All That Sparkles Is Not Concrete

First & only page of the story.

 ***All That Sparkles Is Not Concrete*** is a comic story written and drawn by Aristide Twain. It features Governor-105 and Mandragora-257, of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids.

## Plot

In Morningstar 1, Mandragora-257, the Governor's court alchemist, boasts that he has mastered one of the key skills of the accomplished alchemist: the transmutation of base metals into gold. The Governor, however, is unimpressed.

### Reference

* Mandragora boasts of having completed the Pure Elixir.

### Continuity

* This story serves as a prequel to *The Resurrection of the Wellsians* (2019), showing how the walls of the base Morningstar 1 came to be made of gold.
* After the previous comic, *Towering Success* (2019), it was the second entry in the regular Cupid comic strip to serve as a prequel to an existing story instead of implicitly taking place in the present day of the Cupids as depicted in the concurrently-released stories.

## Behind the scenes

*All That Sparkles Is Not Concrete* was released on November the 1st, 2019 on the *Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids* website.
A Goofy Movie

*This page needs work! You can help the Wiki by editing it.*

***A Goofy Movie*** is a film produced by Dan Rounds and directed by Kevin Lima. It features Goofy, Max Goofy, Roxanne, Stacey, Peg-Leg Pete, Pete Junior, Bobby Zimuruski, Powerline, Bigfoot, and others, including cameos by Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.

## Plot

Concerned about his son's behavior, Goofy decides to take his boy Max on a road trip from their home to Lake Destiny, Idaho. Meanwhile, Max has lied to his crush, Roxanne, about the trip, claiming that he is going to see the famous pop singer, Powerline. He struggles with this as he wonders if he should admit he lied or trick his dad into driving them to a Powerline concert in Los Angeles instead of Lake Destiny.

### References

* Walter P. Goofey and Benjamin Goofey were two members of Goofy's family who signed their names on map to Lake Destiny that Goofy and his father used.
* A calendar seen at a diner that Goofy and Max visit implies that the film takes place in June. Notably, the calendar shows only six days in a week and shows that there are 31 days in June.
* For "twelve or thirteen Goof generations" the Goof family has used a method known as the "perfect cast" while fishing.

## Behind the Scenes

*A Goofy Movie* was released in 1995.
Ambagesque

## Ambagesques

**Ambagesques** are a geometrical species found in the Euclidean Plane.

## Description

Ambagesques are the wild, feral beasts of the Euclidean Plane, feared by all right-thinking Geometrons unless the creatures are safely trapped in a zoo cage. They are known to coil themselves around, and strangle, people, much like Prime Universe anacondas.

## Behind the scenes

Ambagesques were mentioned in the 2019 written short story *Cupid Fact File No. 94 — The Euclidean Plane*.

They are named for the Latin word for "tangle".
Agnes McDuck

**Agnes McDuck** was a countess of Clan McDuck in the 2017 Continuum.

## Description

Agnes was well-known for putting down the Whiskerville Rebellion, and was honored with a massive statue in her likeness in Castle McDuck. This statue was later animated by the magic of the Blessed Bagpipe of Clan McDuck, and became involved in a squabble with the statues of Murdoch and Danny McDuck. However, the trio later put aside their feud upon discovering that their living descendants were being threatened by agents of F.O.W.L., only to be rendered inanimate once again.

## Behind the scenes

Agnes McDuck first appeared in the DuckTales 2017 episode *The Fight for Castle McDuck*, which first aired November 23, 2020. She was one of two new members of Clan McDuck-the other being Danny-to be introduced in the 2017 Continuum in the episode, never having appeared in any previous media.

## Behind the Scenes

### Index

***Animatronic Hook stories***

**Animatronic Hook** is a male animatronic and a replica of Captain James Hook.

## Description

An animatronic version of Captain Hook perpetually embedded in his replica of the *Jolly Roger*, Animatronic Hook was created by the Mad Doctor as a leader for a Wasteland-dwelling version of Mr Smee and the other Pirates of Tortooga, as well as an archenemy to satisfy's Pete Pan's delusions of being Peter Pan), in the days before the Thinner Disaster.

In 2010, the Mad Doctor had the Sprite captured, robbing Pete Pan of his ability to fly, and, thus, preventing him from foiling Hook. Since he was built as someone for Pete Pan to spar with, Hook went berserk from "withdrawal" of his daily fights with Pete Pan. The Doctor manipulated these feelings of rage to make the Captain use the Pirate Conversion Machine on his own crew, making them into mechanical minions for the Doctor, presumably by promising he would return Pete Pan's ability to fly if he did so. Ironically, the Doctor also entrusted the guard of the Sprite to Hook, who was apparently unaware of the creature's relationship with Pete's lost flight.

A short while after, during Mickey Mouse's first travel to Wasteland, he and Gremlin Gus encountered several pirates in Ventureland, where they had fled Animatronic Hook and their mechanized comrades. Mickey was later convinced to head to the Jolly Roger, where he battled Hook for a while, then freed the Sprite, who called Pete Pan for help. Hook and Pan returned to their friendly fights and order was restored.

At some point between 2010 and 2012 (date of Mickey's second trip to Wasteland), Animatronic Hook's pirates, along with Hook himself, were driven from Tortooga by Captain Blackbeard. In the process, Smee was separated from Animatronic Hook, and headed, disheartened, to Ventureland. Some time later however, Mickey Mouse stumbled upon an old costume of Hook's, which inspired Smee to shake off his depressed apathy and head off in search of his beloved boss.

## Behind the scenes

Animatronic Hook first appeared in *Epic Mickey*. He then appeared in various *Epic Mickey*-related media.
Air Feather Friends

A still from the episode.

***Air Feather Friends*** is a cartoon story, the first episode of Season 2 of the *Aladdin* TV series (and the first in production order). Written by Tad Stones and Brian Swenlin, it was directed by Toby Shelton and features Aladdin, the Genie, Iago, Razoul, the Magic Carpet, Abu, Abis Mal, Omar, Haroud Hazi Bin (in his intended debut, though the shuffled airing order compromised this), and, in their debut, the Rocs Mavis and her kid. *The Wizard of Oz*’s “Auntie Em” is referenced by the Genie.

## Plot

“Wind demons” have been ransacking Agrabah and leaving, literally like the wind, with perfect impunity! Aladdin, so convinced that they're just thieves under a clever glamor that he has bet Abu on it, sets out to prove he's right and stop the villains, with the help of Genie, Carpet and a reluctant Iago…

### References

* Baby Rocs' feathers can be magically used to control the winds, which the young birds use as emergency flight for as long as they need until they learn to fly for themselves.

## Behind the scenes

Released in 1994, *Air Feather Friends* was (according to its production code) created as the first episode of the *Aladdin* TV series following *The Return of Jafar*, its direct-to-video, feature-length pilot. However, eight episodes were aired months ahead of the rest of the series, as a short-lived “Season 1”, making *Air Feather Friends* the first episode of Season 2 in the release order.

The short's title is a pun on the phrase *Fair Weather Friends*.
30 Things With DuckTales

Title card.

***30 Things With DuckTales*** is a series of cartoon shorts, written by the *DuckTales 2017* Promos Department. It features Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, Webby Vanderquack, Della Duck, the Mythical Creature, the Beagle Boys, Donald Duck, Scrooge McDuck, the Chimera, Pixiu, the Vampire, two Loch Ness Monsters, Launchpad McQuack, Flintheart Glomgold, Duckworth and Mrs Beakley.

## Plot

In four little skits illustrated with amusing shots, Huey, Dewey, Louie and Webby each list off thirty things that define them (with the caveat that the ever-lazy Louie gives up at 27, thinking it's too much work).

## Behind the scenes

These shorts were used as promotion for *DuckTales 2017*, being released between the 1st and 8th of May, 2018 on the Disney Channel's YouTube channel.

The shorts appear to break the 4th wall, as each character introduces themselves as "[Character Name], from *DuckTales*".

Duckworth is depicted as his living self, rather than a ghost.
Argus Gimleteye

**Argus Gimleteye** is a male dognose.

## Description

Argus Gimleteye is a talented hypnotist. In 1947, as part of a publicity stunt, Gimleteye was hired by the radio station DDT Broadcasting to hypnotize a volunteer in the street. This volunteer happened to be Donald Duck, whom Gimleteye convinced he was actually a kangaroo. Unfortunately, Donald was more receptive to the treatment than even Gimleteye had foreseen, and began hopping away so fast that the radio people were unable to catch up with him and snap him out of it. By the time Donald got back to his sense on his own, he'd stowed away on a boat to Australia, desperate to come back to his "homeland".

## Behind the scenes

Argus Gimleteye was only ever seen in the 1947 story *Adventure Down Under*.
Ali Swan

**Emperor Ali Swan** is an anthropomorphic swan.

## Description

The middle-aged Ali Swan is the Emperor of the small foreign country of Alistan. Rather than an idle nobleman, Ali Swan is also a skilled businessman who serves as CEO of Alistan's most thriving industry, the culture and exportation of a special variety of avocados. Tricky if not outright villainous, Swan once sent Scrooge McDuck an elephant as a "gift", knowing full well that the capricious animal could only be fed with great quanitties of Swan's own avocados.

## Behind the scenes

Ali Swan only ever appeared in *The Costly Cat*.

In spite of the identical family name, it is unlikely that Ali Swan is related in any way to Janitor Swan, Cissy Swan or Susiebelle Swan.
A Series of Unfortunate Substitutions

First page of the story.

***A Series of Unfortunate Substitutions*** is a *DuckTales 2017* comic written by Joe Caramagna and drawn by Antonello Dalena, Gianfranco Florio, Manuela Razzi and Roberta Zanotta. It features the 2017 Continuum versions of Donald Duck, Dewey and Louie Duck, Scrooge McDuck, Bentina Beakley and Launchpad McQuack.

## Plot

After Launchpad McQuack injures himself in a crash after trying to fill in for a star pilot at an aerial acrobatics performance, Dewey Duck is desperate to learn how to fly a plane so that he can replace him! But Donald, stressed enough as it is with his need for a new job, isn't too keen on the idea, to say the least…

### Continuity

* The televised episode *Raiders of the Doomsday Vault* (2019) would see Della Duck teaching Dewey Duck to fly the *Sunchaser*.

## Behind the scenes

*A Series of Unfortunate Substitutions* was the second story in *IDW's DuckTales* #5.

Its title is a reference to the popular book series *A Series of Unfortunate Events*, by Daniel Handler, which, at the time of the story's release, was in the process of being adapted into a television series by Netflix. However, the plot of the story has very little in common with Handler's novels.
Another Christmas on Bear Mountain

First page of the story.

***Another Christmas on Bear Mountain*** (titled ***Un Altro Natale sul Monte Urso*** in the original Italian) is a comic story written by Tito Faraci, penciled by Giorgio Cavazzano and inked by Sandro Zemolin. It is a sequel to *Christmas on Bear Mountain* and features Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck and Uncle Claus, also mentioning Santa Claus.

## Plot

On Christmas Eve, Scrooge finds, among his various belongings, the old bear skin he used to try to scare his then-unknown nephew Donald Duck. This gets him to reminesce about how the way this evening went changed the course of his life, turning him from a bitter old miser into a nicer, softer but also less profit-oriented man. He suddenly meets Santa Claus's uncle, who explains that he quite agrees with him and has the same problem with his own wastrel nephew. He offers Scrooge to travel back in time to that fateful Chrismas and have another try to change his destiny…

## Behind the scenes

This story was first printed on the 25th of December, 2007 in the Italian *Topolino* #2717. It was printed in English in *Uncle Scrooge* #413. In this version, the script was slightly altered; most notably, Uncle Claus was referred to as "Grandfather Claus", a term meant to be a pun on the term "Grandfather Clause".
Aladdin

**Aladdin** is a human man.

## Description

Born in the ancient city of Agrabah, Aladdin lost his mother at a young age and never knew his father until they finally met in adulthood. Aladdin was forced to etch a living as a lowly thief, but always kept a good heart through hardships — a quality which made him suited to fulfill the "Diamond in the Rough" prophecy of the Cave of Wonders and retrieve the Magic Lamp containing a powerful genie. The manipulations of the sorcerer and Grand Vizier Jafar accidentally led to Aladdin getting the Lamp and befriending the Genie within, eventually using his third and final wish to selflessly set the Genie free, after exposing Jafar for the traitor he was and defeating him.

Now engaged to the princess of Agrabah, Jasmine, Aladdin had many adventures around the world along with Jasmine, his pet monkey Abu, the grumpy parrot Iago, the Genie, and a sentient Magic Carpet. After reuniting with his father, Cassime, the "King of Thieves", Aladdin finally married Jasmine, though they had more adventures later on.

It appears that at some point after all these events (which happened in ancient times), the whole city of Agrabah was "temporally displaced" to the 21st century, presumably the doing of the Genie. In this period, Aladdin frequently attended the House of Mouse along with Jasmine and even a resurrected Jafar.

## Behind the scenes

Though he had been mentioned several times previously (being a popular fairy tale figure), Aladdin first appeared as a character in the 1992 film *Aladdin*.

### Voice Actors

* Scott Weinger (classic voice actor since *Aladdin*)
* Brad Kane (singing voice in *Aladdin*)
* Rick Logan (*Mickey's Magical Christmas*)
* Adam Jacobs (*Aladdin: The Musical*)
Anatidae

A fanmade rendition of the planet.

**Anatidæ** (***Duck*** in the original Italian) is a planet located near the egde of the universe, in the Goosedown Galaxy.

## Description

This friendly planet in the Goosedown Galaxy is inhabited by an equally friendly, very advanced species of duck-like humanoids, the Anatidians, known for using their Flywheels to tour the universe and see the sights.

## Behind the scenes

Anatidae is mentioned in the 1981 story *The Case of the Circulating Saucer*.
Abril's Duck Family Tree

**Abril's Duck Family Tree** is a version of the Duck Family Tree published by the Brazilian Disney comics publisher Abril. Written by Leo Pires, illustrated by Yasmin Ayumi and edited by Felipe van Deursen, it features Cornelius Coot, Clinton Coot, Gertrude Gadwall, Gretchen Grebe, Humperdink Duck, Elvira Duck, Casey Coot, Cuthbert Coot, Fanny Coot, Luke Goose, Eider Duck, Lulubelle Loon, Daphne Duck, Gus Goose, Whitewater Duck, Fethry Duck, Molly Mallard, Titus McDuck, Quagmire McDuck, Angus McDuck, Jake McDuck, Fergus McDuck, Downy O'Drake, Goosetave Gander, Quackmore Duck, Hortense McDuck, Matilda McDuck, Scrooge McDuck, Gladstone Gander, Daisy Duck, Donald Duck, Della Duck, Mr Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck and, as "friends of the family", April, May and June and Gyro Gearloose. Donna Duck is mentioned in explanatory text.

## Description

Although seemingly inspired by Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree, this version of the Duck Family Tree makes numerous changes to it, coming to its own, quite surprising conclusions.

Most startlingly, the tree holds that Grandpa Humperdink from *The Good Old Daze* is not actually Grandma Duck's husband and Donald Duck's grandfather as usually reckoned, but instead Elvira's brother and Donald's great-uncle. In this version, this Humperdink Coot is in fact the husband of Gretchen Grebe and father of Fanny Coot and Cuthbert Coot.

Grandma's husband and Donald Duck's paternal grandfather is instead Casey, even though all other sources agree that Casey was Elvira's brother.

In its third and final idiosyncrasy, the tree also shows Gladstone Gander's father Goosetave to have been the son of Elvira and a blood uncle of Donald Duck's, while it is Gladstone's mother Daphne who marries into the Duck family. This is the opposite of what is presented in Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree, where Daphne Duck is Elvira's daughter and Goosetave Gander her husband.

## Behind the scenes

This unusual take on the Duck Family Tree was published by Abril, but not in one of their Disney publications; instead, it was one of the "pop culture features" in the magazine *Super Interessante* #395-A, which bore the title *Edição Especial Mundo Estranho*. It has not, to date, been printed in English.
Adelaide

**Adelaide** is presumably a female anthropomorphic dog.

## Description

Adelaide is an aunt of Goofy (either on his father or mother's side). She owned an antique coffee grinder. For reasons unknown, Goofy owned a projector slide of that coffee grinder, which he mixed up with his windmill slides at a "lecture" he gave on the history of mills.

## Behind the scenes

Aunt Adelaide was mentioned in the 1987 story *A Goofy Look at Mills*.
Akers McCovet

**Akers McCovet** is an anthropomorphic dog.

## Description

Akers McCovet is a slimy crook specializing in fraudulously getting his oily hands on real estate. When Scrooge McDuck, abusing a legal loophole, declared Killmotor Hill and his Money Bin an independant nation, McCovet realized that Scrooge's fortune was no longer protected by American laws, and the police wouldn't intervene; the very land he could seize from Scrooge, since the old duck hadn't even bothered to write laws of his own. Therefore, McCovet hired the Beagle Boys as a miniature army and took over McDuckland. However, the Beagle Boys were eventually defeated by Huey, Dewey and Louie; without his minions, Akers was defenseless, and after a quick swordfight with Scrooge, he was forced to give up the crown and thrown out of McDuckland.

## Behind the scenes

Akers McCovet first appeared in May of 1989 in *His Majesty, McDuck*. He was meant to appear in *The Lost Charts of Columbus*, but was cut from the story. In the original script, he was meant to get ahold of Hui-shen's wheel, and be a third claimant to America.
6-18

**6-18** is an anthropomorphic dog of unknown gender.

## Description

A cousin of 47-521, 6-18 was one of the hundreds of Beagle Boys who swarmed Duckburg when they heard tell that their local relatives had finally taken control of Scrooge McDuck's fortune, wanting to get a piece of the pie.

## Behind the scenes

6-18 is mentioned in the 1975 comic story *Scrooge For A Day*. They are presumably one of the background Beagles seen later in the story, but which one is unknown.
Animatronic Croc

## The Animatronic Croc

The **Animatronic Croc** is an animatronic and a replica of the Tick-Tock Crocodile.

## Description

An animatronic version of Neverland's Tick-Tock Crocodile created by the Mad Doctor to complete the set of Pete Pan and Animatronic Hook, the Animatronic Croc shares its original's unending hunger for Captain Hook, and it somehow possesses the capability to eat Animatronic Hook should it get the opportunity to do so. Like the real Tick-Tock Croc, the Animatronic Croc is usually found lurking near its version of Hook's *Jolly Roger*.

## Behind the scenes

The Animatronic Croc first appeared in *Epic Mickey*.
A Big Bust

First page of the story.

***A Big Bust*** is a comic story written by an unknown writer and drawn by Dick Moores. It features Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, Gladstone Gander, Tooloose Laveck, John D. Morganfellow and Thaddeus Van Astorbow.

## Plot

Upset that there is no portrait or statue of him in the "World's Richest Men" room of the Duckburg Hall of Fame, Scrooge tries to get a portrait of himself painted by French artist Tooloose Laveck. Discovering that professional artists charge very high for their work, he opens a contest instead, offering a free trip to Paris to the winner, hoping that the sum of all the $1 participation fees will be enough to pay for the trip of the winner. Unfortunately, only Gladstone and Donald enter the contest…

## Behind the scenes

This story was only ever published in English in the 1954 *Donald Duck* #33.
Aqua-Pills

The Aqua-Pills and a dog on whom Gyro had tested them.

**Aqua-Pills** are pills invented by Gyro Gearloose.

## Description

Aqua-Pills are pills which allow whoever swallows them to begin breathing water instead of air. They were created by Gyro Gearloose, who hadn't finished testing them (specifically, how long a single pill would last a small dog) when Donald Duck swallowed the full jar in the hope that it would help him find sunken treasure. The Pills ended up forcing him to leave under the sea for several weeks or more.

## Behind the scenes

The Aqua-Pills are central to the events of the 2003 story *Merman Donald*.
Antzilla

**Antzilla** is a male anteater-like monster.

## Description

Antzilla is a green humanoid anteater who shares the real creature's fondness for eating termites (whom he loves for being “juicy, yet crunchy”). Aside from his anteater features and strange coloration, Antzilla gives the impression of a scrawny, middle-aged, somewhat neurotic little man; yet despite not being particularly threatening, Antzilla is recognized as one of the worldwide self-declared monsters who stay in such haunts as Halloween Town and the Hotel Transylvania. In 2004, during his stay at the latter, he was mistakenly served a human-like menu, an error only corrected by resourceful concierge Donald Duck. As a result of his gratitude, he was among the monsters who stood up for Donald when the manager threatened to fire him.

## Behind the scenes

Antzilla first appeared in 2004 in *Hotel Transylvania*.

His name is transparently based on notorious movie monster Godzilla, though he has no further similarities to Godzilla (beyond, arguably, his green color).

Like many monsters who stayed at (or worked for) the Hotel Transylvania, it is possible that Antzilla originally came from the X-Dimension, rather than being native to Earth.
54-671

**54-671** is a male anthropomorphic dog.

## Description

A cousin of the Duckburg trio of Beagle Boys, the heavy-set cap-wearing 54-671 was among relatives who came to visit the Duckburg trio upon learning they had taken control of Scrooge McDuck's fortune. The gluttonous-looking Beagle insisted that he was only asking for "a small million".

## Behind the scenes

54-671 appears in the 1975 comic story *Scrooge For A Day*.

A Pete Scorned

***A Pete Scorned*** is a cartoon written by Darrick Bachman, Paul Rudish and David Wasson, and directed by Rudish and Wasson. It features Mickey Mouse, Peg-Leg Pete and Mortimer Mouse.

## Description

As Mortimer Mouse begins to bully Mickey Mouse more and more often, Peg-Leg Pete becomes strangely upset to have seemingly lost his status as Mickey's most hated enemy…

A Slight Misunderstanding

***A Slight Misunderstanding*** is a comic strip written and drawn by Aristide Twain. It features, in their debuts, the Triangular Society (presumably including Larrikin-1029, Conspiracy-1263, Robespierre-1665 and Gaius-816) and its leader Conquest-932.

## Description

A secret society within the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids meets for the very first time — and it seems its leader needs to clarify a few points…

### Continuity

* The Triangular Society reappears in two further comic strips — *Suspicious* (2019) and *Professional Endorsement* (2019) — as well as in the prose story *The Trial of a Dark Lord* (2020), which reveals the identities of the other members than Conquest and depicts the destruction of the building in which *A Slight Misunderstanding* is set, revealed to be Conquest's shed.
* In light of the identities revealed in that story, the Cupid who asks about apple-bobbing, being a Mark 17, is presumably Robespierre-1665, while the Cupid rightmost in the second panel is identifiable as Larrikin-1029. With Conspiracy-1263 being visualized differently in *Cupid Courier No. 1034* (2019), this leaves the remaining visible Cupid in *A Slight Misunderstanding* as Gaius-815.

## Behind the scenes

This comic strip, the eighth regular comic-strip to feature the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids, was released on the *Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids* website.

The comic uses a red variant of the *The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids* logo.
Alexander Graham Bell's Cousin

**Alexander Graham Bell's Cousin** was presumably an anthropomorphic dog.

## Description

## Behind the scenes

Alexander Graham Bell's Cousin is mentioned in the 1990 story *The Story of Alexander Goofy Bell*.
Ars Goetia Revised Edition

The ***Ars Goetia* Revised Edition** is a tome of demonological lore.

## Description

An edition of the *Ars Goetia* Revised Edition existed in the Duckburg Library's occult section by 2017, when it was picked up by Magica De Spell (with the help of a reluctant Gladstone Gander) in an effort to dismiss the stork demon Shax, whom Magica had accidentally angered after summoning him.

### Contents

The book explains, among other things, that “the only thing a demon respects is power. If your summon evades the confines of your magic triangle, employ all available energies into a show of force using one of the following incantations”, then listing a series of incantations some of which Magica considered to be easy.

The book also contains a glossary of witchcraft vocabulary; it defines “Wand” as "a passive conductor for supernatural forces — a catalyst for specific magical energies and spells" which "may be used to channel or amplify powers by those trained or otherwise gifted in the arts of sorcery"; it is "most commonly a wooden stick or rod, but it may take any number of forms". The entry advises the reader cross-reference it with other entries in the glossary, Staff, Umbrastaff, Sonic Screwdriver.)

## Behind the scenes

The *Ars Goetia Revised Edition* is a nod to the real-life *Ars Goetia*, one of the books of *The Lesser Key of Solomon* (a 17th-century grimoire) and one of the most notorious historical sources about the practice of occultism and demonology in Europe. Shax and Andras, the two demons whom Magica summons in 2017's *A Kind of Magic* (the story which mentions the *Ars Goetia Revised Edition*), are parodies of the demons of the same name who appear in the real-life *Ars Goetia*.
Amador Guerrero

## Description

In 1909, Amador Guerrero was the President of Panama. When Theodore Roosevelt visited the site of the digging of the Panama Canal, General Esteban assured the American potentate that Guerrero was "honored" of Roosevelt's visit to Panama. The ever-canny Roosevelt answered with a question of whether Esteban himself shared the friendly sentiment.

## Behind the scenes

   Stevens makes a brief appearance in the 2001 *The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck* bonus chapter *The Sharpie of the Culebra Cut*. He is based on the historical figure of President Manuel Amador Guerrero, who was indeed the first president of independent Panama and on good terms with President Roosevelt.
Amadeo-378

**Amadeo-378** is a Clockwork Cherub.

## Description

A Mark 4 member of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids, Amadeo-378 is a celebrity on the Cupid Homeworld, due to having made the great "breakthrough" in strategy against the Gang of the Green Gorilla: that it is entirely possible to knock down a Gorilla with physical violence, and only *then* dose him with love potion, without violating the Cupid ethos in the process. Amadeo was later awarded membership of the Order of Aphrodite as commendation for his heroics; according to the Green Gorillas' file in the Cupid Archives, his ability to think outside the box has been attributed to his gemstone heart being a five-point diamond, as opposed to the more common rose quartz.

## Behind the scenes

Amadeo-378 was introduced in the 2019 short story *Cupid Fact File No. 177 — The Green Gorillas*.
A Walt Disney Surprise!

## Description

Broadcasting from the home of the human fan who has kindly allowed him to borrow his webcam, the Ghost Host reveals the appearance he will take from now on in his appearances on the *Show*, one similar (though not identical) to his skeletal corpse in the Stretching Room.

### References

* The Ghost Host's skeletal form is reduced to just a torso for the moment, as he had a "bit of an accident" when cutting himself off the rafters last time and accidentally split himself in half. He is seen discarding one of his severed skeletal legs.

## Behind the scenes

*A “Grave” New Look* was the fifth episode of Season 1 of *The Haunted Mansion Show*. It was released on YouTube on Nick Barbera's own YouTube channel like the rest of Season 1.

It was the first appearance of the Ghost Host puppet that later became the default for the series in Season 2, although within Season 1, this was not the last of a live Ghost Host played in the flesh by Barbera. The episode also provides a justification for any time that Barbera, in his role as puppeteer, is accidentally glimpsed on-frame, as it establishes that a version of him exists in-universe and is the owner of the webcam that the Host uses to create the *Haunted Mansion Show*.
A Christmas for Shacktown

***A Christmas for Shacktown*** is a comic story written and drawn by Carl Barks. It features Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck, Gladstone Gander, Daisy Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck and (as a picture and a disguise) Jake McDuck.

## Plot

It's almost Christmas. Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck and Daisy Duck's charity decide to offer a real merry Christmas to the children of the poorest neighborhood of Duckburg, Shacktown. They quickly determine that they need fifty dollars for a toy train and a turkey. Scrooge McDuck, from whom they want to borrow the fifty dollars, immediately throws a fit and informs them that he'll play 25 dollars for the *turkey*, but will not give a single cent for something so "useless" as a toy train. Moreover, he will only give them the 25 dollars if they manage to gather the other half of the sum on their own. Be it thanks to Cousin Gladstone's luck or to Donald's repeated attempts to con the missing 25 dollars out of Scrooge himself, all the cast do their best to find the money.

### Continuity

* *The Great Toboggan Race* (2016) reused the setting of Shacktown and established that the Umble Kids, from Carl Barks's earlier story *The Snowman Contest* (1950), are among its residents.
* The story-long flashback of *Gyro's First Invention* (2002) is a direct sequel to the events of *A Christmas for Shacktown*, offering an explanation for how Scrooge McDuck regained his money. The story also suggests that *Statuesque Spendthrifts* (1952), actually released shortly after *A Christmas for Shacktown*, took place slightly before it.
* *Under Siege!* (2017) once more has Scrooge's fortune begin to sink into the ground (though for a different reason) immediately after Scrooge throws in one last coin, causing him to mutter that it couldn't possibly be "like that time when—", clearly trying to allude to the events of *A Christmas for Shacktown*.

## Behind the scenes

This story was first printed in 1952 in *One Shot* #367. It was then reprinted in *Walt Disney's Christmas Parade* #2, *Walt Disney's Christmas Parade* #8, *Best Comic Series* #1, *Walt Disney's Comic Treasury* #1, *Gladstone Comic Album* #25, *Donald Duck Adventures* #30, *Uncle Scrooge* #336, *Walt Disney's Comics in Color 2nd Series* #4, and, of course, in the *Carl Barks Library.*

As Scrooge McDuck loses all of his fortune at the end of the story without any obvious way he could get it back, Don Rosa later created a sequel to the story called *Gyro's First Invention* to explain how he retrieved his beloved money.
Aluminati Charm School

Magica De Spell and Gladstone Gandre arriving at Aluminati Charm School.

 **Aluminati Charm School** is a magic school located near Salem.

## Description

Aluminati Charm School, whose impossible-looking, fortress-like building has existed for untold eons, is one of the witch schools in which a younger Magica De Spell pursed a magical education. The Dean of the School wields an artifact known as the Staff of Authority; the position was, in Magica's day, managed by the easygoing Dean Petunia, who would later retire in 2020, leaving her seat to the sterner Meredith Barksure. The School is located near the city of Salem, hidden from the non-magical locals by a “visual deterrence field”.

Alumni of the Charm School are invited yearly to the “Annual Aluminati Alumni Ball”, whose famous opening dance is the Wiccanical Waltz, although Magica never attended until 2020, when she received a letter from her old friend Sier (the caretaker of the school) bidding her to come to investigate worrisome rumors. During the ensuing adventure, Magica discovered that this was actually a trap laid by Sier, who was in fact the Goddess of Discord, Eris, in human form. With the help of Gladstone Gander, Magica explored the mythical catacombs below the School, and eventually trapped Eris there after figuring out the truth.

## Behind the scenes

The Aluminati Charm School was first mentioned in 2018 in the unofficial Sarah Jolley comic story *The Cat Came Back*, later becoming the main setting of the 2020 story *Hidden Potential*.
Archibald Fishflipper

**Archibald Fishflipper** is a man of unknown species.

## Description

Implicitly a former member of the Horde of the Violet Hare who was let go of and had his memory partially wiped, like so many others, Archibald Fishflipper ended up founding the Faction of the Fooling Fish. By 2011, other members of the Faction spoke of him with uncharacteristic reverence.

## Behind the scenes

Archibald Fishflipper is mentioned in the 2019 short story *Cupid Fact File No. 444 — The Faction of the Fooling Fish*.
A Little Child Shall Lead Them

***A Little Child Shall Lead Them***, also printed as ***Escape Goat***, is a comic story written by Homer Brightman and drawn by Al Taliaferro; it features Donald Duck.

## Plot

Donald Duck, who is mountain-climbing, comes face-to-face with a large mountain goat. Surprised that the animal flees before him instead of attacking, Donald decides to have some fun with it and chase the poor creature to its den. Unfortunately, once there, he finds not all goats are that passive.

## Behind the scenes

This story was first printed in February of 1938 in various American newspapers. It was later reprinted in *Mickey Mouse Magazine* #60, *Marcia Blitz's Donald Duck* #1, *Donald Duck Adventures* #4 (under the title *Escape Goat*, a pun on "scapegoat"), *Donald Duck* #284, and *Donald Duck: The Complete Daily Newspaper Comics* #1.

Main Characters

Main Villains

Enjoy your stay!
Alice's Mother

**Alice's Mother** is or was a human woman.

## Description

This black-haired woman was Alice's mother. A no-nonsense housewife, she always made sure that Alice was well-behaved. However, she was a good woman at heart. What became of her after 1927 is unknown.

## Behind the scenes

This character debuted in 1923 in the *Alice Comedies* prototype *Alice's Wonderland*, and appeared in several more of the same series. She was played by Margaret Davis, who was actually the aunt of the actress playing Alice, Virginia Davis.
Anderson

**Anderson** was an individual of unknown gender.

## Description

According to a story once told by the Ghost Host, a book by Anderson was among the volumes in the bookcase in architects Mr Davis and Mr Coats's study as they got to work designing Gracey Manor. A book by Sklar was stacked unstably on top of it.

## Behind the scenes

Sklar's name appears in the 2005 story *Blueprint for Murder*. Like all the names of authors in the story, it is an allusion to one of the Imagineers responsible for designing *The Haunted Mansion* in the real world — in this case, Ken Anderson.

Notably, in 2011, an epitaph was added in Walt Disney World's *Haunted Mansion* also paying tribute to Ken Anderson, as it referred to “Our Friend Ken”. However, there exists no in-universe link between the two glimpsed names.
At the Comic Convention

* Part 1
* Part 2

***At the Comic Convention*** is a possible title for a series of two covers which tell a story, created by Derek Charm. It features Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, Horace Horsecollar, Gladstone Gander, a Beagle Boy, the Phantom Blot, Daisy Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie, Peg-Leg Pete, Scrooge McDuck, Fethry Duck, Gus Goose, Flintheart Glomgold, Panchito Pistoles, Moby Duck, Detective Casey, Chief O'Hara, Pluto, and Mr Slicker.

## Description

At a comic convention, Donald is pleased to find a comic book about him, and in "very good" condition. He is, however, less pleased when a comic book about Mickey Mouse turns up, and in "mint" condition, no less!

## Behind the scenes

*At the Comic Convention* was first published in 2015 as the covers of *Donald Duck* #368 and *Mickey Mouse* #310 (parts one and two, respectively). Unlike most covers, it tells an original story.
An Uncivilized Relative

***An Uncivilized Relative*** is a comic strip written by Roy Williams and drawn by Julius Svendsen. It features Minnie Mouse.

## Plot

Minnie Mouse, while playing the piano, is spooked by a non-anthropomorphic mouse and has a rather imaginative reaction.

## Behind the scenes

This comic strip was printed on February the 20th, 1960 in various American newspapers. It was reprinted in *Color Sundays* #2 as a sample of Julius Svendsen's work, with David Gerstein describing the comic as “Minnie meets an uncivilized relative”, a wording from which the title used on this Wiki was a derived.
Alexander McPherson

**Alexander McPherson** is an American actor.

## Career

Alexander McPherson has played numerous parts in period films and series, notably playing Alexander Hamilton in the television series *Legends and Lies* and Saint Francis of Assissi in the documentary film *The Sultan and the Sain*. As concerns this Wiki, he played the Carnie, the main antagonist of *A Hitchhiker's Tale* (2016).
Arm Restling

First page of the story

 ***Arm Restling*** is an unofficial silent comic story written and drawn by Sarah Jolley. It features Scrooge McDuck and Donald Duck.

## Description

While on a plane, Scrooge and Donald realize that they both want the armrest between their seats. But which of the pair will get it?

## Behind the scenes

This story is one of a series of unofficial homages to the characters written and drawn by Sarah Jolley (author of the acclaimed comic *The Property of Hate*). It was released in 2017 for free on the Internet.
Adolphe Max's Dog

**Adolphe Max's Dog** is or was a male dog.

## Description

This scruffy little brown dog was the beloved pet of Brussels mayor Adolphe Max in 1938. He had a tendency to go around stealing food from kitchens, once filching a roast chicken from the Moustic Hotel.

## Behind the scenes

Adolphe Max's Dog appears in the 1938 comic *Spirou the Diplomat*. Being a *Spirou* character, he does not belong to the Walt Disney Company, although *Spirou* is considered canon on this wiki.
Amour-159

**Amour-159** is a Clockwork Cherub.

## Description

A Mark 2 member of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids, Amour-159 is a Collector Cupid, of the Cupid Tax Department. He added an appendix to the Cupid Archives' documentation of the high deeds of Amadeo-378 noting that physical violence should be limited to Green Gorillas, as opposed to Cupid tax collectors just trying to do their jobs, which suggests he suffered the consequence of a reluctant Cupid doing exactly that some time prior.

## Behind the scenes

Amour-159 was introduced in the 2019 short story *Cupid Fact File No. 177 — The Green Gorillas*.
Afghoristan

**Afghoristan** is a foreign country.

## Description

Presumably located somewhere near Afghanistan, Afghoristan is an obscure country where Scrooge McDuck owns some ruby mines. In 1962, he travelled to Afghoristan in order to inspect said mines.

## Behind the scenes

Afghoristan was only ever seen in the 1962 story *Having a Panic*.

Though the name likely implies Afghoristan is a whimsical counterpart to the real-life country of Afghanistan, other sources show that a genuine Afghanistan also exists in the Disney comics universe. This makes the matter akin to Brutopia's relationship with Russia.
Al Aggrand

**Al Aggrand** is an anthropomorphic bear.

## Description

A short and bouncy little man always sniffing out for a new opportunity, smiley-faced Al Aggrand is an agent, impresario and talent hound from Mouseton. In 2002, he tried to make Mickey Mouse (rendered inordinately bold by Doctor Manfred Meek's courage serum) into a celebrity daredevil, organizing a spectacular stunt (getting himself shot by a cannon across a ravine) the very next day after getting him to sign a contract with him. Naturally, of course, Mickey terminated the arrangement after regaining his senses, and to his credit, Aggrand didn't press him further.

## Behind the scenes

All Aggrand appears in the 2002 story *Dr Jekyll and Mr Mouse*.
100-Year Penny

The 100-Year Penny.

The **100-Year Penny** was a coin issued thousands of years before 1965 by the ancient monarch Prince Petra.

## Description

After Scrooge McDuck and Donald Duck's interference with ancient history aboard the B.C. Buggy caused the conflict between Petras and Salamander City not to have resulted in the early annihilation of Petras by Salamander City, Prince Petra of Petras issued at least one 100-Year Penny to commemorate the occasion. This priceless silver coin found its way to the Duckburg Museum of Ancient Stuff by 1965, replacing the Battle of Petras Penny which had ceased to exist alongside the Battle itself. Though the Museum's Penny was the only one of its kind to have been found by modern archeologists, it is not impossible that many more identical Pennies had been created at the time.

## Behind the scenes

The 100-Year Penny appears at the end of the 1965 comic story *Battle of Petras*.
