Barks continuity

[Donald D. Markstein]

Twice, several years apart, Barks mentioned that one of the Beagle Boys 
liked prunes. As far as I know, it's the only individual trait he ever 
gave a Beagle Boy, who otherwise were almost as much alike as Nephews. 
It's also an example of continuity in his stories. And by the way, 
that's what initially turned me off to DuckTales -- the fact that you 
could tell one Beagle from another without reading his number. They even 
had different names. Booo!

Also by the way, I can't think of any other examples of identical 
triplets in comics -- or in stories in general, for that matter. In 
fact, just off the top of my head, I can't think of any absolutely 
identical twins, other than Heckle & Jeckle, the Terrytoons stars, and 
the twins in Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast trilogy.

Quack, Don
