LEGEND OF THE THREE CABALLEROS (2018)

Chapter Ten: Mt. Fuji Whiz

[okaystoptellingmetomakeanaccount]

from now on I will now see Clinton Coot as having always lived with the idea that he would never be good enough for his father, the person who founded duckburg and that the JW only exist because this mf had huge imposter syndrome or something like that

Thanks Jos and Michel (H 2023-372)

So... yeah. I updated mu fic... Is here in tumblr a latin duckblr community? xD My fic is in spanish so... For whoever is interested in some of these fandoms: The Three Caballeros (1944), Legend of the Three Caballeros (Cartoon), DuckTales (Cartoon 2017), PKNA - Paperinik New Adventures, Disney Ducks (Comics), here I leave the link xD

Cuando un Donald adverso a la magia se ve forzado a aceptar como herencia la cabaña de su bisabuelo Clinton Coot, un extravagante aventurero, para su mayor molestia, se encuentra con que la Cabaña y sus contenidos están destinados a ser compartidos con dos completos desconocidos.

La reunión de estos tres herederos provoca una reacción en cadena de eventos que pondrán en peligro, no solo a ellos mismos, sino a todo su mundo y más allá.

Comenzando con la liberación de una diosa atrapada en un Atlas místico, los herederos se verán envueltos en la búsqueda de los amuletos de sus ancestros que los llevará a rastrear su historia familiar para encontrar las respuestas a una promesa que lleva registro por generaciones; todo esto, al mismo tiempo que se preparan para aceptar el título de Caballeros, protectores de mundos.

Una amistad legendaria. Una herencia llena de deudas. Un viaje repleto de peligros.

Duckvember - Dead, Sleeping, Inner, Broken, Dapper, Jobless and Zealous Duck (Ducks) - Donald's classic shorts and The Legend of The Three Caballeros

This is going to be a long post, but I am posting my drawings that I have drawn in the past few days related to the theme of Duckvember in several ways. I drew mostly through redraw scenes, but in my own way in my own style.

The first drawing is actually a redraw of a scene from one of my favorite series "The Legend of The Three Caballeros" where the Three Caballeros hugged each other plus Clinton Coot, Donald's great grandfather who is sadly dead. Yes, it's from the episode "Mt. Fuji Whiz" where the Three Caballeros get stuck in the underworld, but luckily get out.

The second drawing is a redraw scene from the classic 1946 short "Donald's Double Trouble" in which Dapper Duck begs Daisy Duck instead of Donald, and I added Donald who is broken after seeing who is replacing Daisy's boyfriend.

The third drawing represents a redraw scene from the classic short "Donald's Dilemma" from 1947, in which Donald, after his head was smashed, completely changed his character and became a famous singer and avoids Daisy Duck and throws her a coin, but actually Daisy only wants Donald back. Yes, that classic short is very controversial because Daisy almost kills herself because she lost Donald. Eventually Donald returns to normal and Daisy Duck returns.

The fourth drawing represents a scene from the classic short "Donald's Crime" from 1945 in which Donald, who wants to propose and impress Daisy and who is unemployed, secretly takes a piggy bank from his sleeping nephews (Huey, Dewey and Louie).

The fifth drawing is a redraw of a scene from the propaganda classic short "The Spirit of '43" in which Donald is confronted with a good conscience (embodied in the good duck prototype Scrooge McDuck) and bad sin (embodied in the bad duck prototype Gladstone Gander) and who must understand that taxing the state is the only way to ensure the security and progress of the state as well as the supply of weapons, in the fight against the Nazis and other Axis powers. Yes, it's a propaganda cartoon drawn during World War II.

The sixth drawing is a redraw of a scene from the first Disney television series called "The Wonderful World of Color" in which Professor Ludwig von Drake is the main character and this is actually from a scene in "Inside Donald Duck" in which Ludwig is a psychiatrist and wants to solve the problems his nephew Donald has. Yes, it is from 1961.

Most of the classic shorts represented by these drawings were mostly directed by Jack King. I hope you like these drawings and these characters and that there are fans of the classic Donald Duck shorts.

So we have Clinton to blame for the Aracuan Bird.

[redkimmie]

the 11th set ! 😀

I'm back ! My god it's been so long, I blame college. Good thing I have something to show to make up for it. This time, it's more on the McDuck ancestors with some others. 😊

As usual, if you are unfamiliar with any of the faces, just keep reading 👌.

For this set, we have :

1.) Sir Slye McDuck(1st-2nd century) - ancestor of Scrooge McDuck. A sneaky medieval member of the Clan McDuck, Sir Slye MacDuich assisted King Malcolm II in 1018 in his conquest of the Angles as a spy.

2.) Sir Murdoch McDuck(11th century) - ancestor of Scrooge McDuck. For unclear reasons, Sir Murdoch held the local patent on longbows at the time. Thus, in 1066, when England was invaded by the Normans, the English Army signed a contract with Sir Murdoch McDuck so he could supply them with longbows not knowing that the arrows cost extra.

3.) Don De Pato(16th century) - an ancestor of Scrooge. McDuck. His Spanish ancestor who was in command of a treasure galleon covered in gold foil which he called "La Dorada". Later, he left the Spanish Armada in 1588. He was featured in "The Golden Galleon" illustrated by Tony Strobl.

4.) Frederico Von Pato - an uncle of Ludwig Von Drake. First featured in the totally contradictory "History of Duckburg" series. A friend to Gyro's grandfather Prof. Pardalto. Appeared in two stories with both being illustrated by Brazilian artist, Irineu Soares Rodrigues. He was given the unofficial English name "Friedrich Von Drake" by Gilles Maurice.

5.) Locksley Mcduck(18th century) - an ancestor of Scrooge. In around the 1700's, Locksley McDuck, decided to join rebelling outlaw Rob Roy to battle evil landlords such as Rob Roy. The partnership was, however, short-lived, for once they had robbed the rich, Locksley refused to conform to the proper Robin Hood tradition and give to the poor. His design here is based on an unknown ancestral ghost of Scrooge McDuck featured in Don Rosa's "The New Laird of Castle McDuck".

6.) Sir Donald Mcduck(15th century) - an ancestor of Scrooge. He was nicknamed "Black Donald" due to his foul temper. In 1440, Sir Donald invented golf, a sport that quickly caught on among the Scottish nobles. However, due to his temper which resulted in violent tantrums, King James II outlawed the sport in 1457.

7.) Upsy Duck - an uncle of Donald Duck. The peak of his career was becoming the first man to climb to the top of Mount Stratoshaft, in Switzerland. Unfortunately, while he was standing on top of the mountain, the wind caught his hat and carried it to the top of a small ice hill called the "Matterthorn" down in the valley. Upsy, due to the ice's slipperiness, was unable to climb to the top of the Matterthorn to retrieve his headwear, and he was disgraced. He was featured in a 1965 story "Mastering the Matterthorn" illustrated by Tony Strobl.

8.) Swashbuckle Duck - a great-uncle of Donald Duck. A big-game hunter, whose personality was transferred to Scrooge via a portrait as shown in the story "Outer Space Safari", illustrated by Tony Strobl.

• Characters such as Sir Slye McDuck, Sir Murdoch McDuck, Locksley McDuck, and Sir Donald McDuck are all creations of Don Rosa and were featured in the sketch-only prologue "The History of the Clan McDuck".

• Don De Pato would later be introduced in the animated show "Legend of The Three Caballeros" using the German name, Don Dugo. Although there is a big difference. In the original comic, he was only related to Scrooge McDuck but in the animated show, that relation was not shown and instead, he was an ancestor to Donald Duck through to his great-grandfather Clinton Coot.

Note : The portraits here may be changed a bit anytime which means that the portraits here are not the final version. If there's anything wrong here, lemme know 😁

The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck - Tribute to Don Rosa

I wanted to post this back in July, but for some reason it happened that I finished it until recently. Yes, I drew one before that, which you can see here:

This is my redraw of it, but in a different way and I'm posting it for reasons considering the censorship of Don Rosa comics that has been going on lately. It just needed a warning message about it, not censoring and deleting comics for stupid reasons. Overall, yes I have read The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck by Don Rosa and I can tell you that it is one of the best comics I have read so far. You have online available to read and if you have time for it. It's just a shame we won't be getting an animated adaptation of this, as today's standards don't allow it. :(

All in all, I drew this again, but differently, through the life of Scrooge McDuck from childhood, through the Klondike period to the period of old age. And around him are people who helped him a lot in his life starting with his parents Fergus and Downy, then his sisters Matilda and Hortense, his ancestor Sir Quackly McDuck, Ratchet Gearloose (Gyro's grandfather), Casey Coot (son of Clinton Coot and brother of Grandma Duck), Goldie O'Gilt (his love from the Klondike days), Donald Duck, Gyro Gearloose (with Little Helper) and Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck. I wanted to add more characters, but unfortunately not all of them would fit in one place. Yes, plus his first coin he ever earned.

I hope you like this drawing and I hope more people know about Don Rosa comics and read them. Also this is a tribute and related to Scrooge's 75th anniversary of his first appearance as well as his birthday which is in November. Yes, and also my gift for my friend @pick-and-shovel-laborer as well as other Scrooge McDuck fans and fans of Don Rosa comics. This is what this song is about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWwSVOo5K_k

Here's an unfinished artwork of Donald Duck's family tree, on his father's side! Sadly I realized my mix-up when I finished inking, I forgot to put a space or banner where I could put their names!!

I thought maybe I could just finish and color it anyways but I messed up the coloring bad so Imma just post this here, forever unfinished. Well, hope you like it anyways!

Here are their names by the way:

Cornelius Coot - Mystery Lady*

Clinton Coot - Gertrude Gadwall

Casey Coot -Elvira Coot(Grandma Duck) - Humperdink Duck (Grandpa Duck)

Daphne Duck - Quackmore Duck - Eider Duck

*So when looking up Donald's family trees I found out about Donald's potential Great-Great Grandmother who had a child(Clinton) with Cornelius Coot. The name I found for her was...uh, Pluckahontas. Ok. Not using that name, so Mystery Lady it is.

Apparently Don Rosa knew about her and suggested that Cornelius and her never married, so that's a little more info I suppose. But there's not much more info about her, if anyone's got more info let me know, I'm very curious.

Legend Of The Three Caballeros, 2018

[lunasnwg]

So here's a Donald Duck family tree that I've worked really hard on! 200+ members! (Please read below first!)

https://www.familyecho.com/?p=START&c=k1jruk506n&f=598320788233511472

Certain people being in certain areas may not be 100% but I put what was either mostly accepted as canon or what just made the most sense with what I was given/able to find.

Unfortunately, there were some ducks that I found that were in the family line, but not in a clear enough way to actually put them on the tree with the mechanics the website I used gives, so I was forced to leave them out.

There are also some characters in there that I don't really consider canon, like Seppi Deppi Duck, Upsy Duck, Cheeryble McDuck, and Dimwitty Duck (mainly these guys and Gladstone's siblings, he's definitely an only child) but I added them anyway because why not ┐(´ー｀)┌

Mad credit to the people who edit/make the fan Wikipedias for the Duckverse, they're doing God's work! I had to scroll through a shit ton of them, even branching out to some French and Italian ones.

I would've tagged more but there's a limit lol

If anyone sees something they find not quite right, tell me and I'll either fix it or explain why it's like that. Same with if you don't see a character, tell me and if I can find a clear link between them and the rest of the tree I'll add them.

Also I'd recommend using a computer or laptop to view this because, while it may just be me, for some reason it's really hard to scroll/navigate on mobile/phones (I have no idea why and didn't notice until I was making this post)

(I'm not putting Webby as Scrooge's daughter btw -_-)

The Legend of the Three Caballeros: Mt. Fuji Whiz and Thanks a Camelot Reviews: Thank God, No Daisy (Comissioned by WeirdKev27)

Saludos amgios and welcome to the final sprint of THE RIDE OF THE THREE CABLLEROS. If your wondering if this is a bit soon.. that’s because it is. While I planned to do the episodes as is before.. this bottom half of the series so far has been so good I couldn’t bare waiting days to get to the next episode just as things are getting really good, especially after the last episode’s cliffhanger. So today, I intend to FINISH the series, with an epilogue next week for my look at the cabs as a whole via a top 12 moments list. Plus i’m already excited for the next retrospective, so there’s that. And yeah Kev’s funding ANOTHER one and you can too.. serioulsy just shoot me an ask for any solo episode or arc you wan’t covered. But now’s not the time for shameless plugs, it’s the time for adventure and to sew up a cliffhanger! So come with me after the cut for some ghouls, ghosts and arthur won’t you?

PREVIOUSLY ON LEGEND OF THE THREE CABLLEROS:

And now the conclusion...

Mt. Fuji Whiz:

First off... let’s talk about the episode titles for the series since I don't think I have yet. 

It has bothered me for the ENTIRE run of the series how terrible most of them are. There all a pun of some kind on something involved with the episode.. but out of 13 episode titles the only ones I like are World-Tree Caballeros, No Man is an Easter Island, Stonehenge Your Bets, Nazca Racing and Thanks a Camelot. And most of them fit the theme of the episode with the exception of Stonehenge: World Tree is a clever pun they couldn’t NOT use, no man fits the theme of the episode as bad as that episode is, Nazca Racing is just another good pun and fits the race at the end, and thanks a Camelot while a very simple one, fits the story of that episode, i.e. everyone's dissatisfaction with Arthur’s training. More on that later. Point is the rest are just.. really cringe inducing puns. And I do LOVE a good pun.. but that’s a GOOD pun, not obvious ones about a “pyramid life-crisis” or a play on gee whiz in 2018 for god’s sake. And the finale title is just.. really awful as they gave up entirely and named it after square dancing for HOPEFULLY no adequate reason. And look the series is a comedy first with the action second, pun titles would be fine.. their just so bad it sucks all the pun out of them. See what I did there? THAT’S a pun. And not even a great one, but it’s still better than this. It feels like the titles were an afterthought and it’s obnoxious. and frustrates me every time I have to type them out. And with only four episodes left I had to get it out sometime. 

So moving onto the actual episode we pick up with the ending of last episode: Death killing the Cabs and Team Sheldgoose. And as we see shortly. he wasn’t bluffing. We pick up with them in the underworld in a dmv line. My god.. it’s even worse of a beaurcrcy than Beetlejuice. Feldrake informs the cabs where they are and Donald, being Donald, dosen’t have the patience to wait in line with the bilions of souls down there, especially since the take a number thing gave them a number that needed to be printed on both sides.. and their at 4. Good gag though. So Donald storms out the moment he sees and exit and our boys head into the city of the Damned. Sheldgoose meanwhile decides to do his best Karen and demands ot speak with the manager.. whose another Sheldgoose it turns out. Uh-Oh.  After the credits our boys explore the city and hoping not to get hit with more ghost cards, find shelter in a little tavern owned by none other than Clinton Coot, Donald’s Great-Grandpa and father of his grandmother Elvira Coot. Clinton initally mistakes the boys for their ancestors, and is disapionted in meeting donald, but once he learns their the ones that inehreted his Cabana, he’s exastic to meet and learn about them. We also learn he had a collection of fragile frontiersman figurines.. which cleverly, are all various versions of Scrooge from life and times. His second cowboy outfit from the side story “The Vigilante of Pizen Bluff”, his prospector outfit from “Terror of the Tranysval”, his klondike prospecter outfit and him finding the goose egg nugget from “King of The Klondike” and him bitterly hauling a sack of his loot into town from the same story. Also some palet swaps of all but the last one because animation is expensive. Panchito.. destroys them all while putting down his pIzza. “NOTHINGS BROKEN”. Clinton then invites the boys to have a sip of his memories, literally he drains some out and despite their relcutance the cabs take a chug.  They reveal prettty much.. every nagging question about the cabana. Clinton, after finding out about his ancestor Duego Duck, the original cabs version of donald, Clinton traveled the world and the 7 seas, everybody’s looking for something.. and he was looking for every trace of the cabs, and their mysterious ally, who we know as Xandra. He gathered all of it, hence the massive collection of books and magical treasures in the cabana, eventually finding their hidden lair and building his cabana on top of it, founding New Quackmore with Sheldgoose’s own great grandmother.. who betrayed him and took the institute from him. His consolation prize was finding Ari and the atlas but he couldn’t open it like the boys and is curious what they found. I absolutely love this and while I feel Clinton’s history would’ve worked better as an overaching mystery, there were seeds for all of this planeted throughout the season, with Sheldgoose being in charge despite the name and Clinton being involved, Shelgoose’s mention a sheldgoose has always been president, and the tease last episode. Still would’ve liked MORE exploration and build up to this , but what we got was facenating upgrading Clinton from a footnote on the duck family tree, to a throughly loveable character: A guy who was so fascenated by his ancestor’s adventures he became an adventurer himself and who lovingly catalogued eveyrthing the guy and his friends ever did.. and had some heartrending reasons why we’ll get to. 

 As Jose leads in with not what but WHO, and likely tells clint about their adventures, a clever way to get that exposition out off screen, we cut back to the world of the living. Xandra is beating herself up, if not literally over things, and while the girls just suggest going to the underworld via zoom point, Xandra points out that won’t work. There’s only one way in: Charon, the greek ferryman of the dead.. and she realizes that’s exactly how, while the girls try a seance.  I’ll just cover the séance stuff now. The girls hold a séance to summon the boys, finding some unfinished business (A piece of said pizza) and having ari dress like a fortune teller because eh why not. There’s some good gags and stuff, but it’s mostly plot irrelvant, only hurting Panchito’s brain at first, then summoning him just as their about to fight a Tengu, with humphrey eating the pizza finsihing the buisness. Not a bad plot at all and certainly refreshing after all the Daisy nonsense last episode, but nothing really important.  Meanwhile let’s also get to Xandra’s subplot, which is both mroe relevant and funnier and again i’ll be covering all at once for convience. Xandra finds that the horn to summon Charon... is now a sax.  Huh so THAT’S what pamela anderson’s character CJ was doing when she was introduced on baywatch. 

Anyways turns out Charon’s reinvented the old boat and since Xandra’s an immortal he offers her a free ride. It’s now a cruise ship with him as the captain, voiced by voice acting legend Jim Cummings who does a fantastic job. The reasonings also brilliant: he wasn’t getting many WILLING souls with his creepy old setup, so he reinvinted things and now has a packed house, plenty of coins and a nonstop party. He even gives us an add for the buisness... this whole thing is fucking amazing and deserves to be praised and is the series at it’s best: taking something mythic and giving it some wacky but still clever tweaks. Xandra eventually gets annoyed as he isn’t going into the city so she can’t look for the cabs and takes the wheel, cursing her to be the captain now, but she just uses that to get in and finds clinton who agrees to guide her to the boys... we’ll get to where he guided them in a moment. 

And that moment is now, Clinton tells the boys there is a way out, but it involves fighting the Tengu, which is misdentified as a falcon despite, even as someone with only a surface knowledge of yokai, I knew it’s modled after a crow, or at least some versions are as it turns out.. and so is the one here so how did they screw that one up?

Point is they need to get past it, and are on a timer as when the Creepy combination of jack skeltington and that moon from Majora’s mask that’s in the sky sets and night ends, their stuck. But first they run into a guard who says they have to fill out paperwork.. and his superior is intend on that, his superior being unsuprisingly sheldgoose, who got the gig since his family runs the afterlife. Oh goodie the rich also somehow run death....

But Donald decides FUCK PAPERWORK, throws it in the air and they run for it with Sheldgoose sicing the tengu on them, which looks awesome by the way. Panchito disappears as mentioned before just as they get a plan but returns in time to free his friends and they triumph.. only for Sheldgoose to not take this lying down and summon his entire family to kick their assses. So both sides power up: having learned the trick from clinton earlier, the cabs inflate.. part of their bodies while sheldgoose forms a voltron style fusion made up of his ancestor’s heads.. with the caveman as the crotch. 

So a fight insues that’s fluid and beautifully animated, and Xandra even arrives to provide backup, with Charon relieving her because he’ could loose his five star rating. I hear you man I struggled just to get my island up to a four. So it becomes a gorgeously animated and awesome fight with Clinton joining inn, finally able to be one of his heroes. He also reitarates something he told donald, that it’s not the journey.. it’s who you take it with and part of his love of the cabs was never having companions like that. Donald takes it to heart and our heroes take their leave, Clinton finally having achieved his lifes’ work. They decide to see japan because why not. Maybe they’ll run into hannibal there. 

And to tie things off, Shelgoose and Feldrake, whose spent the etnire epsidoe still in the staff depsite being dead and...

And find.. a demonic version of Donald in a devil costume, from that short with the devil and angel Donald's.. okay I have some questions. 

He sends them back and we’re out

Final Thoughts for Mt. Fuji Whiz: One of the series best. It’s well paced, has an amazing concept and both sideplots have some form of relevance while being utterly hilarious, especially the charon one. Seriously best bit character of the series calling it now. Already headcanon him as part of the ducktales universe. Along with a lot of this actually. IT’s good stuff and despite the series falts episodes like this prove why it really needed, and still needs, a second season. 

Thanks a Camelot:

Our heroes return to the land of the living with Xandra and to the Cabana, and while Donald wants to relax a bit, Xandra being an ass shoots that down. Though her reasons are valid: Feldrake has been stepping up his game with every scheme.. which is true. HIs last two schemes, not counting his post mortem one, only BARELY didn’t kill them and actually did kill them, and him too but that wasn’t on purpose. They need some good old fashioned hero training so Xandra’s taking the to king arthur and camelot, which of course are still around, to get it and since his training involves leaving everything behind, they leave htier weapons and other stuff behind including their amulets.. which haven’t come up since but are now since their important to the finale i’m guessing and they’ve been wearing the whole time. The girls are tagging along too as they want to document things because the plot says so but their entertaining so fine and leaving Ari and the Bear to guard. And the barrier.. more the barrier.  So with our heroes off Feldrake decides they need to strike and Sheldgoose has a plan to get around the barrier to get Humphrey’s spark: hide inside a cake and have humphrey so overcome by his desire for cake he comes to them. Feldrake is unimpressed but it works.. and even better as he drags them in.. but apparently while Feldrake’s protections are keyed to our heroes bloodline.. coot’s only extneded to feldrake. Which makes sense: he was friends with a Sheldgoose and probably didn’t consider her an enemy till he’d already set the spells, and cleverly, and i’d forgotten this till writing this review: Sheldgoose has already BEEN on the Cabana grounds once and to the doorstep, in the first episode when he visited the yardsale and in the finale of the second when he showed up to give Donald his check. So the show even showed it.. we just didn’t think about it or assumed having the ring meant he couldn’t now. But nope Sheldgoose is inside and Humphrey’s knocked out. 

Back in merry old Camelot, I apolgoize for having a deficit of spamalot and Monty Python refrences, our heroes meet King Arthur, voiced by former star of said spamelot John O’ Hurley, who I was going to give a good treatment and go into his career.. then I found out he’s VERY conservative, pro trump even post riot and generally kind of an ass in how he conducts himself soooo instead a hearty

Does a good job here, still a weasel fiesta. So King Arthur trains our heroes.. via motivational statments, trust falls and what not with his knights who get the same traning, one of which is Gallhad, a frog voiced by the same guy who viced Kermit on muppet babies. Yayyyyy. The girls wonder off, finding Merlin, whose busy with spells and such and clarfying which one is which. They give him june’s phone as Merlin has a video game addiction but Arthur forbids it because well. he has a problem why wouldn’t he.  Ruined Todd Chavez’s life it did. I mean it’s exceptional now but it took a bit of living on a drunken horse with serious issues couch. 

Anyways, Donald soon gets fed up because.. hes Donald. And because.. Tony kinda leans on the more classic constantly angry donald in this one, since he DID help write the lines. It’s not BAD mind you.. but I prefer the melding of his comics and shorts self other works did, the smug ego and everyman desperation to be noticed and liked from the comics mixed with the ego but also tons of rage of the shorts. Kinda like how Daffy had his own egotistical smartguy version merged with his screwball version for the Looney Tunes Show.. which i’ve been rewatching lately. Even better than I remember, highly underated. 

My point is this Donald, as we approach the end .. isn’t for me. He’s just not as intresting as the cloudcuckoolander panchito or the smootha nd wise jose. He ballances them well, being the more direct angry one to panchito’s unpredicablity and Jose’s smooth compemplation. He’s not BAD, and i get why some would prefer this one over Ducktales, as he’s more in line with his classic characterzation.. but I just prefer a more nuanced Donald and this one isn’t it. He spends most of the series either complaning, pissed off, or pining for an ungreatful she demon. There’s not a lot of notes compared to Jose or Panchito, as Jose isn’t just a ladies man or a charmer but a fairly smart guy who has pretty damn good plans and Panchito isn’t just spacey but, kind brave and with his own moral code. They just got more fleshing out as things went and Donald didn’t and it’s disappointing. 

So Donald gets fed up with the training, and calls out it’s only motivatoinal, with the other cabs agreeing, if more tactfully, and the knights.. also agreeing, pointing out King Arthur dosen’t even do his own goofy self motivational exercises and abandon him.. at the worst possible time as the girls conjur up a super powerful magical dragon. So the knights leave him to it and Arthur is too cowardly to face it. So the Cabs do what he won’t and charge in to defend the holy grail, called the grail of immortality here for ..r easons, and fight the dragon.. and Arthur joins them, inspired to finally get his groove back and gives the knights a rousing speech and even reconclies with donald. So our heroes fight the dragon and nearly die, before the rest of the round table pitches in, and the girls find the dragons scroll and impulsively burn it.. which destorys it. So the day’s saved, and Arthur apologizes to everyone and decides to give the boys proper combat training as thanks. Also we get a really funny bit with Merlin, who throws the phone into the fire.. and much like the dragon, apparenlty it was tied to the employee who activated it because he suddenly and horrifcly burns up. PFFT. Dark but beautfiul

But of course what about the Sheldgoose subplot. Well I saved that for now to cover it all at once SO: Sheldgoose pokes around, being annoyed by a dart board of his face and what not and tries to find something to fish the spark out with... but Ari finds him and proves to be entirely useful, beating Sheldgoose down into the treasure chamber and getting inot a fight with him. Sheldgoose holds pace.. until Humphrey wakes up and with the odds against him they throw him out. Meanwhile Feldrake zaps a dog that was going to get peed on him but when sheldgoose is ejegted is surronded by dogs and clearly didn’t escape as he dosne’t want to taklk about why he smells to sheldgosoe. He is ABOUT to berate him for failure again.. but Sheldgoose points out he swiped something more important: The amulets. 

Proving once again Sheldgoose is the real power in the team. 

Final Thoughts on Thanks a Camelot:  This was a fun one. While finding out about John O Hurley was... unfortunte.. he does a decent job and the episodes a fun take on camelot with, as usual , really excellent gags, pacing and a hell of a fight scene with a dragon. Good stuff as usual

NEXT TIME; It all ends! It’s a visit to some yeti’s before one final dance betwen good and evil and one last set of episodes for this retropsective! Be ready!

Hello, I'm writing a story where Grandma Duck has everyone in the family at her home, and they asks her to tell them a story. She proceds to tell them a love story about a forbittten romance. At the end of the story she reveals the couple is their family's ancestor. Who out of the existing Ducks do you think I could choose to be the couple? (and what should be the current Ducks reactions when they find out they are their ancestors?)

Hi, sorry for the late reply, but I think I answered this question before which you can read here: https://ducklooney.tumblr.com/post/753671286120644608/hi-im-creating-a-short-story-here-grandma-duck

However, when you mentioned the story of Grandma Duck, I would have mentioned her grandfather Cornelius Coot who was the originator of the Duck family we know today. Humperdink Duck is a descendant of his ancestors Don Dugo and Pintail Duck, while Grandma Duck has a special role, because her father Clinton Coot was the founder of Junior Woodchucks, while her grandfather Cornelius Coot was the founder of Duckburg. Yes, Elvira Coot (Grandma Duck) married Humperdink Duck. In the early 19th century, Cornelius went west to the Calisota area and founded the future town of Duckburg there and married a Native American duck. Although she was never named, some call her Pluckahontas. It can be said that their love has links to Romeo and Juliet and a mixed race love affair can be labeled as such. I guess that's what Grandma Duck meant when she told her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. There are also pictures of Cornelius and his wife, unfortunately I am not sure who the author is.

And if someone asks me, this is not Don Rosa, but some anonymous artist (artist who signed "M. W.") who did it for Don Rosa.

Yes, it can be said that it was a forbidden love, because they come from different people and Pluckahontas herself was the daughter of a chief of a tribe who did not want her to marry a white duck. However, they eventually got married and created their new family. Again that's just my theory and my guess.

I imagine that Donald and his nephews would be more in favor of being Native Americans after learning about their family tree, which is not surprising, since in the comics Donald's nephews often play Native Americans. They would have more of a spirit for freedom and what Native Americans usually have, a gift for nature and an understanding of animals.

Again, it is not certain if Clinton Coot was actually their son, as it is not known if Pluckahontas married Cornelius officially. Certainly, even if they didn't, they certainly felt for each other. At least in my opinion, but I think that couple would be the answer to your question.

And I'm glad that you asked that and that you are satisfied with my answers, to help you with your story. But by all means, if you have any other questions, feel free to ask me. Again that's just my opinion.

Clinton Coot

Clinton Coot is one of Donald Duck’s great grandparents. He is the son of Cornelius Coot, the founder of Duckburg. He is also the father of Elvira Duck (nee Coot) and Casey Coot and the founder of the Junior Woodchuck scouting organisation. He makes his first animated appearance in The Legend of the Three Caballeros, in which the first episode establishes that he was one of the original Three Caballeros and the founder of the New Quackmore Institute of Art, Culture and Science. He appears in a later episode as a ghost in the Underworld and helps Donald and his friends Panchito and José when they become trapped there.

In Shanghai Disneyland, Donald Duck’s Fore-Feathers (yet another Duck Family Tree) labels him as Clarence Coot, a reference to Donald Duck’s original voice actor, Clarence Nash.

Clinton Coot was named after the then-presidential candidate Bill Clinton.

Donald's girlfriend, Donald's sister, Donald's relatives and Donald's friends. - Duckverse characters

I will be posting some of my old drawings and I am posting new drawings related to certain characters from the Duckverse and the classic Disney universe from comics, cartoons and video games that I love and I am posting them separately.

The first drawing is Daisy Duck and yes Donald's girlfriend, and aunt to April, May and June, but definitely she is a special person that I love in the Duckverse. I drew her in Ducktales 2017 style in a beautiful dress, but in my own way.

The second drawing is Della Duck, Donald's sister and pilot and mother of Huey, Dewey and Louie. Although she had a role in the Ducktales reboot, she also had roles in comics, especially Dutch comics. I drew her combining the Ducktales reboot style with the Topolino style. Also, I was inspired by some drawings related to her,

The third drawing is Gyro Gearloose, a famous innovator who works for Scrooge, but helps Donald and his nephews a lot. He is also Donald's best friend. Yes, I drew him in the style of Ducktales in 1987. And there's Little Helper.

The fourth drawing is Fethry Duck, Donald's clumsy cousin who does all kinds of things just to somehow please others. He likes to help, but sometimes things go too far. Still, he's Donald's best cousin to me. I drew him in the style of Italian comics (Topolino).

The fifth drawing (new drawing) is the Gladstone Gander, Donald's lucky cousin. He is often lucky and annoys Donald a lot, although his luck is not always useful. He also has problems. Overall, I love Gladstone. I drew him in the style of Italian comics (Topolino) and he is wearing a four leaf clover as well as a horseshoe which symbolizes good luck.

The sixth drawing is Gus Goose, Donald's cousin who is often lazy and likes to eat and sleep. Although he annoys many, he is still useful to Grandma Duck where he works at her farm. Still, I love Gus. I mostly drew him based on the Italian comics (Topolino) and that he was eating his sandwich.

The seventh drawing is Grandma Duck (Elvira Coot), who is also the best parent in the Duckverse in general, because she took care of Donald, Della and her other grandchildren a lot. She is also strict, but she is also well-intentioned. I drew her based on the Italian comics (Topolino) and that she is holding a cake, as she likes to bake and cook cakes. She is also the oldest living citizen of Duckburg, although she lives on her farm and is the daughter of Clinton Coot, who founded the Junior Woodchucks.

The eighth drawing is Dickie Duck, Goldie's granddaughter. She is a very lively, exciting older teenage girl who works a lot and hangs out with her friends. Yes, she works for Brigitta and Gideon, but also helps Scrooge. She also hangs out with Daisy a lot. Plus she babysits Donald's nephews and Daisy's nieces. I drew her based on the Italian comics (Topolino).

The ninth drawing is Bertie McGoose or Grand Mogul, the leader of the Junior Woodchucks, also one of Donald Duck's best friends from childhood. He can be curmudgeonly, but mostly he does everything to help the Junior Woodchucks, in which Donald's nephews and Gyro's nephew Newton are certainly the most useful.

I hope you like these drawings and love these characters.
