"it's just as likely that Duckworth is inspired by those butlers as by the original Edgerton."<BR>

I'd tend to agree. Duckworth most likely assumed the regular role of Scrooge's butler to give the depiction of "mansion life" in the DUCKTALES series a more consistent look. Note, too, the interior shots of the mansion were remarkably consistent from episode to episode. As opposed to something like THE FLINTSTONES, where the interior of Fred and Wilma's house looked and was furnished differently IN EVERY EPISODE. <BR>

I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but Duckworth did appear in William Van Horn's "Snore Losers", from Disney Comics' DONALD DUCK ADVENTURES # 5 (OCTOBER, 1990). I'd imagine this was his only appearance outside of actual DUCKTALES comics. <BR>
