It always amuses me that Don Rosa, the dude that made the most famous contemporary comics of Scrooge, like the ode to settler colonialism "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck", was able to make these comics just because he inherited his father's construction business. Even then, in the aforementioned comics, he makes fun of Rockerduck for inheriting all of his wealth, unlike our hardworking McDuck!
Later Rosa threw himself on the cross because Disney screwed him over on the copyright and royalties on his comics. I wonder if he ever saw the irony; the real-life McDucks ate their propagandist's face!
Yeah, everyone knows the real creator of Scrooge (and for that matter the superior version of Donald) is Carl Barks.
