Well, that's *not* true. It was for instance ME who started
the topic which eventualy gave us information about the exact
publication of "Dream of a Lifetime".

In the Rosa universe he IS married... (That's also confirmed by
Fernando in another thread). And it is even logic. Even the
referred sites states that Ludwig is Donald's uncle. There is 4
ways that can be true (assuming uncle means uncle):
a) Ludwig could be Donald's father's brother
b) Ludwig could be Donald's mother's brother
c) Ludwig could be married to a sister of Donalds's father
d) Ludwig could be married to a sister of Donalds's mother

Since his name is "von Drake" and not Duck or McDuck
alternatives A and B are very little plausible. So
what's left is alternatives C and D.

Since Donald's father's only sister, Daphne Duck, is
married to Goostave Gander (Gladstone Gander's parents)
possibillity C is impossible. What's then left is
possibillity D.

You may argue that Ludwig never apears together with
Matilda. But that doesn't prove that they never did marry.
She may have died after a few years leaving him a widower.
Just like Grandma Duck is a widdow after Humerdink Duck.

I didn't mean to *blame* anyone. Just making a little point
out of that thread. I am very sorry if anyone in DCML in any
way felt offended by that.

Noting new to add?
Hmmm actually the topic started with a question if
Duckburg has 10.000 or more than 100.000 inhabitants.
As long as you haven't commented that no one can
possibly know what number you prefer.
