Witch Brigitta is obsessed with seizing Scrooge's lucky dime, intending to use it to cast a lifelong love spell. Standing at the edge of the Vesuvius crater, she sees Scrooge staggering toward her, waving his cane. She thinks how wonderful it would be if he were coming for her instead of the dime.

The businesswoman Magica pretends to pursue Scrooge passionately, but in truth she is waiting for a chance to steal his business secrets and become the richest person in the world. Magica visits the vault again and again with flowers and gifts, and while reciting sweet words in Scrooge's office without so much as a blush, she is secretly stealing glances at the financial reports by his side.

Here's my Golditta propaganda, why ship them with Scrooge if you could just ship them together?

Another Negaverse concept– this time Donald Duck.

As the nephew of the infamous Scrooge McDuck– leader of the clan McDuck mafia– he’s known to have a terrible temper. However, unlike his happy sailor persona, he’s not known to worry about the consequences of his rage. Watch out, as this Donald is out for blood… a little too literally.

happy pride month!

(notes + sketch under the cut!)

this was originally supposed to be something i'd do a barely recognisable doodle of just to make my friend laugh but i ended up spending *checks notes* 7 hours drawing it out for real and then another 3 hours doing digital colours and lettering so i could share it here in time for the start of pride month! thank you to all my friends who encouraged me to keep going even though the concept was unhinged <3.

it probably needed an extra panel of Realisation but i had committed to this layout by that point.

side note, I like that there are two readings - either Scrooge pays for donald's testosterone (in the same way that he "pays for" donald's house) or Duckburg/Calisota has labour laws that require him to give him some sort of health insurance (since he's his primary employer).

of course, ideally Duckburg would have free healthcare, but when there are 3 billionaires who regularly try to influence politics, there are bound to be some problems with that.

I am IN LOVE with this Scrooge’s design from ‘uncle Scrooge and the infinity dime’

How he’s purely made up of purple with silver accents rather than the usual red, black and gold combo (also can’t tell if he has eyebags or if he’s gone full emo and has makeup on)

BUT THEN

You have his redeemed design which is so PRETTYY his colour palette is now made up entirely of warm colours! With white acting as the main colour rather than the usual red, and with the red now becoming an accent colour along side the golds and a new colour added on, orange!

His spats also look to be grey now instead of the usual blue, which…I do find kinda balances it out? A tiny bit, but I don’t think the design would change much if you changed it to red or white, but it’s a neat aspect nonetheless

He’s also so FLUFFYYYY🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 huge fan of when scrooge is just drawn super fluffy it makes him look cute🥹

Do you think Huey usually questions Scrooge methods or ideas of urban planning ? like it's the correct thing to build reliable public transit but Scrooge justification is not the same as Huey's.

This has turned into a much more complicated question than I thought it was going to be with far-reaching implications on Scrooge's backstory and his legal and financial relationship to the city of Duckburg. I actually now think Scrooge's money comes mostly from developing the city of Duckburg, and his company is largely a secondary thing even if it's more publicly visible- in fact, Scrooge became the richest duck in the world before he even founded his company.

The flashback at the beginning of The Richest Duck in the World shows that Scrooge gained the titular status in 1960. The flashback at the beginning of The First Adventure shows that Bradford and Black Heron founded FOWL sometime in the 60s, and FOWL was already an established and know threat when Beakley first met Scrooge on a mission against it in From the Confidential Casefiles of Agent 22. And Last Christmas shows that Beakley was present at the first McDuck Enterprises Christmas party, shortly after the company was founded, meaning that had to be after he made most of his fortune. This, of course, raises the question of how he could have made all that money without the company, and the obvious answer is from owning the city.

Of course, this explanation isn't without its issues. Ma Beagle, still very much alive in the present, was already around when Scrooge took over the city from the Beagle Boys, and there's no evidence her lifespan has been artificially extended like Scrooge's. However, there's ways around this. The Impossible Summit of Mount Neverest says Scrooge made his first million dollars 75 years prior to the show- i.e. the early 1940s. Adjusting for inflation, $1 million in 1942 is about $20 million today ($15 million in 2017), so he was absolutely wealthy enough to become a real estate developer before that. The basic timeline I'm coming up with here is that sometime around the 1910s-20s, Scrooge invests his gold rush money into real estate development in southern California (well, southern Calisota- the palm trees frequently seen in outdoor shots of the city and presence of a movie studio suggest Duckburg is in the Los Angeles area. I know the Germanic name doesn't really suggest LA, but one of the real LA's largest suburbs is Anaheim, so there's actual historical precedent there), and eventually gets so fed up of dealing with the local mob (the Beagle Boys) that he finds some underhanded tricks to take over the city from them. With pretty much the whole city of Duckburg, which I'm treating as a large suburb bordering on satellite city of LA akin to Long Beach, now under his ownership, he starts making loads more money off it, which he invests into other ventures until eventually he becomes the single wealthiest person on Earth. He eventually steps back from being as directly involved in Duckburg's governance due to increasing public concern about one man having that much power over the city, founding a regular company instead, but he's still fairly influential.

This could explain Duckburg's most unusual feature for an apparently SoCal city: it has what looks like a first-generation subway. In the US, the only cities that have those are Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago, and arguably Cleveland depending on how exactly you look at the Red Line there. While LA did have an extensive streetcar and interurban system including some underground segments, it was always more akin to a modern light rail system (like the one LA has now) than a full metro. The subway seen in Terror of the Terra-Firmians looks more like those early 20th-century systems in the east and Chicago than either the Pacific Electric or modern LA metro. Scrooge would almost certainly prefer transit-oriented development because a) it's a lot better return on investment for him as the primary developer and owner of the city if he doesn't have to devote vast swaths of land to highways and parking lots and b) Scrooge has Ideas about Work Ethic and Thriftiness that would not be compatible with universal private car ownership. He's also deeply stubborn and would likely resist efforts to redevelop his city more in line with the rest of SoCal even besides his financial objections to tearing down loads of perfectly good housing for entirely subjective aesthetic preferences even if he did share those preferences.

All that being said, I doubt the Scrooge of the show's time actually plays much of a role in the city's governance and development. Partly this is for the aforementioned withdrawal due to public pressure, but this would also be influenced, like everything in Scrooge's recent life, by the Spear of Selene. If investments in the city were Scrooge's primary source of income, then when Scrooge suddenly needed a whole bunch of cash RIGHT NOW to fund an emergency space program, the city would suddenly lose a whole bunch of long-term investment. It'd be a similar situation to Chicago around the same time leasing out its parking meters for 75 years for the revenue they generate in 10, except instead of being just straight-up corruption like in Chicago, here it's to fund the Della search. Transit would take a hit just like everything else. This might also explain why Scrooge, despite his whole thing being thriftiness, has a limo and full-time chauffeur even for local trips rather than relying on transit- the transit system ain't doing so well the last 10 years.

So, returning to the original question, Huey probably appreciates Scrooge maintaining Duckburg's transit and density at a time when all their neighbors were tearing it out, but he's also not real happy that Scrooge suddenly pulled his investments in it just after Huey was born. Of course, after learning why that happened, Huey would be pretty conflicted about it- it made life measurably worse for the people of Duckburg, himself included, but it was in an attempt to rescue his own mother, so how okay is it for him to be mad about it? But then, by the end of the show, that's all in the past. Scrooge has recovered his money, recovered his morale, and recovered his niece. Huey's probably started nagging him about reinstating his transit funding. Huey also undoubtedly has Opinions about exactly what projects that funding should go to, but it's highly unlikely he'd be able to have any real influence there. Scrooge is already on thin ice with the local transit agency after the sudden and drastic funding cuts during the Spear of Selene crisis, and there's no way they'd tolerate the brazen nepotism of giving his great-nephew control of the reinstated funding even before considering the fact that said nephew is, like, 12.

This turned into a much bigger thing than I expected with not much connection left to the original question, but I'd honestly never considered the full implications of Scrooge owning the city before and there's a lot to consider there.
