Address: After leaving Scotland she lived in
Duckburg at least until 1930. What

covering the period after 1930 one
can assume that she and the rest of

Anka In the period 1861-1865 there was a bloody civil war
in the USA in which the Mississippi area was one of
the important battlefields, with the battle of Vicksburg
(July 1863) as the most important battle. When asked
if "Pothole" was somehow involved in the war on
either side, or if he perhaps made profits from the
war - money later used to buy the stern-wheeler
"Cotton Queen", Don Rosa says: "This is possible,
but I can't imagine that I would do a story
involving the Ducks with a war... especially not a
war as hideous and bloody as the American Civil
War!"
In The Great Steamboat Race from 1955 Carl Barks
shows that in 1870 Angus and another riverboater,
named Porker Hogg, ended up in a race to settle the
ownership of the estate of "Cornpone Gables", but
the race ended with a draw since none of them were
able to finish the race. Angus' river boat at that time
was the stern-wheeler, Cotton Queen.
In the period 1880-1882 his nephew Scrooge joined

him. By then Angus had another river boat called the
"Dilly Dollar" which he claimed was "the fastest
steamer on the river!" The two first met in Louisville,
Kentucky (when asked about why Louisville? Don
Rosa says: "Well, that's where I live, so why not?
Besides, in 1880 it would have been one of the
main ports in the Mississippi River system. And
the reason for that was that all river traffic had
always been forced to stop at Louisville due to
the Falls of the Ohio which are located here (or I
should say, Louisville is located at the Falls).
Those waterfalls, the only such feature in the
Mississippi system, would add an authentic bit of
danger to the story. Of course, the "Falls" are
actually just a series of rapids, not a single drop
as I show in the story."
In 1882, After tutoring Scrooge for two years Angus

sold the "Dilly Dollar" to the lad at a bargain price. At
first that made Scrooge wonder if his uncle was a
real McDuck, but after a while, when the railroad
started to take over the business from the
steamboats, Scrooge realised that Angus knew very
well what he did.
As for Angus, he retired to New Orleans where he

started writing dime novels about his adventures. In
The Vigilante of Pizen Bluff Don Rosa shows that
in the early 1890's he dealt with a great Western
show including Buffalo Bill and the Apache chief
Geronimo.

know is that at some time in the mid-1940's his three
nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie moved in with him.
Donald Duck has trough the years tried all kinds of

jobs without much success. This is though more
caused by constant bad luck and stubbornness than
a lack of talent. It however seems that his Uncle
$crooge always has something for him, like shining
his coins.
In An eye for detail and more recently in The

Dutchman's Secret Don Rosa shows that Donald is
an expert in detecting very small details. This is why
he so easily can separate HD&L from each other
while for instance the people in "Plain Awful" think
that the boys are totally alike each other.
Once Donald built his own car (registered with the

number 313) from spare parts. He has used it ever
since.
Donald has a rumour for being a "difficult" neighbour.

His fights with his neighbour J. Jones are matter of
discussions all over Duckburg. Donald is also known
for fights with his own cousin Gladstone Gander over
Donald's girlfriend Daisy Duck.
In the private Donald raises his three nephews Huey,

Dewey and Louie Duck, with great success. He's
also known as a good cook with pancakes as his
speciality.

Swedish: Alexander Lukas adoption. Even though it's not shown in his family
tree, Don Rosa also think that Matilda McDuck

Barks has shown that Gladstone has tried only one

job in his entire life. Afterwards he was so ashamed
that he was hiding his salary (one single coin) in a
safe that he probably won some time.
In The Sign Of The Triple Distelfink Don Rosa

shows that the extreme luck that is connected to
Gladstone (and also to his mother Daphne) is caused
by a Triple Distelfink sign that old Humperdink Duck
hired a man to paint ahead of one of the barn doors
the day Daphne was born. On one of his birthdays
when he was still a kid (sometime in the 20's),
Gladstone was almost hit by a lightning after Donald
had him hang after a rope, ahead of the opposite
barn door with an upside down Triple Distelfink sign
painted ahead of it. Because of this he always
experienced an extremely bad luck on each birthday.
However this curse was ended when Gladstone was
almost hit by another lightning when hanging after a
rope (again caused by Donald) ahead of the barn
door with the normal Triple Distelfink painted ahead
of it. From then on Gladstone has been followed by
extremely luck every single day during the entire
year.

unknown and unrecognized by him in their later

On the other hand, we have no indication that
Flintheart doesn't already know $crooge in that
tale -- in fact, the cool manner in which Flintheart
receives $crooge could be inferred as a sign that
Flintheart knew who he was, and knew he was on
his way to Africa, having met him on the ship
coming over... I see Flintheart as a match for
$crooge (his youthful inspiration) in every way --
they both started from nothing and made their
fortunes by "being sharper than the sharpies and
smarter than the smarties"... but the difference is
that Flintheart didn't "make it square". He's
dishonest, and perhaps downright murderous (as
opposed to the Beagle Boys who are more good-
natured baddies)".
Barks never said anything about where Flintheart has

his origin, so he may have been born in Scotland and
emigrated to South Africa at a young age, like
$crooge emigrated to America. Anyway, in "The

Brutopia
Name: Brutopia
Location: According to Don Rosa Brutopia
occupies the eastern third of Russia
(Siberia), like Calisota is the northern
third of California. There is a
Brutopian consulate in Duckburg.
Founded: Unknown.
First 1957 in A cold Bargain
appearance:
Created by: Carl Barks.
Description: Brutopia is a caricature of the former
U.S.S.R. and the Brutopian in the
Barks classic "ColdBargain" is a
caricature of Nikita Khrushchev.
According to this Brutopia is ruled by
a very hostile government. It seems
that their goal is world power. It's

methods necessary to gain world
power, including stealing others

Portuguese: Brutpia (in Brazil).
Brutondia Nothing much is known about the history of Brutopia.
Spanish (in Spain):
All we can say for certain is that the country is ruled
Swedish: Brutopien by a very hostile and aggressive government. In two
stories by Barks there are presented two different
Brutopian flags. This may indicate that Brutopia was
hit by a revolution or more likely a coup d'etat
sometime between 1957 and 1965, perhaps a link to
Leonid Brezhnev's take over in the U.S.S.R. in
1964?
A funny detail in Don Rosa's Attaaaaaack! story

from 2000, is that the Brutopian spy rented a luxury
hotel room at the local Ritz's top floor. Traditionally,
that's what the Soviets used to do during the cold
war. Don Rosa also shows a Brutopian Sputnik
falling down from the sky, in The Curse of
Nostrildamus story from 1989.
When asked if he has ever thought about sending

the Ducks on an expedition to Brutopia Don Rosa
says: "...that would be a tricky subject, with
politics and insulting references to nations where
Egmont now publishes Disney comics. But I
might try it someday."
