Bermuda Triangle Tangle

A still from the episode throwing Scrooge and the nephews with Captain Bounty.

***Bermuda Triangle Tangle*** is a cartoon written by Frank Ridgeway and directed by Steve Clark. It features Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, Captain Foghorn, Captain Bounty, the Seaweed Monster, Mr Jiggles, and, in cameo appearances, Duckworth, Bentina Beakley and Webby Vanderquack.

## Plot

Scrooge McDuck and Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck travel to the Bermuda Triangle in search of Scrooge's ship, the *Queen of the South*, which was reported missing in the area. They find themselves caught in the very thing that doomed the *Queen*: a Saragasso-like patch of seaweed that no ship can escape. However, they also discover that the depressed survivors of every ship have formed an odd colony, under the authoritarian but fair rule of one Captain Bounty. Bounty seems reluctant to form any escape plans, but Scrooge might be just what the islanders need to give them back some hope to make it out alive and go back home…

## Behind the scenes

The 27th episode of *DuckTales*, this cartoon was released in October of 1987.
Base Coin

The **Base Coin** is a coin (an American silver Dollar) belonging to Scrooge McDuck.

## Description

The "Base Coin" was the first coin Scrooge McDuck chose to place in his newly-constructed Money Bin. After remaining at the literal foundation of his enormous fortune for over a century, it was charged with large amounts of mystical wealth-generating energy in much the same way as the Number One Dime.

When she learned of its existence following a catastrophe which had quite literally flipped the Bin, revealing the Base Coin, Magica De Spell managed to get Scrooge to trade it in exchange for her help in putting things to right. To Magica's delight, it proved even more powerful a magic-boosting tool than the Dime would have been, but this glee was short-lived; turning the power onto Fethry Duck's mind on a whim, she found that making Fethry conventionally intelligent took so much magical energy that it siphoned the coin clean, rendering it useless, at which point she gave it back to Scrooge.

## Behind the scenes

The Base Coin is a major plot point in the 2017 comic story *Under Siege!*.
Betty's Mum

**Betty's Mum** is a female anthropomorphic duck.

## Description

The mother of Betty, a classmate of Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck's, this charismatic woman revealed on Parents Visiting Day in 2020 than she works as a producer on original TV series produced by Quackflix. During said parents' visit, she offered any children who wanted them cameos on her latest series.

## Behind the scenes

First page of the story.

***Attaaaaaack!*** is a comic story written and drawn by Don Rosa. It features Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck, the Beagle Boys, Magica De Spell, Argus McSwine, Arpin Lusène, and the Brutopian spy Z-13. Gyro Gearloose is also mentioned but does not appear, and the Bicorn Duck portrait makes an appearance.

## Description

After many of Scrooge's enemies attack his Money Bin in one day, Donald gets an attack warning device from Gyro for Scrooge to use. Things go awry, however, when Donald turns the device up to it's highest setting and it begins to pick up the attack cries of nearby ants, unbeknownst to Scrooge and Donald, who, thinking that the messages are from an attacking army, call out the Duckburg police and army.

### References

* In Scrooge McDuck's office, dates can be read on two ledgers. One of the books bears the date 1952, while the other is dated to 1954, thus implying that the story takes place no earlier than 1954.
* Scrooge refers to his company as "McDuck Corporation."
* Both Scrooge and Donald Duck appear with blue irises several times throughout the course of the story.
* The extent of Scrooge's wealth and power is mentioned several times. Scrooge claims to own "every TV and radio station in town" and the Hotel Ritz, the closest hotel to the Money Bin. He also says that one of his banks manages the pension funds for the local police department and that his taxes fund over 70% of the United States Army's budget.

### Continuity

Beagle Boys (2017 Continuum)

## Beagle Boys

The **Beagle Boys** are the 2017 Continuum's version of the main universe's characters of the same name.

## Description

The 2017 Continuum's Beagle Boys are much like the originals, a sprawling family of criminals whose many siblings often have a gimmick they are known by. They are separated into many groups, all of which are headed by their matriarch Ma Beagle, successor to Grandpappy Beagle. These groups include:

* **The Original Clasics:** This group consists of Big Time Beagle, the shortest beagle and the self-proclaimed leader of the group, Burger Beagle, a tall, skinny beagle who never or almost never speaks, and Bouncer Beagle, the largest of the beagles. The beagles in this group are the direct children of Ma Beagle.
* **The Glam Yankees:** The Glam Yankees are Beagle Boys modeled after colonial Yankees and rock musicians. One of them carries a musket.
* **The Deja Vus:** The Deja Vus are French Beagle Boys. They are based on the French phrase “déjà vu”, reflected in their actions they perform getting repeated right after. The Deja Vus follow the model of the Original Classics in that they have one short member, one tall, skinny member, and one large member.
* **The Sixth Avenue Meanies:** The Meanies are a trio of Beagle Boy thugs. Two of them look like generic thug types while the third appears to be a shady con-man type. The leader is named Bad Additude Beagle.
* **The Sixth Avenue Friendlies:** The Friendlies are the polar opposites of the Meanies. They are very polite and always smile, but will still carry out criminal deeds. Ironically, they look the most like the main continuity's Beagle Boys. The leader is named Benevolent Beagle.
* **The Deja Vus:** The Deja Vus are French Beagle Boys. They are based on the French phrase… wait, haven't we done this before?
* **The Longboard Taquitos:** The Longboard Taquitos are daredevil beagles who act and speak like stereotypical "surfer dudes".
* **The Tumblebum Gang:** The Tumblebums are evil clown beagles. One of them walks on stilts, one locomotes using somersaults, and one walks on all fours like a gorilla. They never speak, and communicate only through whistling.
* **The Ugly Failures:** The Ugly Failures are the least succesful of the Beagles. They appear to be more disheveled counterparts of the Original Classics. They are named Botched Job, Bottle, and Bungle.

A number of individual Beagle Boys have also been introduced, including:

* **Black Arts Beagle**
* **Broadway Beagle**
* **Backfield Beagle**
* **Bomber Beagle**
* **Butcher Beagle**
* **Jay Beagle**

## Behind the scenes

These Beagle Boys were first seen in 2017 in *Daytrip of Doom*.
Babylon

The Mad Scientist mentions Babylon alongside other ancient cities from the same general region.

## Behind the scenes

### In

*In Ancient Persia*

**Babylon** was an ancient city.

## Description

Babylon was an ancient city like Kish, Susa and the lesser-known Itsa Faka. In 1950, on the way from Duckburg to the location of Itsa Faka via aeroplane, Donald Duck and Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck were able to catch a glimpse of the ruins of Babylon.

## Behind the scenes

Babylon was mentioned in Carl Barks's 1950 story *In Ancient Persia*.
Beauregard

**Beauregard** was a human man, now some unspecified type of undead.

## Description

Beauregard was the butler of Captain Bartholomew Gore and Priscilla in the early 19th century. After the tragic deaths (and undeaths) of his masters, Beauregard remained at the house, even past the point of his death — after which his remains were interred in the berm cemetery of Gracey Manor next to those of the Captain.

Over one hundred and fifty years after the events, he gave a tour of the Old Gore Mansion to a group of tourists, concealing his true nature and merely stating that he “had been in the family for many, many years”. He told them the story of Bartholomew and Priscilla with the help of Priscilla's ghost, although he claimed to only know it second-hand.

## Behind the scenes

Beauregard was created around 1957 by Ken Anderson as a potential live host character for what would become *The Haunted Mansion*.

By the time the attraction opened in 1969, however, the host-butler character had been scrapped in favour of a bevy of live Maids and Butlers with minimal lines, and an invisible Ghost Host with prerecorded lines as the show host. It is hotly debated whether the Ghost Host is still intended to be the ghost of the Mansion's butler, whether named Bauregard or otherwise. The Host is outright conflated with Beauregard in the fan blog *Ask the Ghost Host*, whose canon's Ghost Host is named Beauregard Ghast.

At any rate, Beauregard was alluded to in the 2011 expansions to the queue of the Walt Disney World version of the *Mansion*, which added an epitaph-less tombstone for Beauregard to the Berm Graveyard, located close to Captain Bartholomew Gore’s. He also finally made his proper debut in a story in 2020 with *A Haunted Mansion Tale*, a Halloween special for the D23 website, edited out of Ken Anderson's originally sketches and story notes.

Bad Manors

**Bad Manors** is a mansion located not far from (if not in) Calisota.

## Description

Bad Manors is a spooky mansion located in the middle of a forest. It used to be actually haunted, but the ghosts were scared away when Cousin Marmaduke, Donald's crazy inventor/magician cousin, bought the place. Marmaduke has intentionally increased the spookiness of his new home, adding special effects worthy of a theme park "spook house" all over the building.

## Behind the scenes

Bad Manors was only ever seen in the 1953 comic story *Robert, the Robot*.

However, it takes its name from Disney's *The Black Hole*, and has ventured a few other times in Disney territory, notably reviewing *Treasure Island*.

## Behind the scenes

The 2007 American translation also mentions Fethry Duck and Ludwig von Drake.

## Plot

Magica De Spell uses a special magical recipe to swap her and Scrooge's bodies, allowing her to pretend to be Scrooge to gain access to the Number One Dime — and live it up on Scrooge's fortune for a while. However, she can't pretend to be the miser that convincingly, and meanwhile, Scrooge-as-Magica has a plan…

### Continuity

Bacteria Boys

## The Bacteria Boys

The “Terrible **Bacteria Boys**” were a horde of sentient, more-or-less-anthropomorphic bacteria inside a dream Scrooge McDuck once had.

## Description

Inside a dream Scrooge McDuck experienced in 1983, wherein which he and his nephews had used Gyro Gearloose's Shrinking Machine to visit the microcosm that existed inside a single cell of a single leaf of an oak tree, he witnessed one of the many confrontations between the Chloroplasts and the “Terrible Bacteria Boys” who tried to infect the building blocks of the cell, and had to be fought back. Appearing as something akin to an army of demons from a Hieronymus Bosch painting, the Bacteria were resilient and brutish, but rather unintelligent.

## Behind the scenes

The Bacteria Boys serve as antagonists in the 1983 story *Plantastic Voyage*.
Bill Money

**Bill Money** is a human man.

## Description

Bill Money is a genial American business. He grew up with his dastardly cousin Jim Rascal on the farmhouse home of marmalade tycoon Doug Maggs, his great-uncle. Upon Maggs's death in 1938, Bill inherited his enormous wealth, but with extremely curious instructions: he would receive the fortune one million at a time, monthly, and would only get the next million if he could prove he had spent the first one completely. If he failed to spend the month's million in time, the entire fortune would default to Jim Rascal. At a loss about how to spend the money, Money ended up traveling the world with Spirou (in the Belgian boy's first great globe-trotting adventure).

## Behind the scenes

Bill Money debuted in the 1938 *The Inheritance of Bill Money*.
Blotling

## Blotlings

Line-up of different types of Blotlings.

**Blotlings** are a species of magical semisentient humanoids akin to Toons (though subtly different in nature).

## Description

The Blotlings are a strange race of short, vaguely anthropomorphic monsters with simplistic minds. They are the creations of the Storm Blot, the first and most powerful Blotling, whom Mickey Mouse accidentally created by mixing Yen Sid's Paint and Thinner. The Blot was capable of spawning them intentionally, but any drippings of the unstable material that made up the Blot's body would also naturally mutate into a Blotling within a few minutes.

Like the Storm Blot itself, Blotlings have red or green glowing insides (revealed by their mouths and eyes) and an inky, purplish exterior. Their mind and morality is extremely malleable to magic, and seemingly determined by the paint-to-thinner ratio within their bodies; thus spraying them with Paint (for instance through the Magic Paintbrush) artificially gives them a peaceful and friendly disposition. On the other hand, they are not immune to pure Magical Thinner, which dissolves them as well as anything else.

### Types of Blotlings

Aside from the Storm Blot itself and the Blot's Shadow, there exists a great variety of Blotlings, which, together, constitute the Storm Blot's Blotling Army.

## Behind the scenes

Blotlings were created (along with their master) for the 2010 video game *Epic Mickey*.

A variety of **Blotlings** were sketched which did not make it into the games. They include a giant, ogre-like, aggressive version of a Spatter, a winged Spatter reminsecent of a Dropwing, and various alternate designs for the Storm Blot.
Ballroom Dancers

## The Ballroom Dancers

The **Ballroom Ghosts** are a group of formerly-human ghosts, male and female, who haunt the Haunted Mansion.

## Description

Among the most iconic residents of the Haunted Mansion, the Ballroom Dancers are elegant 19th century couples who spend their eternity waltzing in the Mansion's grand ballroom to the discordant tunes played by the ghostly organist. They have often been known to venture outside and dance in the streets of Disneyland.

## Behind the scenes

The Ballroom Dancers first appeared in early August of 1969 when Disneyland's *Haunted Mansion* opened to the public.
Battle of Wits and Witches

First page of the story.

***Battle of Wits and Witches***, also printed as ***Seven Sleepy Apples***, is a comic story of mostly unknown provenance, though Tony Strobl seems to have contributed to the art. It features Mickey Mouse, the Wicked Witch, the Seven Dwarfs, Snow White and Prince Florian, Bambi, Friend Owl, Madam Mim and the Magic Mirror.

## Plot

While Mickey Mouse enjoys a peaceful holiday at the Seven Dwarfs' cottage, we soon discover Queen Grimhilde's pride is now directed at the large diamond she wears on her crown. When her Magic Mirror reveals that the Seven Dwarfs have found a much bigger one, she quickly puts them to sleep using poisoned apples similar to the one she fed Snow White all those years ago and steals the diamonds. Wacky hijinx ensues as Mickey tries to recover the diamonds while also trying to wake up the Dwarfs…

### References

* It turns out that the antidote to Sleeping Apples in ugly old fools like the Seven Dwarfs is a kiss from a hag, rather than the Kiss of True Love.

## Behind the scenes

The story was first published in 1967 in *Mickey Mouse* #111 and was reprinted in *Mickey Mouse* #203. It was also printed in English in the Australian *Mickey Mouse* #128 and the South African *Mickey Mouse* #9, and, in a remounted and altered version, in the British *Donald and Mickey* #20 under the title *Seven Sleepy Apples*.
Bey A'Ghel Pirates

## The Bey A'Ghel Pirates

The **Bey A'Ghel Pirates** were a group of anthropomorphic dogs.

## Description

The Bey A'Ghel were medieval Middle-Eastern Beagle Boys who operated as pirates. They once kidnapped the princess Deysi during a sea voyage, hoping to hold her for ransom, but the princess was taken from their clutches by the Terrible Roc, and, from there, rescued by Donald Duck's distant ancestor Sinbad Duck.

## Behind the scenes

he Bey A'Ghel Pirates appear in the 1985 story *The Adventures of Sinbad Duck*.
Baron Von Sheldgoose

**Baron Von Sheldgoose**, or simply **Sheldgoose**, is an anthropomorphic gander.

## Description

Suave and refined to the point of snobbery, being considered stuffy even by his notoriously-uptight cousin Goosetave Gander,**[F****ANWORK****]** wealthy Baron Von Sheldgoose was the President of the New Quackmore Institute, carrying on his ancestors' legacy of always having a Sheldgoose at the head of the Institute, started by Clinton Coot's treacherous partner in the very founding of the Institute, the Baroness Von Sheldgoose. Though clumsy and mild-mannered, Sheldgoose is an ambitious egomaniac, which has often led to his going down a road of villainy.

In 1943, the Baron stumbled upon the secret lair of his ancestor, the evil sorcerous overlord Lord Felldrake, whose spirit was now trapped inside his golden sorcerer's staff. Sheldgoose was strong-armed by his ancestor into becoming his henchman and primary mode of locomotion, with Sheldgoose transporting Felldrake all around the world in the late warlock's attempts to regain his full powers and take over the world. This led to Sheldgoose becoming the enemy of the Three Caballeros, though he had taken a dislike to them even before these events, as he found their manners vulgar and disgraceful.

## Behind the scenes

Baron Von Sheldgoose serves as the secondary antagonist of *Legend of the Three Caballeros*, released in 2018.

His design appears based on that of Goosetave Gander, a fact notable enough that Sarah Jolley's *The White Balloon* later established Von Sheldgoose to indeed be a cousin of Goosetave's.

### Voice Actors

* Wayne Knight (*Legend of the Three Caballeros*)
Captain Bounty

**Captain Bounty** is an anthropomorphic pig.

## Description

Stranded on the Bermuda Triangle's Seaweed Island, the rough and disillusioned Captain Bounty became a tough but fair leader for the other castaways, creating a society based on the culture of the fortunately edible seaweed. Unfortunately, Bounty believed in taking no risks, forbidding any attempts to escape the Island. It took Scrooge McDuck to finally convince the population to rise up against Bounty and make their way back to the continent. Bounty, however, decided to stay on the island, to rescue future castaways and keep the Seaweed Monster at bay, which he knew how to do by playing a certain tune on a harpsichord.

## Behind the scenes

Captain Bounty only ever appeared in the memorable 1987 *Bermuda Triangle Tangle*.

### Voice Actors

* Allan Melvin (*Bermuda Triangle Tangle*)
Beast

***This is a disambiguation page for "Beast". By "Beast", you might mean:***

* **Prince Adam**, the protagonist from *Beauty and the Beast*, known as "the Beast" in his transformed state;
* **The Beast**, a monster from ancient times, featured in *The Twelve Tasks of Asterix*.
* **The Neverland Octopus**, the giant octopus from *Return to Neverland*, called "the Beast" by Captain Hook;
* **The Beast Keeper**, a minor deleted character from *The Black Cauldron*.
Beagle Brats

The **“Beagle Brats“** refers to Beagle Boy children, and particularly to a set of triplets, all being young anthropomorphic dogs.

## Description

The trio usually known as the Beagle Brats are a set of identical hellions who are the nephews of the three main Duckburg Beagle Boys. The Beagle Brats are a handful even for their equally-immoral parents, who often shift their guardianships to said main trio — who, in turn, have no idea how to deal with them. The Brats seem to have a rivalry against the Junior Woodchucks, each seeing the others as their polar opposite.

Though the triplets 1, 2 and 3 are usually the ones referred to as the Beagle Brats, there is evidence that any children of Beagle Boys who follow the family traditions at an early age can be referred to as Beagle Brats.

## Behind the scenes

The three main Beagle Brats were first seen in the 1965 story *That Motherly Feeling*.

A large group of Beagle Brats in its wider definition, including what appears to be at least one of the original triplets, can be seen in animation in the *DuckTales* episode *Take Me Out of the Ballgame*.

## *Beak to Beak*(2017 Continuum)

Launchpad McQuack's note in his notepad about buying a copy of the book.

***Beak to Beak*** is a romance novel which exists in the 2017 Continuum.

## Description

Scrooge McDuck once asked Launchpad McQuack to buy this romance novel for him. Launchpad dutifully jotted this demand down in his notepad, which led to an irate Scrooge (quite embarrassed about his taste for love stories, and therefore intent on keeping it a secret) kicking Launchpad in the face.

## Behind the scenes

*Beak to Beak* is mentioned in the 2018 tie-in *DuckTales 2017* book *Launchpad's Notepad*.
Blueprint for Murder

First page of the story.

***Blueprint for Murder*** is a comic story written & drawn by Jon Hastings. It features the Ghost Host (here identified with Master Gracey), as well as Mr Davis and Mr Coats, identified as the Coffin Occupant and Floating Candelabra respectively. The names of Crump, Atencio, Ravenscroft, Sklar, Anderson, Mister Frees and Yale G. are seen.

## Plot

The Ghost Host tells the story of the two architects whom, as Master Gracey, he hired to build the Haunted Mansion. That story soon turns somber as the two rival craftsmen start plotting to assassinate each other and take all the credit for this one-of-a-kind architectural creation!

### References

* Within the story, Mr Coats is said to have invented the Coats Automatic Hydraulic Coffinizer.
* Books by Crump, Atencio, Ravenscroft, Sklar, Anderson, Frees and Yale G. are visible in the architects' study.

### Continuity

* In the Library scene of Walt Disney World's *The Haunted Mansion* (1971), a two-volume book entitled *The Art of Deception*, written by one Claude Coats, can be seen. It is unclear if the story's "Mr Coats" and he are to be taken as the same individual.
* The reliability of the Ghost Host's story is called into question by *The Haunted Mansion* (2016) and *Mystery of the Manse* (2005), which both state that the Ghost Host was *not* the first owner of the Mansion, whereas he (as Master Gracey) is here shown to have been the one to supervise its construction.
* The *Haunted Mansion Pop-Up Book* (1994), meanwhile, implies that Master Gracey himself was the Coffin Occupant, rather than Mr Davis.
* The 2011 changes to the queue area of the Walt Disney World *The Haunted Mansion|Haunted Mansion* (1971) added tombstones for individuals whose names appear in this story as the authors of books read by Coats and Davis: Frees and Ravenscroft.

## Behind the scenes

This story only ever published in October of 2005 in SLG's *The Haunted Mansion* #1.

Mr Coats and Mr Davis are caricatures of *Haunted Mansion* imagineers Claude Coats and Marc Davis.

***Newland\_Bambi stories***

 This **Bambi** was a young male sentient deer. The character is a parody version of the classic Bambi.

## Description

One day, while grazing peacefully in a flowery field, the fawn Bambi found himself in the path of Godzilla; the "confrontation" was short-lived, as the giant reptile simply stepped on Bambi, by all appearances killing the Prince of the Forest in the process. According to one account, despite his apparent young age, Bambi had a son, or at least a descendant of some description, who exacted revenge upon Godzilla thirty years later.

## Behind the scenes

This parody version of Disney's Bambi — whose design is somewhat different from the original's — appeared in Marv Newland's famous 1969 parodic cartoon *Bambi Meets Godzilla*.

Beagle Babes (1969)

The **Beagle Babes**, one of whom is called **Beatrix Beagle**, are a set of triplet dognose girls.

## Description

The trio usually known as the Beagle Babes are a set of identical triplets who are cousins to the three main Beagle Brats. Though they appear to be sweet and well-behaved to the point of caricature, the Babes are as violently mischievous as their male counterparts; indeed, they use their girlish charm for trickery above all else.

## Behind the scenes

These Beagle Babes were only ever seen in the 1969 story *The Beagle Babes*.
They are seemingly unrelated to the adult Beagle Babes who appeared twenty years later in *The Good Muddahs*, who were not triplets, and none of whom was called Beatrix; it is possible that, like "Beagle Brat", the term "Beagle Babes" can refer to any group of female Beagles, rather than being tied down to any one set of characters.

Bolivar is not particularly intelligent, but he is placid and friendly. It seems that after being brought to Duckburg Bolivar "renounced" his past as a rescue dog, to the point that he refused to go near snow even if Donald ordered him to do so.

## Behind the scenes

Bolivar was first seen in the 1936 cartoon *Alpine Climbers*; later that same year, *More Kittens* established he had moved to the city, before the March 1938 comic *Forbidden Fruit* revealed his owner to be Donald Duck.

### Name

Authors have gone back and forth on the dog's name; Al Taliaferro had first baptised him “Tolliver”, after the common American pronunciation of his own name. Later reasoning that it was somewhat vain of him to have called a character after himself, he changed this to the similar-sounding Bolivar, which became the Saint-Bernard's classic name; but some thought it might be inappropriate for a "stupid dog" to have the name of a key figure in Venezuelan history, commonly considered a "national hero". Thus, several editors over the years have tried to suppress "Bolivar", for fear of Venezuelan authorities complaining, replacing it with “Bornworthy” or “Bernie”, though neither name has stuck.

Bolivar rescues Pluto in his debut, the animated shortfilm, *Alpine Climbers*.
Axe

**Axe** is or was an anthropomorphic dog.

## Description

Axe and his nephew were the owners of a pickaxe shop during the Klondike Gold Rush, where Scrooge McDuck would usually get his supplies. They had a large variety of pickaxes, from "tried-and-true" used models to brand new versions. Axe appeared to be on rather good terms with Scrooge, although Scrooge made it clear he was looking to spend as little as possible.

## Behind the scenes

Axe appears in the 2007 story *My First Million*. Oddly, he is no longer named in the 2018 reprint of the story in *Uncle Scrooge: My First Millions* #1.
Bicycle Banshees

The **Bicycle Banshees** are a duo of ghosts.

## Description

The Bicycle Banshees are large ghosts with small glowing eyes, dressed in large shrouds. Having discovered a passion for cycling, the two wraiths spend their eternity riding their bicycles around the graveyard of the Haunted Mansion.

## Behind the scenes

*The Wise Little Hen*

**Barnyard Village** is a village presumably located near, perhaps even bordering or being a neighborhood of, Quacktown. It is notably the home of Mrs Cackle and has claimed Donald Duck, Peter Pig, and Elvira Duck as residents in times past.

## Description

Barnyard Village is a small, rural locality in the country. It's a cheerful and happy place that is notably free from income taxes and politics. The village consists mostly of farmland and includes a large pond in which a teenage Donald Duck once docked his houseboat. Other denizens of Barnyard Village include or did once include Mrs Cackle and her ten children, including her son Blackie, Peter Pig, and Elvira Duck. It's possible that Elvira never actually lived in the confines of Barnyard Village, but she is known to have lived in walking distance of it.

## Behind the scenes

Barnyard Village's first known appearance was in *The Wise Little Hen*, though it would not be given its name in that short, only being called "Barnyard Village" in the *Wise Little Hen* comic strip that was released a few months after the cartoon.

### In

*Back to the Klondike*

The **Blackjack Saloon**, also known as the **Blackjack Ballroom** or simply the **Dawson Dancing Saloon**, is a saloon located in Dawson, Klondike.

## Description

The *Blackjack Ballroom*, better known as the *Blackjack Saloon*, was a saloon and dancing hall located in Dawson, Klondike. The *Blackjack* was owned by "Glittering" Goldie O'Gilt, who was also the star performer. Goldie and the other dancers lived in small apartments located on the saloon's second floor. In 1898, the saloon burned down. Glittering Goldie managed to muster enough money to rebuild it, but between the needed expense, giving up her dishonest ways to earn quick cash (due to the love of her life opening her eyes on the matter), and the Gold Rush's end significantly cutting her clienthood down, the saloon stopped being profitable and had to be closed down. In 1953 however, thanks to Scrooge giving Goldie some gold to come clean with her, as he could not bear the idea of her living in poverty, she restarted it and made into a hotel.

## Behind the scenes

The Blackjack Saloon was first seen in 1953 in *Back to the Klondike*.
Biography of Gyro Gearloose (2017 Continuum)

This is the biography page for Gyro Gearloose in the 2017 Continuum.

## Career

### Tokyolk

Some years ago, in Tokyolk, he was an intern for the evil Dr. Akita. Gyro helped Akita build a robot, called 2BO. Gyro programmed 2B0 to think of himself as a definitely real boy, however Akita reprogrammed 2B0 to be a weapon behind Gyro's back.

Akita let 2BO destroy Tokyolk. Gyro stopped working for Akita, and later got a job with McDuck Enterprises.

### Working for McDuck

Ten years later, while regarded as the best scientist in Duckburg, Gyro was never able to shake the reputation that all his inventions turn evil, embittering Gyro. McDuck Enterprises' board of directors disliked Gyro and tried to fire him every chance they got, but Scrooge always had faith in him. At some point, Gyro acquired an intern of his own, Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera. Gyro tended to treat Fenton more than a little dismissively. In 2017, as a last-ditch attempt to invent something that didn't turn evil, Gyro came up with the idea for the Gizmosuit, which was completed by 2018. Against Gyro's own wishes, Fenton took the armour to use to save Gyro, Scrooge, Dewey, and Mark Beaks from the haywire B.U.D.D.Y., and later took to regularly using the suit as part of his secret identity, Gizmoduck. When Huey met a glitchy 2B0, now called B.O.Y.D. and brought him to the lab for repairs, Gyro forced himself to confront his past and returned to Tokyolk with Fenton, Huey, and B.O.Y.D. There they encountered and fought Akita and Gyro learned the truth about why 2B0 turned evil. Gyro fixed B.O.Y.D. by telling him, once again, that he was a definitely real boy. Realising how much he wished someone had given him a chance when he was an intern, Gyro hired Fenton full-time and declared him Doctor Crackshell-Cabrera.

## Behind the Scenes

### In

*The Rescuers*

**Bernard** is a male semi-anthropomorphic mouse.

## Description

Originally a mild-mannered janitor employed by the Rescue Aid Society at their headquarters, Bernard’s life changed forever the day he met Miss Bianca. Smitten with the beautiful Hungarian mouse, he urged the Rescue Aid Society Chairman not to allow her to embark on a dangerous mission to help a young girl named Penny. The Chairman decided that Miss Bianca should be accompanied by a co-agent, and she surprised Bernard by choosing him as her companion. Though naturally timid and superstitious, Bianca and the other society delegates coaxed him into accepting the task.

This adventure would prove to be the first of many Bernard shared with Bianca, with whom he fell deeply in love. Eventually he determined to propose to her, only for his plans to be delayed when they were charged with a mission to Australia. Bernard would be forced to contend not only with various dangers to their lives, but the efforts of a dashing rival for Bianca’s affections. However, he gallantry rose above his small stature to complete the mission, capping it by asking Bianca to marry him "before anything else happens", an offer she happily accepted.

## Behind the scenes

Bernard was featured in the 1977 movie *The Rescuers*. He was based on the character of the same name from the 1959 novel that inspired the film.
Big-Top Bedlam

First page of the story.

***Big-Top Bedlam*** is a comic story written and drawn by Carl Barks. It features Donald Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, Daisy Duck, and, in his debut, Zippo. The 1959 German localization also mentions Daisy's aunt Griseldis.

## Plot

Donald Duck loses a precious brooch belonging to Daisy Duck through his own carelessness, and, when she asks him about it, the panicking duck claims it was stolen from him by a mustachioed strongman and he is blameless. Assuming the man came to Duckburg as part of the circus, Daisy orders Donald to go and get it back. Much to his surprise, Donald, who gets himself hired as a clown to aid his "investigation", does find the brooch there, in the possession of quick-change artist Zippo! But the slippery man won't let Donald catch him that easily…

### References

* Daisy Duck's Heirloom Brooch is “unique in the whole world”, though not, it would seem, all that valuable in terms of make and materials.
* Some time prior to the events of the story, there was a “burglar scare” in Duckburg, for which reason Donald Duck set up a secret cash box in his house in the form of an old sardine can and Daisy put her brooch in Donald's care.

### Continuity

* The 1993 cover to *Uncle Scrooge* #275, meant to illustrate Carl Barks's *Christmas Cheers* (1963), curiously shows Daisy's Heirloom Brooch among the treasures in Scrooge McDuck's Money Bin.
* The 1959 German localization specified that the Brooch had originally belonged to Daisy's great-aunt Griseldis, who consequently appears in *Der Stammbaum der Ducks* (1999).

## Behind the scenes

This story was first printed in 1950 in *Four Color Comics* #300. It was then reprinted in *Donald Duck* #261, and, of course, in all versions of the *Carl Barks Library*. A version shortened by five pages can also be found in the Australian *One Shot* #27 and *Donald Duck* #28, #136 and #249.
Barks-Rosa Universe

The **Barks-Rosa Universe** is a conception of Disney Comics applying to the works of Don Rosa. Though also encompassing most of the works of Carl Barks, it was not designed (nor, indeed, approved of) by Barks.

## Description

Although the Walt Disney Company has never attempted to define or enforce a unified canon for the Disney Comics universe, it is often felt that, at least as far as the Duckburg mythos is concerned, primacy should be given to the work of Carl Barks, as he created many of the characters and concepts essential to it (beginning with Scrooge McDuck himself). A Disney Duck Comics Canon centered on Barks was first codified by Jack L. Chalker in his 1978 book *An Informal Biography of Scrooge McDuck*.

The book was a formative influence on Keno Don Rosa, a noted Barks fan with outspokenly little regard for Scrooge stories by other writers (even, he humbly points out, himself). Rosa's conception of the Duck universe as he defined it in his stories thus comprised Barks's stories and his own, knitting together Barksian facts into coherent worldbuilding, though this forced him to blur a detail or two on occasion. He also eventually worked a few non-Barksian facts into his canon, such as the manner in which Scrooge McDuck earned his Number One Dime (originating in the Carl Fallberg-Tony Strobl tale *Chairman of the Bored*) or the characters of José Carioca and Panchito Pistoles (from *The Three Caballeros*).

One of the consequences of this definition of the Barks-Rosa Universe is that Don Rosa proposes the present day of Duckburg only spans the years in which Barks was active; he dodges the conundrum of characters' frozen ages altogether by setting all of his stories in the 1950's, regardless of when they were published.

A few stories of his broke this rule, such as *The Starstruck Duck*, for which reason he does not hold them to be canonical even to his own Barks-Rosa Universe. Due to the enormous success of Don Rosa's stories and the influence they have had on the Disney Comics scene, many stories by subsequent writers avoid going against "Barks-Rosa facts", although this link only goes one-way, Rosa remaining unwilling to accept other authors into this publicized headcanon of his. Nevertheless, this Wiki chooses to instead take a much broader view of Disney Comics canonicity, holding nearly all licensed works set in the Disney comics universe (and quite a few unlicensed ones) to be canonical to our vision of Donald Duck's world.
Bill Goat

**Sheriff Bill Goat** is a male anthropomorphic goat.

## Description

Blinkered and eternally mistrustful of Mickey Mouse, old Sheriff Bill Goat was the keeper of law and order in Silo Center in the late 1920's and 1930's. His relationship to farmer Gideon Goat is unclear.

## Behind the scenes

The goat sheriff of Mickey Mouse's home town first appeared in 1929 in *The Opry House*. The character received the name of Bill Goat, and an expanded personality, in 1930's *Mickey Mouse in Death Valley*.
Betty (student)

## Betty

 **Betty** is (presumably) a female anthropomorphic duckling.

## Description

The daughter of a woman whose job is producing original series for *Quackflix*, Betty was a classmate of Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck's by 2020.

## Behind the scenes

Betty is mentioned in the unofficial 2020 comic story *Super-Unca!*.

It is possible that she is the same individual as the Junior Woodchuck Betty who appeared in several Italian stories in the latter half of the 1990's.
Beghdad Kephath

Beghdad Kephath is a Beagle Boy from the Middle East.

## Description

Beghdad Kephath is a Beagle Boy who lives in an unknown country in the Middle East near Istandupp with another, similar-looking Beagle Boy, presumably his brother. To commit crimes, he would ride his camel along the waterfront, jumping it onto boats when they passed and stealing the cargo. He, along with his brother, was chased and presumably arrested by the desert patrol while trying to rob Moby Duck. It is unknown whether he is still in prison.

## Behind the scenes

Beghdad Kephath first appeared in *Mysterious Cargo to Istandupp* in 1968.
Belle Duck

**Belle Duck** is a female anthropomorphic duck.

## Description

Belle Duck is an old crush of Scrooge McDuck. She is a fat, tall and elegant lady. She always needs Scrooge's financial help to fix her riverboat.You can assume that Belle knows something really unconfessable about Scrooge's past, considering that he's a very, very stingy man and she can make him give money to her.

## Behind the scenes

She first appeared in 1967 in *Belle Corners The Coin Collection* created by Dick Kinney and Al Hubbard.
Bob (henchman)

## Bob

**Bob** is a diminutive human man.

## Description

A little man with a cap, thick glasses, baggy pants and a mustache, Bob (described by Inky as an "old scammer" and a "cheat") is a frequent henchman of Peg-Leg Pete, alongside Paul and Floyd. In 1997, having been arrested, Bob was at the Mouseton Police Department when the departure of Detective Casey and incoming arrival of Brick Boulder were announced; he broke out and carried the news to Pete. Bob then took part in Pete's scheme to discredit Casey and thus cancel his promotion, dressing up as a policeman in the Mouseton Museum to do so. The inevitable failure of the scheme landed him back in jail along with Pete, Paul and Floyd.

## Behind the scenes

Bob appears in the 1997 story *Chief Casey's Longest Night*.

Though this is probably a coincidence, Bob shares his name with a popular film "henchman", who is supervillain the Joker's lead goon in the 1989 *Batman* feature film. Both even wear spectacles which conceal their eyes.

Bob is also the name of one of *Longest Night* translator Joe Torcivia's relatives — namely, his brother; however, this is coincidental, as, unlike Paul and Floyd, Bob was not named by Torcivia and was already referred to as "Bob" in Tito Faraci's original script.
