Donaldless Continuum

The **Donaldless Continuum** is a nightmarish alternate continuity of the main continuity.

## Description

The Donaldless Continuum is what the Prime Universe would have become had Donald Duck never been born. His absence resulted in Duckburg becoming an impoverished town ruled with an iron fist by corrupt Beagle Boy policemen, with such inversions as Magica De Spell as the richest duck in the world. On his birthday in 1952, the main universe's Donald Duck was sent to the Donaldless Continuum by the Birthday Genie, which boosted his self-esteem.

The same events also depicted Iago's origins as a fellow sorcerer to Jafar and the Mage, who was transformed into his parrot form in the same magical duel, and the genesis of the Cave of Wonders's lion-head and human-like intelligence, shown to be the immortal legacy of a Royal Guard who sacrificed himself to keep the Lamp from Jafar.

## Behind the Scenes

### Index

***Manfred Meek stories***

**Manfred Meek** is an anthropomorphic dog.

## Description

A young but brilliant biochemist from Mouseton, Doctor Meek is also regretfully shy, so much so that in 2002, having tried and failed many times to work up the courage to ask his secretary Jane Plain on a date, he invented an elixir that would increase the drinker's instincts and boldness. Unfortunately, Meek accidentally lost his first sample, which ended up drunk by already-courageous Mickey Mouse, temporarily turning the mouse into a manic daredevil going by “Maniac Mickey”. Mickey recovered with no serious injuries after the potion wore off, and didn't appear to want to investigate its origins; what happened to Dr Meek is thus unknown, though it is probable that he eventually recreated his elixir and proposed to Jane at long last.

## Behind the scenes

Doctor Manfred Meek appears in the 2002 story *Dr Jekyll and Mr Mouse*.

Doom Diamond

Scrooge McDuck and Pfat Caht in front of the Doom Diamond in 1967.

The **Zero Diamond**, or more colloquially the **Doom Diamond**, is a large diamond.

## Description

The Doom Diamond, while one of the biggest diamonds in the world, is also the "most cursed jewel in the history of the world", bringing untold misfortune onto its owner. The exact circumstances of its becoming cursed are unknown, but it passed through many hands, becoming an obscure but enduring bit of trivia known to experts of the arcane arts.

By 1967, the Diamond was in the possession of King Kumquat of Mysterystan, who spent his fortune containing the Diamond's effects before managing to sell it to an unaware Scrooge McDuck. The Beagle Boys, also unaware of the Diamond's true nature, attempted to steal it on the way back, and the chaos bred the perfect conditions for a rather awe-inspiring manifestation of the Diamond's jinx-bringing powers.

Later, a badly-worded wish by Magica De Spell from a demon called Shax landed the lost diamond into her hands (she had meant to ask for Scrooge McDuck's first "dime", but had been backtracked into asking for Scrooge's "diamond"). It is unknown how she got rid of the accursed gem, although it is clear that she did, as she was no longer suffering from its effect a little while later.

## Behind the scenes

The Doom Diamond was, fittingly enough, first seen in the 1967 story *The Doom Diamond*.
Doc

**Doc** is a male dwarf.

## Description

Doc is one of the Seven Dwarfs living together in their cottage in an enchanted kingdom in the Black Forest, and spends his days mining for jewels with the others. Doc is the eldest and does his best to act as the "responsible" Dwarf, a leader for the other six. Much of his intelligence is just show, however, and in his attempts to sound cultured Doc is prone to spoonerisms; moreover, he tends to use his status as leader to skirt on actual work. Along with his siblings, Doc took Snow White in after she fled from her stepmother's murderous intentions, and ended up befriending the Princess, who would often visit them later on.

## Behind the scenes

Doc first appeared in 1937 in *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs*.

There has been some debate on whether "Doc" refers to a medical doctor, or just the holder of a doctorate. As pointed out by Geoffrey Moses on *Duck Comics Revue*, however, his French name's being "Prof" leans towards the latter, though even then it is unknown if this is just pretense or if Doc actually studied for a doctorate at some point.

### Voice Actors

* Roy Atwell (original voice in *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs*)
* Jim Cummings (deleted scenes of *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs* as restored for the Diamond DVD edition)
* Pinto Colvig (*Seven Wise Dwarfs*)
* Stan Freberg (*Mickey Mouse's Birthday Party*)
* Doc Potter (Musical)
* André Sogliuzzo (recurring voice since 2007)
Daddy Diller

**“Daddy Diller”** was a more-or-less human man.

## Description

Daddy Diller, later described by his daughter the witch Phyllis Diller as “a real swinger”, was a monstrous hunchbacked bellringer. At some point, he married a woman, sister to Madam Mim and Medusa, who later became an undead mummy (and an elegant, if hideous, one at that). Diller had, by all appearances, a brother in the form of the wolfman Harry, Phyllis's Uncle. Unlike his undead wife, it would seem that Diller had died by 1952, as Phyllis spoke of him in the past tense when an image of him appeared on her crystal-ball TV.

## Behind the scenes

Daddy Diller appears briefly in the 1972 *The Mouse Factory* episode *Spooks and Magic*. There exists a rumor that the character was performed by one William Kelley.

He is, of course, patterned after popular film depictions of Victor Hugo's Quasimodo, long before Disney debuted their own, actual version of the character; the Notre-Dame-style Hunchback was, for a time, part of the roster of classic monsters alongside the Wolfman and the Vampire, though he was later downplayed.
Director of Parks and Recreation

## The Directorof Parks & Recreation

The **Director of Parks and Recreation** is a dognose man.

## Description

This mustachioed man was, by 2004, the Duckburg Mayor's office's Director of Parks and Recreation. Photojournalist Dickie Duck, hiding in some bushes with her camera, caught him littering in the park, going against every policy set by his own department; she later showed said picture to Gideon McDuck.

## Behind the scenes

The Director of Parks and Recreation is mentioned (and appears in a flashback) in the 2004 one-pager *Say Cheese*.
Diving Bell

**Magical?** | No

The Diving Bell was a diving mechanism attached to the **Candelaria**,the flagship of **Captain Melian'**s fleet.

## Description

Captain Melian had invented one of the first diving bells, and used this one specifically to search for sunken ship wrecks.

The diving bell was lost when the Candelaria was sunk **dutch** raiders in 1655.

**Donald Duck** and **Huey,Dewey and Louie** would much later find the diving bell of the Candelaria by accident. It inspired Donald, to have his **uncle** build a gigantic **Glass Dome** in order to examine the wreck of the **Candelaria** under dry conditions.

## Mechanism

The Candelaria's diving bell, operated like any other wet bell, being essentially a chamber suspended by cable, and open at the bottom.

There were seats inside for a small number of divers, as well as glass windows that allowed looking outside, and inspecting the sunken ship wrecks.

A certain volume of air would occupy it's space, and when lowered underwater, the water pressure would keep the air trapped inside the bell. Of course, the breathable air within the bell would be limited and it would eventually need to be raised again.
Disney Villains Celebrate Halloween at Disney Parks!

## Video

Alternate version of the commercial

***Disney Villains Celebrate Halloween at Disney Parks!*** is a live-action/animated hybrid short featuring Cruella De Vil, Maleficent, the Queen of Hearts, Grimhilde, Captain Hook, Hades, Jafar, Ursula, a Pop-Up Ghost, and an image of Mufasa.

## Plot

The Disney Villains frolic through Disneyland on Halloween, and end up discovering that some of the rides are scary even to them…

### Continuity

* The Queen of Hearts's (and Ursula's) slapstick misadventure in the *Tower of Terror* is shot identically to those of Mickey Mouse, Goofy and Donald Duck in *Disneyland's 50th - Parks* (2005), and of Phineas, Gus, and Ezra in *Haunt Both Parks* (2015). A short clip of the same scene can also be seen in *Buzz Explores* (2012).

## Behind the scenes

This short trailer was released in 2010 to promote the Halloween events at Disneyland.

There exists an alternate version of the commercial, in which only one change is made: Ursula enters the *Tower of Terror* elevator along with the Queen of Hearts, and, like the Queen, does not fair well when the elevator drops. This was presumably done because Ursula, who appears at the beginning of the short with the other villains received no scene of her own, only reappearing in a group shot near the end. However, this overlooks a more egregious oversight: Hades, who appears at the beginning, is never seen again in the commercial in either version.
Doctor Grut

**Doctor Grut** is a male dognose.

## Description

Doctor Grut is a scientist and scholar of the occult. Dressed in all black, with a bushy black beard and a manic glare, Grut dwellt in a large and creepy manor in Mouseton, where he was served by his Aberzombies — people whom he turned into mindless, immortal servants through unknown techniques. He seemed to be extremely old, having used some of his dark knowledge to unnaturally prolong his life, as his "senior Aberzombie", Thaddeus, was over two hundred years old.
Grut's plans were as varied as they were ominous — he claimed to want the good of mankind by turning people into trees and dogs into cabbage so as to solve overpopulation, but also possessed a secret formula for a poison gas and stocked absurd quantities of explosives in his manor. Fortunately, in 1943, Grut went after Mickey Mouse's Electro-Box, and the resulting confrontation ended with Grut in jail and his Aberzombies taken from him.

## Behind the scenes

Dr Grut only appeared in the 1943 story *The 'Lectro Box* and illustrations related to it.
Dick Mouse

**Dick "Stand and Deliver" Mouse**, also known as **Turpin Mouse**, was a male anthropomorphic mouse.

## Description

Presumed brother of Nathaniel Mouse (who moved to America), the towering Dick Mouse stayed in England and became a swashbuckling highway bandit known as Dick "Stand and Deliver" Mouse, or by the nom-de-plume Turpin Mouse.  A portrait of him was sketched in 1742.

## Behind the scenes

Dick Mouse's picture appears in the 1945 comic *Infamous Ancestors*. Half a century later, he was repeatedly mentioned in *Early To Bid*, but under the alias of Turpin Mouse.

### Name

According to David Gerstein, Dick was so named in allusion to the famous real-life bandit Dick Turpin. In 1997 for *Early To Bid*, censorship forced Gerstein to rename the character, as "Dick" had acquired a rude slang meaning posterior to Gottfredson's use of the name. Gerstein thus called him "Turpin Mouse" to preserve the original reference. (Gerstein has explained, off the record, that he sees Turpin Mouse as an alias adopted by Dick Mouse.)
Diamond in the Rough

***Diamond in the Rough*** is an unofficial comic story scripted by Theo Dolev and drawn by Ophir Sheriff based on a synopsis created by the pair of them. and inked by Kay Wright. It features the Jafar, Iago (in human and parrot form), Cave of Wonders and Magic Carpet of a parallel continuity, alongside the new characters of the Mage and the Royal Guard.

## Description

Long before Aladdin is sent on his quest for the lamp by Grand Vizier Jafar, Jafar's rebellious apprentice and a Royal Guard traipse through the Agrabah Desert, seeking the Cave of Wonders — not for the treasures to be found there, but instead to bury one more dangerous wonder in its mystical depths. Can they manage to do so before Jafar and Iago… or their own fears… catch up with them?

### References

* Jafar's Snake Staff is matched to two other ancient magical artifacts of a similar nature, the Scarab Staff and the Parrot Staff. The Scarab Staff, broken in twain, becomes the Golden Scarab at the end of the story, showing how that artifact came to be (at least in this world).

### Continuity

* Though it ignores some elements from its official backstory, even as given in the film itself, for which reason it can only be considered a different continuity, the story is intended to be read as a prequel to *Aladdin* (1992), showing how the Lamp comes to be in the Cave of Wonders and the Magic Carpet comes to be.

## Behind the scenes

This "what-if?" tribute to *Aladdin* was created in 2015 by Ophir Sheriff and Theo Dolev and released in one go on its own website, www.ditrcomic.com. The website has since gone down, but the comic is still available on Sheriff's DeviantArt page.

Had Ms. Myrtle not deigned to use her arcane might to cure Wander of his illness in 2016, Sylvia would have been forced to track him down, as he would have been the only being capable of treating him without resorting to supernatural powers.

## Behind the scenes

The Doctor would have been central to one of the possible pitched plots for the *Wander Over Yonder* episode *The Sick Day*, according to Frank Angones.

Naturally, the Doctor would have been a play on the character of the same name from the *Doctor Who* franchise (specifically his Tenth Doctor incarnation, considering the planned casting of David Tennant). It is unknown precisely what traits this Doctor shared with the original; they cannot merely be identical counterparts adjusting for the different universes and timelines, as the original Doctor (despite his name) is never noted to be particularly good at medicine.

It is possible that this Doctor is the owner of the TARDIS which the Prime Universe's Scrooge McDuck briefly caught a hold of at some point in the 1950's as shown in *Ducktor Who*, though it is more probable that it belonged to the original Whoniverse's Doctor (who is known to have dimension-traveled to the Prime Universe in his fourth incarnation).

## Description

The Diamond-Nosed Rocket was constructed and paid for by the Maharajah of Eyesore. It cost “his weight in diamonds”, being meant to allow the Rajah to take part in the Great Space Race and get its owner to the Golden Moon first, allowing him to claim it for himself. When it blasted off, it was believed to be the fastest vehicle ever built on Earth, though the Beagle Boys' secret, illegally-constructed Beagle Rocket proved faster — and also capable of ramming and damaging the Maharajah's rocket, putting him out of the race.

Dragon of Dragonia

## The Dragon of Dragonia

The **Dragon of Dragonia** is a male non-sapient dragon.

## Description

This large dragon (long thought to be the last of his species, although this was far from true) terrorized the small, rural island of Dragonia in the middle of the 20th century. Nearly invulnerable and able to breathe fire, the dragon had a strange obsession with herding all the cows he could his claws on, which was a bit of a problem for a country like Dragonia whose economy was primarily based on the sale of dairy products. Peter Pan took an interest in the matter and fought the dragon several times, but unsuccessfully, despite the help of the fairy Tinker Bell.

Finally, as a last resort, Peter called in three children, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, who had showed idle interest in fighting a "real, live dragon". The three managed to find the dragon's weak point — it was ticklish at the end of its tail — and soon the beast was tied up and harmless. As reward for their services, the Dragonian authorities handed ownership of the subdued dragon over to the Ducks; Huey, Dewey and Louie didn't know quite what to make of it, but Donald decided to accept the gift, planning to sell the creature to his uncle Scrooge to guard one of his vaults. Whether he followed through on this plan is unknown.

## Behind the scenes

The Dragon of Dragonia was only ever seen in the 1953 story *Donald Duck meets Peter Pan*.
Doctor Grinmore

## Doctor Grinmore(2017 Continuum)

**Doctor Grinmore** is an anthropomorphic duck from the 2017 Continuum.

## Description

A rather egotistical and ill-tempered little old scientist, specializing in chemistry, Doctor Grinmore once mixed chemicals wrong and accidentally created an extremely effective and inexpensive dental cream. He sold the patent for ten million dollars and used the money to create the Bombastic Band of Brains research center, where he invited colleagues of his to research new outside-the-box solutions to everyday problems. (Rather unfortunately, the B.B.B. have a tendency to actually reinvent existing commodities, such as washing machines or MP3 players.)

## Behind the scenes

Doctor Grinmore appears in the 2017 comic *The Great Experiment of the Washing Machine*.
Divisadero Hotel

* Gold Hat
* Donald Duck

## Three Caballeros Concert

However, considering that he had already shown his 'best act', Donald and Panchito Pistoles spontaneously decide to back him up, and subsequently perform their theme song, 'The Three Caballeros'.
Dingus McDuck (2017 Continuum)

**“Dirty” Dingus McDuck** was an anthropomorphic duck, and the 2017 Continuum's counterpart to Titus McDuck.

## History

The father of Fergus McDuck (and thereby grandfather of Scrooge), Dingus McDuck was a coal miner by profession, but lived in Castle McDuck at least towards the end of his life, at which point he discovered the location where his ancestor Sir Simon McDuck had hidden the Treasure of the Knights Templar. Accepting that the McDucks were only custodians of the treasure, rather than its owners, Dingus left it untouched.

He had much the same sort of difficult relationship with his son Fergus as Fergus would later have with Scrooge, and, in case Fergus ever snooped around for the treasure, left a series of false clues in the Castle that led to naught but a note deriding him for trying to take an easy ticket to wealth.

It's said on the book "Solving Mysteries and Rewritting History!" that he didn't like to pay taxes.

## Behind the scenes

This version of Grandfather McDuck first appeared in the book *Solving Mysteries and Rewritting History*, on the Duck Family Tree. One month later he appeared in the series as a portrait (and is repeatedly mentioned) in *The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck*.

Donald Duck and the Christmas Carol

The first page of the story

***Donald Duck and the Christmas Carol***, also known as *Uncle Scrooge's Christmas Carol* or simply ***The Christmas Carol***, is a written story written by Jane Werner and illustrated by Carl Barks. It features Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck and Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, and characters disguise themselves as Santa Claus and as the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present and the Ghost of Christmas Future.

## Plot

After Scrooge McDuck acts especially callously towards Donald Duck and the boys, the latter take it upon themselves to take a page about of Charles Dickens's book and have three "fearsome spirits" visit Scrooge and convince him to change his ways.

## Behind the scenes

   This short illustrated story, created in 1958, was printed in 1960 as part of the *Little Golden Books* series. It was reprinted in the original *Carl Barks Library* and in *Uncle Scrooge in Color* #1 (where it was renamed *Uncle Scrooge's Christmas Carol*).

It is best-remembered for Carl Barks's illustrations, and for being the first of many ventures of the Duck cast into the *Christmas Carol* story.

In 1989, following the release and great success of *Mickey's Christmas Carol*, a version of the story was finally published in the Netherlands (where it had never been seen), in an edited version that included art of Jiminy Cricket (suggesting he was the narrator of the story, and in obvious reference to his role in *Mickey's Christmas Carol*).
