Well, even though Egmont may consider Ludwig von Drake to be "officially dead" and there might be a bias against such 
characters as Moby Duck, their is still the seeming "fact" that Disney, as an entity, does not currently express the 
same sentimentality!  A recent Pin Collectors version of the "Duck Family Tree" firmly includes BOTH characters, and as 
recently as the animated TV series, Ludwig was very MUCH alive and well in MODERN cartoons.  The BAY CHRONICLES 
comicbook series has recently utilized Moby in a continuous fashion as the lead character. Egmont may dictate who can 
and cannot be used in THEIR publications, but that does not mean no one can use a character if published through some 
other source.

Dimwitty (and Porpy), on the other hand, has seemingly fallen by the wayside through disuse (sliding into that place 
called "comicbook limbo" where characters can easily be long forgotten until some creator decides to pluck them out for 
a spell).
