Barks and Grandma/Scrooge

Saludos caballeros!

I was just wondering: Did Barks know that Italians made a sibling
relationship between Scrooge and Grandma? If he did, does anyone know what
he thought of this?

The reason I ask, is that this sibling relationship and Carl Barks' Duck
family tree often are used as opposites - but I sometimes wonder if Barks
would support this siblinghood if he knew it "existed".

I feel that most stories describing the youth of Scrooge and Grandma as
siblings are very good, and written in Barksian style, and I can't help
suspecting that Barks would have loved these stories, and thus MAYBE even
drawn this siblinghood into his unofficial Duck family tree if he knew these
stories...

...or I could be COMPLETELY wrong. Well, without anyone helping me out here,
I will never know.



Best,
Olaf the Blue
