Personally one of my favorite things about the Donald Duck comics by Carl Barks, that no adaptation really touched on in meanimgful ways is each character's unique relationship with money.

Scrooge McDuck loves money, and he always tries to get more because just the act of earning money is fun for him, and he doesn't want to spend any of it, he's a saver.

Donald Duck always tries to get more money because he loves the pleasures money can bring him, he's a spendthrift.

Gladstone Gander doesn't value money or hard work because he can get his way with just his luck. He actually views work as something shameful.

Gyro Gearloose doesn't really value money because just the act of working and inventing new stuff brings him joy.

The Beagle Boys want to become rich for a purely financial reason, and the best way they can do it is by robbing Scrooge.

Glomgold is very much like Scrooge in the way he saves his money and is proud of it, but even since his very first comic it's implied he hasn't made his money honestly, unlike Scrooge. And additionally his goal is not simply to get richer but to prove he's richer than Scrooge.

It can also be said to some villain goals.

The Beagle Boys trying to steal the biggest part of Scrooge's fortune.

Magica De Spell trying to steal the smallest part of Scrooge's fortune.

Glomgold trying to surpass Scrooge's fortune.

And more random villains like Chisel NcSue trying to get Scrooge's fortune via legal methods (hence the Sue in the McName).

Overall I think this detail really makes the Barks comics more cohesive and interesting, and it's a shame we haven't really gotten a proper representation of it

I was always kinda confused on whether Chisel McSue is a dognose or not.

It’s mostly the ears. Then again dognoses can have human ears or droopy dog(?) ears so why not more variety...

Some sources say McSue is a fox so idk. I don’t ever remember that being mentioned in the comics... Maybe he is in fact a foxnose.

(Also some artists/colourists definitely make him furrier)

No posts about Chisel McSue on tumblr? Is that purely because the furries haven’t noticed him yet..?
