Where Scrooge lives

Don:

Thank you. I also think it's the right answer. :-)

I just defined a "Disney artist" as "a person who has done comics     
stories for official Disney comics producer or producers".            
I didn't mean it as... But ok. :-) (Hmm. I overuse these smileys.)    
                                                                      
> In MY stories, Scrooge and Duckburg are *definitely* in The United  
States                                                                
> of America.                                                         
                                                                      
Yes, my point exactly.                                                
                                                                      
I think the artist always has the ultimate say in the questions       
related                                                               
to his work. So your ducks live in the United States. That is a fact  
like                                                                  
"Harry Potter lives in the UK." and "Winnie the Pooh is a bear with   
very little brain." No translator or editor can ever change these     
universal                                                             
facts even if they changed their printing of a story.                 
                                                                      
But while I do think you are the best "person who has done comics     
stories for official Disney comics producer or producers" alive, there
are also other comics creators.                                       
                                                                      
And as you said some of the other writers don't care about the exact  
location of their Duckburg. Some simply don't think the location is   
that important. Some might place their ducks on some fantasy          
planet. Some might even wish that the people in different countries   
could imagine that the ducks live in their country thus giving the    
reader the final say over where Scrooge lives.                        
                                                                      
And that is why: "and/or the readers of the comics imagine him in."   
                                                                      
To summarize my post: Rosa ducks in the US, others where ever.
