Carl Barks - Tumblr Posts
Finally finished this ! A personal project of mine . The Gearloose family tree !
Featuring characters made by Barks (Gyro & Lil Helper), Rosa (Fulton), Gervasio (Copernicus, Cartesius, etc), Mastantuono (Mad Ducktor) and others .
This was mostly based on the trees made by Marco Gervasio and Gilles Maurice .
As you can see, I made a lot of liberties on their designs .
Other characters that you might not know include :
•Prof. Pardalto - Gyro's maternal grandfather originating from the totally contradictory "History of Duckburg" series .
•Sonia Pardalto - Gyro's aunt, originating from Brazil .
•Uncle Euclid - Gyro's uncle, a bungling inventor according to INDUCKS . First appearance is on a Strobl story .
•Dana Data - Gyro's girlfriend, first appearance is on a story written by Janet Gilbert . Appeared on 2 stories, the other by Lars Jensen .
•Gadget Gearloose - Ratchet's twin, appeared in "The McDuck Journals" by Kari Korhonen in 2019 . Described as slightly odd, feels better to make him Euclid's father . I knew him in a scanlation which I forgot where I read it from (though I took a screenshot of it for reference) .
Note : I didn't include the other characters here since I don't know them to begin with and that they don't have a INDUCKS page or don't appear in any wikis .
Hope you like it ! 😁😁😁😁😁
It's the McDuck brothers ! (plus Mcfowl) 😁😁😁
I'm still here! Sharing here another two sets of portraits 😁
Some of you might be already familiar with this characters but for those who aren't, keep reading.
For the 3rd set, we have:
1.) Hortense McDuck - the mother of Donald and Della.
2.) Quackmore Duck - the father of Donald and Della.
3.) Fanny Coot - the mother of Gus Goose.
4.) Luke Goose - the father of Gus Goose.

6.) Humperdink Duck - Donald's grandfather.
7.) Cuthbert Coot - Donald's cousin, the son of Casey Coot and Gretchen Grebe.
8.) Gus Goose - Donald's second cousin.
— Cuthbert Coot is a creation of Carl Barks. Gus Goose first appeared in a 1939 animated short, "Donald's Cousin Gus" in which Barks is one of it's writers. Hortense McDuck, Quackmore Duck, Fanny Coot, Luke Goose and Humperdink Duck are created by Don Rosa based on earlier works (such as Mark Worden's family tree). Elvira Coot was created by Al Taliaferro and Bob Karp as Grandma Duck with Don Rosa later establishing her real name.
For the 4th set, which is just a redo of half of the portraits of my Gearloose family tree, we have:
1.) Martha Bird - the wife of Ratchet Gearloose.
2.) Anastasia Anatryn - the wife of Copernicus Gearloose.
3.) Gyro Gearloose - a well-known inventor of Duckburg, a friend to Donald and Scrooge.
4.) Fulton Gearloose - Gyro's father.
5.) Galileo Gearloose - Gyro's cousin, descendant of Cartesius Gearloose.
6.) Newton Gearloose - Gyro's nephew.
7.) Copernicus Gearloose - Gyro's great-grandfather, an accomplice of John Quackett/Fantomius.
8.) Cartesius Gearloose - Gyro's great-granduncle, the evil twin of Copernicus.
— Gyro Gearloose is a creation of Carl Barks while his father, Fulton, is of Don Rosa's. Martha Bird, Anastasia Anatryn, Galileo Gearloose, Copernicus Gearloose and Cartesius Gearloose are all created by Marco Gervasio. Newton Gearloose is a creation of Vic Lockman.
Note : Some of the portraits here were previously used in my other tree though if look closely, they're different. It is because I've changed it a bit. There's a chance that I might do it again which means that the portraits here are not the final version.
Now back with the 7th and 8th sets! 😁😁
This could be last featuring well-known Rosa and Barks characters so expect some potraits in future to be of obscure(kind of) characters. Again, if you're not familiar with some characters, keep reading 😊
For the 7th set, which just includes Scrooge's ancestors, we have:
1.) Sir Roast McDuck(1159-1205) - succeeded his father, Stuft McDuck, as clan chief, at which point Clan McDuck was one of the richest clans in Scotland, though that didn't last long.
2.) Hugh "Seafoam" McDuck(1710-1776) - was a McDuck ancestor who settled in Glasgow in 1727. Hugh turned to the sea for a living and became a successful merchant, though that didn't last long too.
3.) Sir Swamphole McDuck(1190-1260) - succeeded his father Roast McDuck as clan chief and inherited the clan's financial problems. Believed to have sealed the castle dungeons due to that.
4.) Sir Stuft McDuck(1110-1175) - was a successful chief of Clan McDuck who oversaw a period of prosperity.
5.) Sir Eider McDuck(880-946) - was the chief of Clan McDuck during an Anglo-Saxon invasion in 946.
6.) Malcolm "Matey" McDuck(1530-1564?) - was a McDuck ancestor who settled in England and is suggested to be a previous incarnation of Scrooge McDuck.
7.) Sir Quackly McDuck(1010-1057) - was clan chief when King Macbeth was killed in 1057. Quackly's ghost was an important figure in Scrooge's life.
8.) Sir Simon McDuck(1437-1509) - was the treasurer of the Knights Templar and hid their treasure beneath McDuck Castle.
— Sir Simon McDuck is a creation of Don Rosa and is featured in his story, "A Letter From Home"(2004). All others were created by Carl Barks, though some of them didn't made any physical appearances till Don Rosa.
For the 6th set, we have:
1.)-3.) Huey, Dewey, Louie - Donald's nephews, Della's triplets.
4.) Cornelius Coot - Elvira's grandfather, the founder of Duckburg.
5.)-7.) April, May, June - Daisy's nieces.
8.) Pintail Duck - Donald's ancestor, a companion of Malcolm McDuck.
— Huey, Dewey, Louie are characters made by Ted Osborne and Al Taliaferro while others are originally made by Carl Barks.
Note : Some of the portraits here were previously used in my other tree though if you look closely, there's some differences. It is because I've changed it a bit. There's a chance that I might do it again which means that the portraits here are not the final version.
Movie number 60: DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp (Bob Hathcock, 1990).
Inspired by Carl Barks’ Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck comics from the 1940s to 1960s, Disney’s DuckTales was a weekday animation series that premiered on US TV in 1987. The show proved a massive hit with audiences and critics, running 4 seasons and 100 episodes and spawned the 1990 theatrical feature film DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp.
The long form adventure stories of Barks formed the basis of many DuckTales episodes and would seem ideally suited to feature length adaptation. However for DuckTales the Movie an original story was created that drew upon both Barks and the stories of the Arabian Nights.
While treasure hunting in the Middle East, Scrooge McDuck and his nephews, accompanied by pilot Launchpad, housemaid’s grandaughter Webby and dubious guide Dijon stumble across a lost, sand covered pyramid in the Egyptian desert, resting place of the fabled Lost Treasure of Collie Baba. Among the riches is a seemingly worthless lamp which Scrooge discards but is rescued by Webby. Dijon, meanwhile, is in the employ of evil sorcerer Merlock who steals the treasure, minus the lamp and sends Scrooge home empty handed. On arriving home in Duckburg, Webby and the nephews discover the lamp contains a magical genie and before long Merlock and Dijon are back to secure the lamp for the sorcerer who wishes to use it for his evil doings.
The Barks-esq opening scenes of DuckTales are easily the movie’s best. The story lags somewhat in the Duckburg bound middle act but is back on form for an exciting climax drawn from the Arabian Nights and similar in execution to Disney’s own contemporarily produced adaptation of Aladdin (Ron Clements and John Musker, 1992).
The animation, while perhaps a step down from the classic Disney features is a notch up from the TV series and the voice work, particularly Alan Young as Scrooge and Christopher Lloyd as Merlock is excellent.
Underperforming slightly at the box office, there was to be no feature length sequel. The DuckTales franchise continued for a number of years, fittingly, in comic book form and was successfully rebooted for TV in 2017.
While DuckTales the Movie is not quite the adventure that Carl Barks aficionados may have hoped for, it is still an exciting, well executed fun movie. Treasure of the Lost Lamp is, indeed, a gem.
ROCK & RULE (Dir: Clive A Smith, 1983).
Rock & Rule is a futuristic, dystopian sci-fi rock musical from Canadian animation studio Nelvana.
On a post apocalypse planet Earth in which mutant rodents have displaced extinct humans as the dominant species, evil genius rock god Mok (voiced by Don Francks with singing by Lou Reed) plots to summon an inter-dimensional demon, presumably in pursuit of world dominance. In order to fulfill his maniacal plan he must engage the talents of Angel (Susan Roman with singing from Blondie's Deborah Harry), a young, ambitious singing mouse with the desired vocal frequency to open up a portal to the demon's domain. Kidnapping Angel and whisking her off to his lair in Nuke York, the pair are soon perused by Angel's fellow band members on a daring rescue mission. Yeah, I kinda lost the thread of the plot a couple of times, but what the hey? Hallucinogenics may help...
