Rumpus McFowl

Rumpus McFowl, also known as Uncle Rumpus, is Donald Duck's lazy uncle and Scrooge McDuck's half-brother. He was introduced by William Van Horn in It's all Relative (Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #593). Rumpus has a personality similar to Gus Goose's and his nephews have soon had enough of his manners and try to find ways to make Rumpus leave the Ducks' household.
He is a very opportunistic individual, and exploits his status as the brother of the richest duck in the world, which gets him into the higher social circles of Duckburg (such as high society parties), without ever having to work a day in his life, and therefore often profits from Scrooge's success. This is much to the dismay of his brother, who greatly values hard work and thriftiness, and disapproves of Rumpus' laid-back, "bon vivant" lifestyle.
==Background==
William Van Horn said the following about the creation of Rumpus:http://wvh.barksbase.de/en/stories/d91377.htm 
Van Horn has been re-using Rumpus in his comics ever since. In his first appearance alongside Scrooge, the two were still said to be cousins.
However, in Travails (Uncle Scrooge #323), Rumpus discovers uncle Scrooge's biggest secret, which he has kept hidden for years: Rumpus is in fact Scrooge's half-brother, and the son of Fergus McDuck. Rumpus, a lazy tramp, suddenly gets a high position in Duckburg's society after him being the half-brother of world's richest duck has become a well-known fact among Duckburg citizens.
In A Dime for Your Thoughts (Uncle Scrooge #324), Magica De Spell dates Rumpus in order to obtain Scrooge's Number One Dime.
==Trivia==
*His gluttonous, lazy, and freeloading tendencies tend to resemble Wimpy from the Popeye comic strips and cartoons.
