Hi!
A while ago, Don Rosa told he took the name Humperdink Duck, used for Grandma deceased husband,
in a scrapbook scene in an old WDC&S story from the early 50's :

Can anyone tell which story it is?
Don, why is Humperdink called Dabney in some American publications of your stories, and where
does this name come from?
Now, about the Coot family, was this only your idea to make Cornelius be Donald's ancestor?
Was Donald's cousin Cuthbert from "Webfooted Wrangler" ( WDC 55-02, 1944), called Cuthbert Coot, or just Cuthbert, and if it was called Cuthber Coot, was it this detail which made you think that maybe, Cornelius could be an ancestor of this cousin ?
Now, about Ludwig, would Picsou Magazine allow you to do a story with Ludwig married to Matilda, or a story with the return of Matilda, Hortense and Quackmore, or a story with HDL's parents, or are all of these ideas are totally forbidden by any publisher? If Picsou gives you more liberties, I think it's too bad to not work with them anymore...
