Gawrsh.  All I did was take a few zeitgiests floating around the comic
book industry here in the U.S., and apply it to Scrooge.  

I think Gladstone would be a more suitable replacement for Scrooge, and
Glomgold could be the villain.

(This thread probably makes no sense to non-U.S. readers.  See "Death of
Superman", "Knightfall", "Knightquest", "World Without a Superman", "Reign
of the Superman", and most of the special covers published in the past two
years.

Oh, I forgot glow-in-the-dark, serial numbers, and holograms, not to
mention all the fun stuff that could fit in a polybag.
