Hi, Francesco and all!

I think he only means that he is the fourth considering Gus, Gladstone,
Clearwater... and himself, still ignoring that Fethry was just created And
gonna be published.
Scarpa did not count the other "older" Donald's cousins (the Dick Moore's
inventor one, the
Barks' cowboy, owner of a dude ranch and so on).

Indeed, Sgrizzo lives on the rocky hills far from Duckburg, even if in a
very, very , very bad recent story, he has a "normal" house in Duckburg, but
surely this "plot" was written by a guy who didn't read the previous
Sgrizzo's stories. It shouldn't be considered. Like, for instance, the
(in)famous stories where Grandma, Scrooge and Gideon are considered three
bros. (SHUDDER)!

Sgrizzo makes a living in different ways, selling bees' honey, as a deliver
boy, selling newspapers the ones of Gideon McDuck ones). In two stories
tries to work as reporter. He has a "moto" provided with a sidecar for
coming to the city.
