DuckTales comments and Rumpus

[Katie Sullivan]

First, on the subject of Rumpus, I see him as existing in a
different universe or continuity than the Barks/Rosa one.  So I
don't hurt my brain too much trying to figure out how he would
fit into that family tree.  ;-)
Has Van Horn ever used (or mentioned by name) Hortense or
Matilda?  Didn't Don Rosa come up with the name "Fergus" as
Scrooge's father's name, since Barks only called him by the
nickname "Scottie" or somesuch?  
It seems like Van Horn freely borrows bits and pieces of other
authors' universes, and ignores others.  I'm NOT saying this is
a bad thing!  It's fun, and certainly within his right!  (Rosa
does this too, after all--the "earning the first dime by shining
a ditchdigger's boots" scene wasn't a Barks idea but came from
another author whose name escapes me at the moment...Strobl?)
But I'm just wondering what other bits of the Barks/Rosa
continuity have been picked up by Van Horn.

Ah, but that outward hate simply covers up his love for her.  ;)

Although I did like the DuckTales version of "Back to the
Klondike," too.  ;)

Oh, that's okay then!  LOL!  ^_^

Not to mention how quickly he forgets Goldie.  :-p

Yeah. "Love bucks," and "money muffin."  *gag*  LOL!


And lastly, thanks to Luca for the information about
Flintheart's first non-Barks appearance!  Very interesting!  :)
