Disney comics characters

The Duck family unit is a fictional family of cartoon ducks related to Disney graphic symbol Donald Duck. The family is as well related to the Coot, Goose, and Gander families, besides as the Scottish Clan McDuck. Too Donald, the all-time-known members of the Duck family are Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Donald'due south three triplet nephews.

Members of the Duck family appear most extensively in Donald Duck comic stories (although some have made blithe appearances). In 1993, American comics author Don Rosa published a Duck Family Tree that established the characters' relationships in his stories. He likewise created a fictional timeline for when certain characters were born (All nascence/death dates given beneath are Rosa's). Other comics authors both earlier and after have shown variations in the family unit.

Development [edit]

In the early 1950s Carl Barks was in his second decade of creating comic book stories starring Donald Duck and his various relatives. He had personally created several of the latter, Scrooge McDuck (Donald'southward uncle) and Gladstone Gander (Donald's cousin) beingness the most notable among them. To better define their relations, Barks created a family tree, wherein he added several previously unknown relatives to fill in the gaps. Barks never intended to publish this family tree and created it but for personal reference.

The first public try at a coherent biography of the Ducks was published in 1974. An Breezy Biography of Scrooge McDuck by science fiction author Jack Chalker used names and events in the Barks stories (and a very few not-Barks ones) to create a life story for Scrooge. Information technology provided the basis for a Scrooge McDuck biography included in The People's Almanac.^[one]

By 1978, the Duck family was ingrained sufficiently in popular culture that a graphic symbol in the movie Corvette Summertime quips "Just phone call me Gladstone Duck" after existence lucky.^[ii]

In 1981, Barks was well into his retirement, but his stories remained popular and had gained him unexpected fame. He had given several interviews and answered questions about his personal views on the characters and their stories. Among other subjects, Barks described his early version of the family tree. Rough sketches of the tree were published in a number of fanzines and were appreciated by fans for the authoritative groundwork data this provided. At this betoken, Marking Worden decided to create a drawing of Barks' Duck Family Tree, including portraits of the characters mentioned. Otherwise, Worden made few changes, most notably adding Daisy Duck as Donald's primary love interest. His illustrated version of the tree was first published in several fanzines and later in The Carl Barks Library.

In 1987, Don Rosa, a long-time fan of Barks and personal friend of Mark Worden, started creating his own stories featuring Scrooge McDuck and his kin. Rosa's stories independent numerous references to Barks' stories and introduced original groundwork information. Later several years, Rosa gained a large international fanbase of his own. In the early 1990s, Egmont (the publishing business firm employing Don Rosa after Gladstone Publishing's initial run), offered him an aggressive consignment — to create the definitive version of Scrooge's biography and a family tree accompanying it. This was supposed to decisively put an finish to decades of seeming contradictions betwixt stories by different authors, which had caused confusion to readers. The project was to become the accolade-winning, The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, a chronology of ballsy proportions that spawned numerous other timeline stories, nerveless in a companion book. Rosa'southward Duck Family unit Tree accompanying the serial was first published in Norway on July three, 1993.

In the process of working on Scrooge's biography, Rosa studied Barks' old stories mentioning his by. And so he added several ideas of his ain. Among them were biographical information for Scrooge'due south supporting cast, besides every bit designing characters in the family that had but been mentioned past Barks, such equally Donald'south sister Della and Scrooge's parents, sisters and uncles.

In 1993, Don Rosa published his version of the Duck family tree as part of his 12-role comics series The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck.

Gretchen Coot (née Grebe) is married to Casey Coot, the mother of Cuthbert and Fanny Coot, and the maternal grandmother of Gus Goose.

Fanny Coot [edit]

Fanny Coot is the mother of Donald'southward cousin Gus Goose and she was showtime mentioned in the Donald Duck comic strip of May 9, 1938 past Bob Karp & Al Taliaferro where Gus kickoff appeared. But Gus's mother's surname was not revealed in this comic strip, where she identifies herself in a alphabetic character to Donald as "Aunt Fanny".^[43] So she was originally sister of ane of Donald'southward parents. In Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree she is featured every bit a daughter of Casey Coot and his married woman Gretchen Grebe, and then a niece of Elvira Coot, Donald's paternal grandmother, and first cousin of Donald's father, Quackmore Duck. It's possible to consider that Quackmore had a high regard for his cousin Fanny, and for this reason Donald was taught to treat her as aunt. Fanny likewise had a brother named Cuthbert Coot and she married Luke the Goose, and and so became the female parent of Gus Goose.

Cuthbert Coot [edit]

Cuthbert Coot was introduced in the story "Webfooted Wrangler," get-go published in April 1945, as a distant cousin of Donald Duck and a rancher. In Don Rosa'southward Duck family tree he is included equally a member of the Coot Kin as son of Casey Coot and Gretchen Grebe.

Kildare Coot [edit]

Kildare Coot was introduced past Italian creative person Romano Scarpa as a highly eccentric fourth cousin of Donald Duck in the story "Sgrizzo, il papero più balzano del mondo" (roughly translated as "Kildare Coot, the weirdest duck in the world"), commencement published on October 25, 1964. Though his exact relationship to Donald remains uncertain his last name suggests he belongs to the Coot Kin and that he is related to Donald through Elvira Coot, Donald's paternal grandmother. Curiously, Kildare normally treats Gideon McDuck, Scrooge's one-half-brother, as his uncle. He calls Gideon 'Zio', which means uncle in Italian.^[44] Kildare and his beau Andy Ascott (original Italian proper name) appear as reporters of Gideon's newspaper, The Cricket, in some Italian stories.

Goose family [edit]

Luke Goose [edit]

Luke Goose (sometimes called Luke the Goose) is the father of Donald's cousin Gus Goose. He was originally supposed to exist Gladstone Gander'southward father,^{[45] [46]} Daphne Duck'southward husband and Gus's uncle, but Carl Barks later changed his mind, making Goostave Gander (who was originally Gladstone's adoptive father later on Luke and Daphne "overate at a free-luncheon picnic") Gladstone's biological begetter and Daphne'south husband. Luke the Goose disappeared from the tree.

When Don Rosa created his Duck Family Tree, he used Luke Goose (removing "the" from his name) and made him the married man of Fanny Coot and Gus Goose's father.

Gus Goose [edit]

Gus Goose is Donald Duck's second cousin, and the not bad-nephew of Grandma Duck. He debuted on May 9, 1938, in Al Taliaferro and Bob Karp's Donald Duck comic strip, before making an blithe appearance in the 1939 brusk Donald's Cousin Gus.^[47] Because the animation studio took much longer to produce a film and worked with a schedule much farther ahead than the comic strip, Gus, similar Donald's nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie "beginning saw the lite of day" in the animation department, with the comic strip being based on the flick that was in-the-works.^[48] Gus's main personality traits are laziness and gluttony.^[47]

Within Disney comics, Gus is usually shown living as a farmhand on Grandma Duck's farm outside of Duckburg. Along with his gluttony, Gus is quite lazy, often doing niggling if any work on Grandma'south farm. He also has a tendency of falling asleep at random occasions, sometimes even standing up. On occasion Gus has fifty-fifty shown signs of ingenuity as to finding methods or solutions to make his chores much easier for him and at times even automating them then he does not have to work at all.

Gus made no appearances in DuckTales, but there is a background character in the series, Vacation Van Honk, who looks similar to him.

Gus appeared in the 2000s animated series Disney'due south House of Mouse, equally the lodge'due south gluttonous chef, speaking but in honks rather than words. He also fabricated non-speaking cameo appearances in both Mickey'south Christmas Carol and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

The friend and neighbor Gustav Goose from Quack Pack is probably not the aforementioned equally Cousin Gus since there are very few similarities (aside from the name and general size of the character). Some confusion is besides caused past the German comicbook version of Gladstone Gander existence referred to as "Gustav Gans" ("Gustav Goose").

In Danish comic book stories, Gus Goose has appeared every bit the boyfriend of a classy and rich anthropomorphic swan named Cissy Swann.^[49] In Italy, a nephew of him named Pepper appeared in two stories.^[fifty]

Gander family [edit]

Goostave Gander [edit]

Goostave Gander is Gladstone Gander's begetter. In some early stories he is married to Matilda McDuck, Scrooge's sister and adopted Gladstone and his brother and had a son, Osar, but Carl Barks subsequently had him married to Daphne Duck instead. They are considered the parents of Gladstone Gander; although his wife and son'due south luck does not include him. "Us Ganders have never sunk low enough to acquaintance with yous Ducks!", exclaimed Gladstone to Donald in "Race to the South Seas" by Carl Barks,^[51] suggesting that at that place is a mutual antipathy betwixt his father'south family and his mother'due south. In this same story, Gladstone exclaims, "Us Ganders take never worked!",^[52] what suggests that originally Gladstone's luck came from his begetter's side.

Gladstone Gander [edit]

Gladstone Gander is a Walt Disney fictional character created in 1948 past comic artist and writer Carl Barks. He is an anthropomorphic male goose (or gander) who possess exceptional good luck that grants him anything he desires as well as protecting from whatever harm.
