Scrooge's Grave

[Klartekst]

All this talk about Scrooge's grave - have
you guys forgotten that Carl Barks gave him
eternal life?

In the story "Go Slowly, Sands of  Time"
written and illustrated (in 1980!) by CB
himself it is revealed that the old duck is
constantly rejuvinated by his daily money
swims. I quote from the end of the story:

"...and Uncle Scrooge dove back into the
coins in his money bin and soon the wrinkles
disappeared from his aged face, and the aches
left his aged bones, and he became as spry as
when he was a pushy cannon peddler
profiteering from the Boer War."

Commenting on the story, Barks said that it
was

"...kind of a spiritual story of Scrooge,
which gives him a means of going on and on
forever so you don't have to to feel that he
comes to the end of the line and dies all at
once. He's going to just keep on going into
eternity. Kids that read about him a hundred
years from now can think of him as still
being alive."
