Welcome to the Greatest Stories Never Told! Today we're taking some time to talk about one of Disney's greatest and most lasting creations - Uncle Scrooge. Not only is Scrooge McDuck one of the most beloved of all Disney characters, but he's one of the very few extremely profitable characters created for mediums other than animation from the early days of Disney that's managed to survive the test of time. Scrooge was created and defined by an extremely prolific and much beloved cartoonist, Carl Barks. Barks created lush tales of Scrooge, his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and their father Donald. He created a fictional place for the adventures to take place, originally Duckburg, and then he created an entire world. Scrooge set sail on the high seas, explored mummy's tombs and traversed deep into the treacherous jungles of the amazon. Barks created a universe for his characters to inhabit, something basically unseen in those days for basically any medium. Flash forward several decades and there is a new cartoonist on the rise, a man named Don Rosa. Rosa is making a name for himself literally picking up where Barks had left off with the Scrooge universe decades before. He's not shyly winking, or borrowing though, no - he's literally dedicating every story that he writes to Barks. The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck is without a doubt one of the high watermark accomplishments within the comic book and cartooning field. The R. Crumb underground sensibilities that Rosa brought with him, teamed with an undying love of Barks' original material created magic. One of the most memorable public feuds in comics, lets take a look at Don Rosa, Carl Barks, and the feud for Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge legacy!
