Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree

***Donald Duck Family Tree***, later reprinted as ***The Duck Family Tree***, and best-known as **Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree**, is Don Rosa's most notorious version of the Duck Family Tree, done in the form of a large illustration. It features Sir Stuft McDuck, Sir Swamphole McDuck, Sir Eider McDuck, Sir Quackly McDuck, Malcolm McDuck, Seafoam McDuck, Sir Roast McDuck, Molly Mallard, Titus McDuck, Quagmire McDuck, Angus McDuck, Jake McDuck, Fergus McDuck, Downy O'Drake, Matilda McDuck, Scrooge McDuck, Hortense McDuck, Quackmore Duck, Della Duck, Donald Duck, Mr Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, Goosetave Gander, Pintail Duck, Humperdink Duck, Elvira Duck, Daphne Duck, Gladstone Gander, Lulubelle Loon, Eider Duck, Fethry Duck, Whitewater Duck, Clinton Coot, Gertrude Gadwall, Fanny Coot, Luke Goose, Gus Goose, Gretchen Grebe, Cuthbert Coot and Cornelius Coot, and, as “friends of the family”, Daisy Duck, April, May and June and Gyro Gearloose.

## Description

This version of the Duck family tree, including nearly all of the Duck relatives and created by Carl Barks (with the exception of Susiebelle Swan and Mehitabel Mudhen), features three main "trunks": the Clan McDuck, the Duck Family proper, and the Coot Kin. Inspired by Carl Barks's second Duck Family Tree and Mark Worden's Duck Family Tree, it incorporates characters from the latter while using the family relations from the former, with the additional change that Gus Goose's mother Fanny is, to Rosa, a niece of Elvira Duck rather than a daughter of hers.

Due to publisher interference, Fethry Duck was added to the tree despite Rosa's unwillingness to include Fethry's existence in his headcanon, while Ludwig von Drake was instead absent.

Rosa created two other Duck Family Trees. Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree Sketch is the first draft of what would become the present tree, also including birth dates and a few more characters and thoughts. Don Rosa's second Duck Family Tree is a remake of the tree, sold as a print at conventions, where Ludwig von Drake is present as Matilda McDuck's husband and Mr Duck's face is not obscured (although his name remains blank).

Additionally, Michel Nadorp's Duck Family Tree, Chris Moreno's Duck Family Tree, and *Donald Duck's Big Family* are all close remakes of Rosa's tree with a few details altered.

## Behind the scenes

Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree was released in July of 1993. In English, it was made available in *Walt Disney's Comics and Stories* #600, in the various collected editions of *The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck* and in the *Don Rosa Library*.

Disneystrology

***Disneystrology*** is a Disney book written by Lisa Finander.

## Description

*Disneystrology* is an astrologico-numerological book for children, matching a Disney character and their birthday to each day of the year, and claiming that a child sharing a birthday with the character may be a clue to their personality by comparing it to the character's personality. Each day is illustrated with a still of the character.

## Behind the scenes

*Disneystrology* was published by Quirk Books in 2010. It is considered a semi-canonical source for characters' birthdays.
Donald Duck (Feudarnia)

**Donald Duck** is an anthropomorphic duck and Feudarnia's counterpart to Donald Duck.

## Description

After accruing a large amount of debt owed to Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck was forced to work in Scrooge's castle on Duckburgh, polishing his money, while raising his nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck. However, when the Beagle Boys attacked Scrooge's auxiliary Money Bin, Mossy Mouflon Manor, using Meteorbeasts, Scrooge gave Donald a chance to show his skill as a Beastbuster. Donald rented a rickety old Busterbot and set off, with his nephews, to fight the Beagles. While at the Manor, Donald met the legendary Beastbuster Mickey Mouse, who entrusted him with the Magnus Malleus, a magical hammer made with a sliver of Dragonite, and told him to take it to the Magicianeer Gyro Gearloose, as it could be used as a weapon against the Meteorbeasts when put together with the Trembling Anvil, which Gyro was creating. After a long series of mishaps and misadventures, Donald eventually got the hammer to its destination, where he helped use it to defeat the Meteorbeasts and Meteormaster Blot once and for all. Donald later went to celebrate at the Broken-Antler Tavern with his team, only to have Scrooge McDuck warn him of a gold-eating dragon coming their way, prompting him to comment that Feudarnia may not be quite safe just yet.

## Behind the scenes

This version of Donald Duck first appeared in *Donald Quest* in 2016.
Didn't Close His Car Door

***Didn't Close His Car Door*** is INDUCKS's pseudo-title for a comic one-pager written by Bill Walsh, penciled by Floyd Gottfredson and inked by Dick Moores. It features Mickey Mouse and Morty Fieldmouse.

## Plot

Don de Pato

**Don Dugo de Pato** was a male anthropomorphic duck.

## Description

Don Dugo de Pato, a Spanish ancestor of Donald Duck (through the Coot side of the family), was a member of the Spanish Armada in the 1500s, and was in command of a Spanish treasure galleon sailing from the "New World" full of gold. Don, wanting to impress the king, had the ship plated in gold, however, this excess weight caused it to sink. Don escaped on a barrel, and noted the ship's position in his log.

Afterward, Don was cast off from the Armada, and moved to Scotland, where he married an ancestor of Scrooge McDuck. Soon afterward, Don met Caballero Carioca and Caballero Gonzalez. Together, the three called themselves the Three Caballeros, and, along with the goddess Xandra, who they had discovered trapped in a magical atlas, traveled the world, defeating the evil of Lord Felldrake. Eventually, they met Felldrake in battle and managed to trap him in his staff using their magical amulets. What became of them afterward is unknown. But what is known is that after their battle with Felldrake, the Caballeros and Xandra traveled the world to undo all of Felldrake’s mess and to find a way to free Xandra from her book. One of their quest involved creating a secret society to guard a gem called the Spark of Life. However in one of their dangerous adventures, Xandra’s atlas closed and both her and the book were lost to the Caballeros. Due to going on other missions to undo Felldrake's mess, The Caballeros didn't find Xandra's atlas until a great age. Due to being too old they placed it in a temple where it remained until Clinton Coot found it. Their descendants, Donald Duck, José Carioca, and Panchito Pistoles, would later take up the mantle of the Three Caballeros

## Behind the scenes

The character first appeared as Don de Pato in *The Golden Galleon* in 1965. He later appeared in two German Duck family trees. Don made his re-appearance in *Legend of the Three Caballeros* in 2018, this time referred to using his German name, Don Dugo.

*Legend* establishes that Don de Pato was also an ancestor of Clinton Coot, with Chris Moreno's Duck Family Tree confirming that this is through the Coot rather than Gadwall family.
Dinner Date

First page of the story.

***Dinner Date*** is a comic story written by an unknown writer and drawn by Bob Gregory. It features Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Mr Gearloose and Gearloose's Partner.

## Description

Upset that her boyfriend Donald can't afford to take her to dinner at a fancy restaurant, Daisy attempts to get Donald a job as a product-tester in Ladyfair Cosmetics, the company she has herself been working for. Donald finds himself a guinea pig for Mr Gearloose and another chemist, who test various unpleasant novelties on him. As if things couldn't get any weirder, an accidental mixing of formulas turns into a love potion that quickly makes Donald the center of attention of all the ladies in Duckburg's city park…

## Behind the scenes

This story was first published in May of 1973 in *Daisy and Donald* #1. It was only ever reprinted in *Daisy and Donald* #32. It was also printed in English in the Australian *Giant* #571.

On top of being the first story of the first issue of the *Daisy and Donald* title, this tale is notable for featuring an anonymous chemist resembling Gyro Gearloose, who is assumed by most to actually be Gyro's younger brother, father of Newton Gearloose.
Doctor Superthink

**Doctor Superthink** is a male dognose.

## Description

A genius biologist for Duckburg, jovial and mild-mannered Dr Superthink was hired in 1953 by Scrooge McDuck to create an artificial monster resembling a will-o-the-wisp, which Scrooge pictured as "horrible, slithering something carrying a lantern". With the help of Donald Duck and his nephews, Superthink succeeded in creating such a creature, through splicing mold spores with extracts of marsh gas and growing the result inside a vacuum. The wisp, however, turned out to be a friendly creature fond of eating mold and tule roots, whom the Ducks dubbed Wispy Willie and befriended.

## Behind the scenes

Doctor Superthink only ever appeared in the 1953 story *Wispy Willie*.
Donald Duck's Debut

**Donald Duck's Debut** (real title unknown) was an audio story of unknown authorship. An episode of the *Hall of Fame* radio series, it is currently unavailable to the public.

It featured Mickey Mouse, likely other characters, and, most importantly, the true debut of Donald Duck, broadcast in March of 1934, a few months before the release of *The Wise Little Hen*. According to David Gerstein, it was correctly referred to as Donald's debut for the first two years of the character's existence but quickly faded from public memory, although it is still mentioned in the 1975 article *Allo Donald!*.

## Plot

Mickey Mouse and his friends have been asked to do a radio broadcast, and Mickey agrees to do so. It doesn't take long for Donald Duck to decide to get the spotlight on him, constantly butting in on the broadcast so he can recite *Mary Had a Little Lamb*, causing much trouble for poor Mickey.

Dickens's Christmas Carol

Cover of the record

(as the Narrator, Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Merlin, Willie the Giant)

## Other Information

### Dates

1976 (release date)

***Dickens's Christmas Carol*** (***Le Conte de Noël de Dickens*** in the original French) is an audio story, a French remake of *An Adaptation of Dickens' Christmas Carol*. Like the original, it features Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Willie the Giant, John Foulfellow, Gideon, Grimhilde, Daisy Duck, Minnie Mouse, Morty and Ferdie Fieldmouse, Merlin and Goofy. This version also features a Narrator separate from Scrooge, who reads the introduction, and explicitly mentions Snow White and Charles Dickens in said introduction.

## Plot

A theatrical adaptation of Dickens' *Christmas Carol* narrated by Scrooge McDuck (naturally playing Ebenezer Scrooge), with the "Walt Disney Players" (a makeshift troupe of Disney characters) playing the different parts.

### Songs

* *The Only Thing That Counts With Me*
* *Dear Partner*
* *Under the Holly Branch*
* *For Love of Love*
* *What a Glorious Christmas Morning*

### References

* Charles Dickens wrote the original *Christmas Carol* story “over a hundred years ago”.

## Behind the scenes

This record was released in 1976.

Though based on *An Adaptation of Dickens' Christmas Carol*, it is not a straight translation of it; the narration of it is significantly changed — including the reduction of Mickey Mouse's part, the adding of an introduction not read by Scrooge, and the removal of some of the songs in favor of new ones (such as one for Jacob Marley, *Dear Partner*). A new orchestral score was also added.

Interestingly, Scrooge's reasoning for turning away the charity collectors is also different; rather than denying any interest in the poor's wellbeing, he argues that the two charity workers are probably just swindlers who want to pocket the money for themselves. The Ghosts of Christmas are also explicitly described as "ghosts" in the classical sense, mentioning the time they were alive. Finally, Tiny Tim is said to have starved to death outright, rather than died for lack of medical care for some other condition.

Interestingly, the voice Roger Carel gives to Merlin has little to do with that given to the wizard in *The Sword in the Stone*, even in the French dub (or, indeed, the voice used by Carel himself a few years later in *Merlin the Enchanter*). The voice he uses is, on the other hand, similar to the one he used for Maestro in the *Once Upon a Time…* animated series. Similarly, Carel gives Willie the Giant a voice not unlike that of his Undertaken in *Lucky Luke: Daisy Town*, an animated film he was working on during the same period.
Doctor Quackfaster

**Doctor Quackfaster** is an anthropomorphic duck.

## Description

The rather fat Dr Quackfaster is Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck's physician. In 1946, when, after being knocked on the head, Donald Duck ended up with a mild case of pyromania, Huey, Dewey and Louie went to him for advice. Quackfaster, overestimating Donald's condition, told them Donald “ought to be in a straight jacket”, prompting Huey, Dewey and Louie to try to hide Donald's craze from the authorities.

## Behind the scenes

Dr Quackfaster was created and used by Carl Barks in the 1946 story *The Firebug*.

Whether he is related to Miss Quackfaster, Scrooge McDuck's elderly secretary, is unknown.
Dimension-1579

**Dimension-1579** is a parallel world.

## Description

Dimension-1579 is a remote parallel universe. The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids had ready access to Dimension-1576 by the time the Cupid Parliament decided to exile the Sisters of Juliet and Romeo-1020 to an asteroid located in that world, as a way to get rid of them and the mayhem they kept causing.

## Behind the scenes

Dimension-1579 only ever appeared in the short 2019 *Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids* story *Incident Report C179B – “Of Romeos and Juliets”*.
Disney Comics Forum

Homepage of the Forum

**The Disney Comics Forum** was a forum relating to Disney comics (and, to a lesser extent, Disney in general).

## Description

Hosted on I.N.D.U.C.K.S.' servers, the Disney Comics Forum (or "DCF", as it was often abbreviated) was an international Disney comic forum which was, for a time, the primary English-language Disney comics forum. It was founded by I.N.D.U.C.K.S. staff member "cacou" in March 2007, and lasted until July 2015, when it was shut down due to a proliferation of spambots. The forum was well-known among Disney comics fans, mainly thanks to its presence on I.N.D.U.C.K.S..

The Forum was intended as a more modern replacement for the Disney Comics Mailing List, and a successor to the forum DCML - Talk, which was spun off of the mailing list but did not allow discussion of Disney comics.

After the DCF closed, the English-speaking Disney comics fandom was left forum-less for some time, until Mauro Fonseca founded the Feathery Society in 2016.

Official Disney comics personnel often utilized the forum, among them David Gerstein and Rob Klein.

On December the 21st, 2018, the archived forum was made available for download here.
Discordia Homeland

## The Discordia Homeland

 The **Discordia Homeland**, or just **the Homeland**, is a parallel universe.

## Description

The Discordia Homeland is the equivalent of the Cupid Homeworld that the Drove of the Demesmaekerite-Dyed Discordias, the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' hate-spreading evil twins, inhabit. It is a dark realm full of active volcanoes belching black smoke; the Discordias usually reside on the solid clouds formed by that smoke. The Homeland is ruled by the Discordias' creator, the villainous scientist Eris Hatenell.

## Behind the scenes

Donald's Buzzin' Cousin

First page of the story.

***Donald's Buzzin' Cousin*** is a comic story drawn by Tony Strobl. It features Donald Duck, Fethry Duck, and what may be Cindy Lou.

## Plot

Going to the Duckburg Airport to meet his long-estranged cousin Fethry is only the beginning of one of the craziest days in Donald Duck's life, as it turns out timid Cousin Fethry has grown up into an exuberant, eccentric loon who takes him on a fast-paced trip across the world…

## Behind the scenes

The story was first printed in January of 1966 in *Donald Duck* #105. It was reprinted in *Donald Duck* #215 and in the Australian *Donald Duck* #115 and South African *Donald Duck* #9.

Though Fethry Duck had first been seen in 1964 in *The Health Nut*, he had never been featured in American Disney comics, hence the perceived need to create this story as a formal introduction to the character in this story, which purports itself to be the actual first meeting of Donald and Fethry in adulthood (indicating it must actually take place in 1964 or earlier rather than 1966).
Downy O'Drake

***Downy O' Drake stories***

**Downy O'Drake**, who became **Downy McDuck**, was a female anthropomorphic duck.

## Description

The daughter of Irish immigrant to Scotland Duckson O'Drake, Downy married a relatively wealthy man and was soon widowed. She remarried, choosing poor Fergus McDuck. Gentle and caring (although as stingy as all the other McDucks), Downy had several children, including Scrooge McDuck, Hortense McDuck, Matilda McDuck, Gideon McDuck and Marley McDuck, before dying of illness in 1897. Downy is the maternal grandmother of Donald Duck and Della Duck, the mother-in-law of Quackmore Duck, the grandmother-in-law of Della's unnamed husband, and the maternal great-grandmother of Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck on their maternal grandmother's side.

## Behind the scenes

She first appeared in 1977 in *Zio Paperone e l'oro del Klondike*, though a 1968 comic strip had already mentioned a rather different version of Scrooge's mother as "a rich widow".

   Prior to either, *The Old Castle's Secret* featured two portraits in Scrooge McDuck's house, which, although originally unlabelled, were later identified by Johannes A. Grote's Duck Family Tree as Scrooge's parents, and, indeed, do resemble Fergus and Downy as shown in *DuckTales* and in Don Rosa's works.

### Voice Actresses

* Ashley Jensen (*DuckTales 2017*, actually an alternate version of the character)

## Description

The Department of Problem-Solving, whose Prefect is Pythagoras-858, is the group of resourceful, practical-minded Cupids who always end up solving the rest of the Cupid Intelligence Institute's problems for them, as they are the only ones possessed of some decent amount of common sense. They are rivals to the Department of Impossible Things, who always attempt to foist some of their impossible tasks onto the Problem-Solvers.

Although underfunded and given little respect by the Supreme Quaestor, the Department of Problem-Solving is widely trusted by the Crew to handle matters with business-like efficiency, with Pythagoras and the Problem-Solvers often being tasked to investigate important matters (such as the destruction of the Cupid Parliament building in 2019).

### List of members

* Pythagoras-858
* Juliet-178
* Carter-1277
* Edwin-750
* Juliet-178

Dimensional Prism

**Dimensional Prisms** are crystal prisms used to contain Rifts.

## Description

Created through a complex and time-consuming process from a specific naturally-occurring mineral, Dimensional Prisms can be used to contain Rifts safely. Four identical examples of larger and more potent subtype of Rifts can also be used together as part of a ritual which permanently stabilises a dimension threatened by excessive Rift activity.

The method to create Dimensional Prisms was recorded in books found by an old cobbler in a cabin in a parallel world, where he was stranded for years after falling in a Rift himself. He created several Rift-containing Prisms and, with the help of Tracker-764, later completed a set of four larger Prisms, eventually succeeding in saving his adopted world from the Rifts. When Tracker departed for further adventures, he took a few Prisms with him in his bag.

## Behind the scenes

Dimensional Prisms were first mentioned in 2019's *The Mad Cupid of the Euclidean Plane*.
Doli

**Doli** was a male pixie.

## Description

A member of the Fair Folk of Prydain in the Dark Ages, **Doli** got along well with the King Eidilleg but was grumpy with everyone else. Much to his dismay, he was tasked with leading Taran and his friends to the Witches of Morva during their quest to destroy the Black Cauldron, and, though he warmed up to them eventually, he still returned to his underground home.

## Behind the scenes

Doli first appeared in 1985 in *The Black Cauldron*. He is based on the character of the same name in Lloyd Alexander's *Chronicles of Prydain*.

* John Byner (*The Black Cauldron*)
Doctor Malvazar

**Doctor Malvazar** is an anthropomorphic ape.

## Description

Formerly a successful archeologist, Doctor Malvazar has always harbored ambitions of world domination. At an unspecified point in time, he became Master #7 of the Horde of the Violet Hare, a sect-like organization focused on collecting powerful ancient technology for the purpose of eventual world domination. Malvazar was flanked by a monkey, Lancelot, who kept imitating his every move, to his annoyance.

In 2005, this put him on the track of the Colossus of Rhodes. Believing the Colossus to have been destroyed, he found the plans for it and built a war-focused replica, dubbed the Shadow Colossus. However, he was headed off by Mickey Mouse, Eurasia Toft and Goofy, and the Shadow Colossus was destroyed by the actual, not-at-all-destroyed Colossus of Rhodes. Though the Horde's flagship was sunk in the process, Malvazar managed to escape, leaving Lancelot behind.

## Behind the scenes

Doctor Malvazar was first seen in the 2005 story *Mickey Mouse and the Shadow of the Colossus*. He and the Horde of the Violet Hare became recurring villains.
Department of Zoology

## The Department of Zoology

 The **Department of Zoology** is one of the Departments of the Cupid Intelligence Institute, itself a subdivision of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids.

## Description

The Department of Zoology, to which Edwin-750 apparently belongs as well as to the Department of Problem-Solving, is naturally devoted to the study and analysis of animal species. When the Copper-Colored Council of Elders opened up a Suggestion Box, they submitted a request for them to authorise a mission to the Euclidean Plane to investigate an alleged new species of Geometrons, the crescent-shaped Lunaeoids.

## Behind the scenes

The Department of Zoology was first mentioned in 2019's *The Cupid Suggestion Box*.
Drakehete History Museum

The **Drakehete History Museum** is a building located in Drakehete.

## Description

As its name states, this museum is Drakehete's museum of historical antiquities. By far its most famous and well-furnished room is the Pirate Room, which holds many heirlooms of Morgan Duck. These used to include his galleon's figurehead (which, unbeknownst to the museum's curators, contained his legendary treasure), but it was stolen in 2004 by the Beagle Boys and subsequently destroyed.

## Behind the scenes

The Drakehete History Museum was only ever seen in the 2004 story *The Beagle Boys and the Last Pirate*.
Differing Dropouts

***Differing Dropouts*** is a comic strip written by Bob Karp, penciled by Al Taliaferro and inked by Ellis Eringer. It features Scrooge McDuck and a nameless homeless man, also mentioning Scrooge's wealthy father.

## Description

A forlorn homeless man tells Scrooge McDuck that the reason he is so hopelessly poor is that he dropped out of school after 6th grade. Scrooge answers that it had nothing to do with riches, since *he*, too, dropped out of school after 6th grade… at which point his father financed his start in business with 20 million pounds.

## Behind the scenes

This strip was only ever printed in March of 1966 in miscellaneous American newspapers.

It refers to Scrooge McDuck's rich father, a stark contrast to the canonical working-man father Fergus McDuck who went on to appear in later works by other authors. The incidents featuring him, and so this strip, are taken to have taken place in the shady alternate timeline that Scotty McDuck originated from, with the father in question being none other than Scotty. Other 1960's strips featuring the supposed-Scotty include *Worse than Rocks* and *Stuffy Forebears*.
Dimensional Gateway

The Gateway in 2019 Mouseton.

The **Dimensional Gateway** is a technological portal capable of contacting parallel universes.

## Description

This beautiful stained-glass portal built in the 19th century in the Prime Universe has the ability to locate dark spirits in parallel universe and draw them into the Prime Universe. It is useless without a key which was lost for decades until the Phantom Blot located it on the black market. In the meantime, the Gateway had ended up in a Parallel Universes exhibit in the Mouseton Museum. The Phantom Blot managed to use it to summon the Blot from Wasteland, but, unable to control the monster, removed the key from the Gateway to send it back where it came from.

## Behind the scenes

The Dimensional Gateway is featured in the 2019 story *The Blot and the Blob*.

## The Department of Rifts

 The **Department of Rifts** is one of the Departments of the Cupid Intelligence Institute, itself a subdivision of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids.

## Description

The Department of Rifts is devoted to studying the properties of, and the potential threats caused by, inter-dimensional Rifts. Headed by Rosen-035, it is staffed with numerous researchers, whose warnings to Cupid authorities about the early signs of the Rifts Crisis were soundly ignored.

## Behind the scenes

The Department of Rifts was first mentioned in 2019's *Cupid Fact File No. 444 — The Faction of the Fooling Fish*.
Donald Duck says "Relax!"

The illustration

 ***Donald Duck says "Relax!"*** is an unofficial narrative illustration by Debbie Anne Perry, more details about the story of which were added by its de-facto publisher, Joe Torcivia. It features Donald Duck and also mentions Captain Retro-Duck (here spelled "Captain Retro Duck").

## Description

A serene Donald Duck stays at home reading a *Captain Retro Duck* hardcover book, a sign reading “Stay at Home and Stay Safe!” pinned on his living room wall.

### Continuity

* Captain Retro-Duck, and Donald's interest in the character, originated in Joe Torcivia's 2015 localization of Romano Scarpa and Rodolfo Cimino's story *The Duckburg 100* (1961). Debbie Anne Perry had earlier created many more works featuring Retro Duck in some fashion, including a cameo of a *Captain Retro-Duck* book in the *Fluffy and Mervin* one-pager *Captain Retro-Duck… er, um, “Retros” Again!* (2015), the unofficial Donald Duck one-pager *Donald Retro Duck!* (2016), and a visualization of the character as such later in 2016.
* In his commentary for the story when it was released on *Joe Torcivia's The Issue At Hand*, Torcivia playfully referred to the book owned by Donald in the cartoon as if it were a real Fantagraphics release he'd missed, entitled *Disney Masters Volume 402: Romano Scarpa and Joe Torcivia: Captain Retro Duck Retros Again*.

## Behind the scenes

The unlicensed *Donald Duck says "Relax!"* was created by comic author Debbie Anne Perry and released in April of 2020 on Joe Torcivia's blog *Joe Torcivia's The Issue At Hand*.

It is naturally a commentary on the then-ongoing self-isolation caused by the COVID-19 crisis. On her official Twitter account, Perry also released a different, two-part comic concerning Donald's reaction to the epidemic, wherein which he was much less serene.

“Donald Duck is prepared for this virus...but he’ll have a lot less to say because of it!”He could have a handheld whiteboard or a speech synthesizer to communicate! Or signs like Wile E. Coyote…
Dewey Dew-Night: The Sidekick

The title card.

***Dewey Dew-Night!: The Sidekick*** is a cartoon short written by Rachel Vine. It features Dewey and Louie Duck and Webby Vanderquack, and also mentions Gyro Gearloose, Donald Duck and Flintheart Glomgold.

## Plot

Following her finding out about his pet project of a talk-show entitled *Dewey Dew-Night*, Dewey Duck has Webby be his next "broadcasts"’s first guest, planning to have her tell the viewers about an amusing incident that apparently happened in the Cursed Antiquities Room of McDuck Manor earlier that day. Things predictably go awry due to Webby's shaky understanding of how talk-shows work.

Flintheart Glomgold's appearance is bumped.

## Behind the scenes

*Dewe Dew-Night: The Sidekick* was released on the Disney Channel YouTube channel on July the 8th, 2018. It serves as a coda to *Day of the Only Child*.
Donald Duck and the Alternate Lives

First page of the story.

***Donald Duck and the Alternate Lives*** (***Paperino e le Possibilità Alternative*** in the original Italian), or simply ***The Alternative Lives***, is a comic story written by Carlo Panaro Bosco and drawn by Paolo De Lorenzi. It features Donald Duck, his counterparts Sir Donald and Donald the soccer-player, Gyro Gearloose, Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, the versions of Scrooge, Gladstone, Daisy, Elvira and Huey, Dewey and Louie from Sir Donald's World, as well as James and the President, two original characters from Sir Donald's World and Soccer Donald's World respectively.

## Plot

After a rather bad day, Donald Duck volunteers to test out a new invention of Gyro's which uses captured Time Particles to send Donald's mind into the body of his counterpart in a parallel universe of his choosing. The two alternate realities he ends up in — one where he is a rich businessman, and the other with him as a star sportsman — seem idyllic at first, but isn't it only a case of grass always looking greener in the next meadow?

## Behind the scenes

This story was first printed in June of 2003 in Italy in *Topolino* #2482. In English, it was released on the "Disney Comics" IOS app and ComiXology website.
Doctor Fossil

**Doctor Fossil** is a mad scientist and foe of Darkwing Duck.

## Description

A deranged geneticist, Doctor Fossil sought to transform the anthropomorphic animals of his day into creatures from the age of dinosaurs. One of his first victims was an Anthropomorphic Duck who became Stegmutt, and served as Fossil's naive henchman as he continued his diabolical schemes. Fossil eventually came into conflict with St. Canard's costumed defender, Darkwing Duck, and unwittingly provided him with a potent recurring ally in Stegmutt once the kindhearted mutant realized the doctor's true nature.

## Behind the scenes

Doctor Fossil debuted in the *Darkwing Duck* episode Jurassic Jumble, which marked his only animation appearance.

His goal to transform intelligent beings into dinosaurs, and his own mutation into an Anthropomorphic Pterosaur, resemble the Marvel Comics villain Sauron.
Disneyland's 50th - Goofy and the Magic Box

The short

***Disneyland's 50th - Goofy and the Magic Box*** is a possible title for an animated promotional short featuring Goofy. A photograph of Walt Disney, and depictions of several other characters can also be briefly spotted.

## Description

Goofy is cleaning backstage at Disneyland when he finds a box, with a tag which reads "*Do not open for 50 years*". Realizing that it is the park's 50th anniversary, Goofy unwraps the box, unleashing a wave of magic which transforms the park (and greatly frightens Goofy).

## Behind the scenes

*Disneyland's 50th - Goofy and the Magic Box* was released in 2005, to promote Disneyland's 50th anniversary.
Disney Masters Volume 402: Romano Scarpa and Joe Torcivia: Captain Retro Duck Retros Again

Donald Duck reading his copy of the book.

 ***Disney Masters Volume 402: Romano Scarpa and Joe Torcivia: Captain Retro Duck Retros Again*** is an in-universe book published by Fantagraphics at some point prior to Spring of 2020.

## Description

This entry in the *Disney Masters* series is a hardcover reprint of some of the adventures of comic-book superhero Captain Retro Duck, beloved of Donald Duck; to his outrage, Joe Torcivia, one of the comics' authors, hadn't been contacted about the book, let alone commissioned to write a foreword. At any rate, in April of 2020, a serene Donald read through the purple-covered book when forced to stay at home.

## Behind the scenes

An imaginary entry in the real-life *Disney Masters* series of books by the real-life Fantagraphics, this book is mentioned in the unofficial comic *Donald Duck says "Relax!"*.
Drakehete

**Drakehete**, formerly **Duckhaiti**, is an island and independent state located in the Antilles.

## Description

Drakehete is a small, self-governed island in the Antilles; it operates as a monarchy which, judging by the name of the one known king (Tamakuri VI), appears to have proceeded from the native inhabitants without interruption, rather than be the result of what was once a colony regaining independence at a recent date.

Drakehete used to be a haven of piracy, being, most notably, the den of 17th century pirate Morgan Duck, though all that remains of this is a well-furnished Piracy Room in the Drakehete History Museum. In those days, Drakehete was known as Duckhaiti; the reason for the change is seemingly the result of a long-winded sequence of events that started with the King Tamakuri VI suffering from indigestion from eating too many mangoes.

## Behind the scenes

Drakehete was only ever seen in the 2004 story *The Beagle Boys and the Last Pirate*. Its former name, Duckhaiti, is a transparent allusion to the real-life Haiti.
Drake Von Vladstone

## Secondary relatives

**Drake Von Vladstone**, better known as **Count Dracula Duck**, was an anthropomorphic duck and a vampire.

## Heading

Drake Von Vladstone's history is largely unknown, however, it is known that he, at one point, owned or at least discovered the location of the Five Treasures, as he created a map to their locations, which he hid inside a portrait of himself. He seemingly arranged for himself to be resurrected if all five of the treasures were used as components in a specific magic spell.

Years after Vladstone's death, the sorceress Magica De Spell discovered the spell as well as the fact that the map existed and was hidden inside the portrait, and, with the aim of resurrecting the Count, came into possession of the painting and sold it, while in disguise, to Scrooge McDuck, hoping that he would find the treasures himself, saving her the trouble. Indeed, Scrooge discovered the map and collected the Five Treasures, only to have them stolen by Magica, who used them to resurrect Vladstone. Now under her command, he was forced to attack Scrooge, and did so multiple times, using powerful vampiric magic. However, Scrooge managed to withstand every attack, and continuously attacked Vladstone with his cane. Eventually, Vladstone's power was sufficiently drained by his attacks that Scrooge managed to destroy him, causing the vampire to disintegrate.

Although it is unknown, it would seem that Vladstone is now permanently dead, having completely disintegrated.

## Behind the scenes

Count Dracula Duck first appeared in the *DuckTales* NES game in 1989, however, his true name and backstory were only revealed in *DuckTales Remastered* in 2013.
Donald's Bomb

Professor Mollicule, Donald Duck and Professor Sleezy around the Bomb.

This **bomb** was a special atom bomb created by Donald Duck in 1947.

## Description

This bomb was created by Donald Duck after he read the book *Chemistry of Bombs*, in an attempt to create an atomic bomb. Fortunately for everyone involved, Donald's Bomb turned our rather different from regular atom bombs, emitting unique radiations that disintegrate mammalian hair instead of exploding with any force or heat. Nonetheless, foreign spy Professor Sleezy attempted to steal the bomb, and destroyed the sole prototype in the process. After Sleezy was arrested, Donald refused to make any more bombs, instead applying his chemical knowledge to the production of hair tonics.

## Behind the scenes

The bomb is the main macguffin of the story *Donald Duck's Atom Bomb*.
Double Luck

First page of the story (in Danish).

***Double Luck*** is a comic story drawn by Beatriz Bolster based on a preexisting script by Carl Fallberg. It features Donald Duck, Gladstone Gander and Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck.

## Plot

Donald Duck is once again annoyed by Gladstone Gander's underserved, neverending luck. Hoping to get the better of him for once, Donald sabotages Gladstone's attempt at winning a "How many beans are there in this jar?" contest. Can Donald's cheating machinations finally defeat Gladstone's luck?

## Behind the scenes

Created in 1977, this story was first printed in 1978 in the Danish *Anders And & Co.* #1978-38. It has never been printed in English anywhere.

The story is a remake of the 1953 story *Bean There, Done That*, drawn by Jack Bradbury. *Double Luck* sticks fairly close to the plot of *Bean There, Done That* but skips the opening sequence, cutting straight to Donald and Gladstone contemplating the jar of beans. There are various differences in the dialogue as well.
Disney Time 1975

A still from the film, showing the Doctor near a life-sized statue of Mickey Mouse.

## Other Information

### Dates

August the 25th, 1975 (release date)

***Disney Time 1975*** is a live-action special hosting clips, some of them animated. It stars the Doctor, also mentioning the Brigadier, and mentions Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy, featuring the likeness of the first and an impression of the second. A variety of characters, including those three, appear in the quoted segments.

## Description

Interdimensional traveler in time and space the Doctor tells Londoners about his friend Mickey Mouse (whom he hasn't seen in a while), arriving in the city just in time for a screening of the Mickey picture *Clock Cleaners*. Wandering about the town, the Doctor goes on to tell viewers about several other Disney stories, showing extracts from them — and, owing to his time-traveling nature, that includes one that hasn't come out yet!

## Behind the scenes

This special was part of the *Disney Time* series, broadcast yearly by the BBC. Little information is available about it online, and as such, no cast or crew beyond the obvious (Tom Baker as the Doctor) is known at present to the editors of this Wiki. The special features excerpts from *Clock Cleaners*, *Blackbeard's Ghost*, *The Jungle Book*, *African Lion*, *The Apple Dumpling Gang*, *Bedknobs and Broomsticks*, *Return of the Big Cat*, *Escape to Witch Mountain* and *Lady and the Tramp*.

The story was the first to feature (or, as the case may be, mention) a crossover between the *Doctor Who* universe and the Prime Universe, as the Doctor refers to Mickey as a person he's met. Don Rosa would later draw two cartoons, *Ducktor Who* and *Tardis for Sale*, where Scrooge McDuck interacts with the TARDIS. The story *The Last Time Lord* also established the existence of "Time Lords" in the Disney comics universe, although they are somewhat different from their canonical *Doctor Who* selves, and the story *Crisis on Infinite Darkwings* showed a person from a parallel universe who was a mashup of Darkwing Duck and the Doctor as portrayed by Tom Baker.

The ending of the special sees the Doctor receive a message from his friend the Brigadier. This tied into the next episode of the regular *Doctor Who* series, *Terror of the Zygons*, which begins with the Doctor and his companions hurrying to the Brigadier following their receiving the message.

Doctor Yess

**Doctor Yess** is a male anthropomorphic dog.

## Description

Doctor Yess is a selfish mad scientist who found a way to extract luck from individuals and distill it into a drinkable elixir. Already a wanted criminal for "many years" leading up to 2016, he had, by then, come to control an entire island near Tahiti, Pogo-Pogo — which he operated as a sham tourist resort as a lure for Gladstone Gander, whom he meant to capture and drain of his unique luck to take over the world.

However, Yess had failed to anticipate that Gladstone would take Daisy with him on the false "free holiday", leading Donald Duck to come with as well out of jealousy. The two Ducks' presence threw a spanner in the works as they rescued Gladstone, helped him cope with being temporarily luckless, and took the vial of elixir back from Yess (exploiting Yess's mistreatment of his two main henchpeople to do so). They then alerted Captain Bird's Coast Guards to Yess's presence on the island, and he and his henchpeople were arrested.

Although a vengeful Yess insisted that no prison could hold him for long as he was taken away, he has yet to resurface.

## Behind the scenes

Doctor Yess first appeared in the 2016 story *All You Need Is Luck*.

His name, combined with the fact that he operates in a base beneath a seemingly-heavenly tropical island, makes it obvious that he is an allusion to the notorious James Bond villain Doctor No, versions of whom are the main antagonist of the novel of the same name and its notorious 1962 feature film adaptation. Doctor Yess's plan, however, bears little resemblance to any incarnation of Doctor No's schemes.

## Behind the scenes

*Donald Duck and Huey, Dewey, and Louie: Australia and Oceania* was first published as volume 23 of the *Disney's Wonderful World of Knowledge* series.

Unlike the other books in the series, *Australia and Oceania* isn't simply a translation of Italian version of the book; while portions of it were taken from the Italian edition, some of the book was taken from *Disney's It's A Small World*, apparently an educational book about the world which had already been published in English (although this Wiki's editors have, at this time, been unable to find out more about the book).
