) , so the intent probably was just that after Scrooge left Goldie eventually found someone

>>149082089
I think you'd have better luck waiting for it to go public domain.
Like Donald will in less than 4 years.

>>149097590
Not sure if that's really 80's fashion

This thread has made me want to reread the Life and Times.

The racemixing within the duckverse is weird. Birds are apparently capable of intermixing, at least if they are all watefowl.

They are anthropomorphic ducks (plus geese if we look at Gus) and they act like us humans act and care about our species as we care about our races. They are white people just like us. It doesn't take any miscegenation or incest to ruin their tree. We are not reptilian monarchs or a "chosen" people. White ducks are the best in the world and Rosa knows why he did it.

P.S. Is it possible that we have a real duck thread after a long time that we have passed the 400th post on this thread after a long time?! This is phenomenal! Long live Don Rosa and long live Donald Duck comics!

Speaking of, are there anything like that in Duck comics? I've only read a little more than Life & Times, so I only recall Ducks and similar things, mostly Dogs, the occasional Mouse when Mickey is involved, and Pete and PJ as the standing examples of Cats.

I'm against localization of names, but dammit if they didn't pick a good one.

Donald is portrayed as everyday relatable duck but he's as elite of a family as you can get and rarely has to do anything to live

Most languages have altered the names of these characters. It's localisations made for 5 year old children in the 1940s, they weren't concerned about literary integrity.

The swedish one is funny
Joakim von Anka makes him sound like he's supposed to be german, and on top of that, Gyro is named Uppfinnar-Jocke in swedish - Jocke is short for Joakim.
So it is more or less Joakim von Duck and his trustly friend Inventor-Joakim.

Not surprising, Disney hasn't allowed them for him in around a quarter century in the states. Seems to be very recent since I've seen issues a few years back with them.
At the same time how do they write his comics without it? Panchito doesn't need them to be written in a lot he's in since he's adaptable but the ones they publish are pure western comics starring only him and his horse. How do they have any conflict and have enough storylines for him if the central item for westerns isn't allowed?

>>149113762

>>149113778
Western stories without guns in kids comics tend to instead focus in things like lassos, fist fights, or just general slapstick

Are you kidding me that the Italians are making a Quack Pack out of Donald's nephews? Daisy's nieces are okay, although the Dutch version of them is the best for me so far. Otherwise, a nice cover, although I don't know if they made a special for Daisy Duck's 85th birthday?

>>149111016
Carl Barks wanted to call him "Uncle Harpagon" in France, after the title character of the 17th century French play The Miser, but one of Disney's editors overruled it for some reason.

>>149095830
He doesn't watch anything after 1990 that isn't to his taste, as he likes old-fashioned. He probably doesn't know about the Cabs series, but he has a negative opinion of DT17, but he himself said that he doesn't care because he knows that Disney is doing what they think is important.

>>149112755
Thanks for all the Dickie content, which has nothing to do with Don Rosa, because fuck that old creep.

>>149095830
I remember someone here asked and he said he was alright with it?
Remember that even though he has fondness for the Cabs (he did make two stories with them and have them as Donald's best friends after all) they are a side interest to his main autistic interest, Scrooge and Bark's comic universe. He'd want them to be best bros but wouldn't be as autistically mad over any changes or shortcomings as he is with the main family

no need to shit on one hand to praise the other you asshole

>>149107936
One thing I learned recently is that Rosa's headcanon considers the father of the triplets (Della's unnamed husband) to be Daisy's brother.
This explain why they sometimes call her "Aunt Daisy" even when she's ditching Donald.

>>149114389
Yeah. Not a fan of it though, feels a bit too closed circle. Daffy is still the better option

You really think that black people WANT to live in shitty living conditions because that's in their nature? You really don't think they were put there from shitty circumstances?? I'm not implying that's exactly what Africa is, but being black doesn't mean you love living in shitty homes.

Yes. Now I'm going to hang a comic by writer Thomas Schrøder and artist Marco Rota from 2015 called "A Hot Meeting." It happens there, but it's at the end of the comic.

>>149116226

>>149116119
Marco Rota still drawing the most appealing Scrooge and Magica but with really shitty line quality, I wonder if he's just drawing in miniscule paper nowadays

This is what I meant. Oh, I forgot to post the picture. End of this comic. Sorry for repeating myself, so I don't delete it earlier. Thanks to the anon who posted before me.

>>149115986
My guess is they they are the second leading publisher of his comics after Brazil, so want their own "mark" and interpretation on the character and universe for when they make new stories
Which again, it's stupid because it's the same characters and same concepts but they just changed the designs and some of the names, and they are printing at most 5 new stories a year with the character so it's not a major part of their publication

>>149116226

yearning for love

I saw 1 episode of Ducktales with Magica before reading the comics, and her voice carried over in my head from the show.

But I can't say the same for Donald. I feel it takes cognitive effort to render his voice in your head when reading comics.

>>149116889
I really wonder how she would sound if she had a proper italian voice rather than a stereotypical eastern european one

She was based on Sophia Loren, and this feels like a pretty good voice for her

https://youtu.be/RxLzlutQj-w

She was also based on Gina Lollobrigida and this is a pretty good voice too, even deeper accent, very cute. Will do my best from now on to read Magica with this voice

https://youtu.be/x-m4LdWHoKU

>>149116912
What did they do for her voice in DT17, I didn't watch that far.

>>149116927
Catherine Tate, to make a stunt casting double with David Tennant as Scrooge. It's not bad, I like Tate, but it's really not connected to anything. Angones outright said they didn't want to do Italian because "it sounded like a cartoon chef", because the man's entire run on doing PR on this show is a masterclass in how to put your foot in your mouth

>>149116511
I just realized she is supposed to be a salem witch

>these are the best selling comics everywhere but in the USA
That can't possibly be true though. Definitely not true in Japan for instance. I would imagine that most countries have something local as the best selling comic.

>>149116971
I wish Huey, Dewey, and Louie were shot to death

>>149116954
In the comics? Not really, she's explicitly from Italy. Within the context of the time Barks' idea seems to have been entirely "what if Morticia Addams fought Scrooge", with the seductress element being added by focusing on how Hollywood villain seductresses were often European.

In that fanart, no idea.

>>149116971
He's stretching a factoid to make his point, in reality it would need a lot of asterisks like "Best selling comics everywhere (in the post WW2 period)" etc

>>149116173
He's even an asshole in-universe.
