Regarding Professor T. W. Wong's inquiry regarding The Donald Duck story with
"Wee Angus" (cousin of Uncle Scrooge McDuck):

The original U.S.A. publication of that story drawn by Tony Strobl and inked by
Steve Steere, was released in Donald Duck Number 65, in May 1959.  It was titled
"One For The Whammy".  It involved Uncle Scrooge's cousin coming to Duckburg
(from Scotland) to compete for The Whammy Cup in a series of events with
individuals competing in a skills competion (parody of "The Scottish "Highland
games".  "Wee Angus" was expected by Scrooge to be little, and thus, not eat too
much (as he was Scrooge's house guest).  He was, in actuality, a very big
Duck(man), who ate tremendous amounts of food.

The story also mentions (and shows in a flashback), another cousin of Scrooge
from Scotland, Cousin Slye McDuck, who was a sneak thief.  He had stayed with
Scrooge, and stole things from him, and sold
them.
