==Behind the scenes==
Taliaferro first appeared in 1997's W.H.A.D.A.L.O.T.T.A.J.A.R.G.O.N. by Don Rosa, where it was revealed that he and Osborne were the first two Junior Woodchucks under Clinton Coot. However, in 1994's The Invader of Fort Duckburg, Rosa depicted a certain Duckburg Charter Troop of the Junior Woodchucks as having existed in 1902. One of its members was Fulton Gearloose. The other two were anthropomorphic dogs named Billy and Tommy. While it is unknown if Rosa intended for Taliaferro to be the same character as one of the anthropomorphic dogs from The Invader of Fort Duckburg, it is certainly a possibility that he is an older version of one of them. To support this, Taliaferro is often a surname, while Billy and Tommy are first names.
Taliaferro was named after Disney comics artist Al Taliaferro, who collaborated with Ted Osborne, Osborne's namesake, to create the comic strip in which Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck first appear. His appearance also seems to be inspired by that of Al Taliaferro.
