Thread Name: Donald Duck & Uncle Scrooge Fans!
Subject: RE: Donald Duck & Uncle Scrooge Fans!
Har! Har! Typical Carl Barks touch. I love it when Scrooge shrieks "The Beagle Boys! The terrible Beagle Boys" (Who else would it be???) as the lads remove their false beards and other tacky disguises, revealing those dumb, stubbly, black-masked faces, greed for uncountabajillions of dollars shining in their witless little eyes...and grinning from from ear to ear. Scrooge McDuck was their inspiration, their Everest. His billions were their holy grail.

How about the time Scrooge had to sell a 900 ton blast furnace and he managed to do it during a heat wave in the Siamese jungle?....All to stop the locals from listening to rock music by "Shoeless Pashly"....or was it "Elfish Pestley"? Barks clearly did not like Elvis all that much.

No one could outsell Scrooge McDuck...the ultimate capitalist of all time.
