Disney comic artist and writer. He brought the arts of comic animal anthropomorphism and social satire to new heights. In his duck world, the adults (Grandma alone excepted) are alternatively driven and greedy (Uncle Scrooge), shiftless, lazy, but still greedy (Donald, Gladstone), incompetent (Donald especially), or eccentrically impractical (Gyro Gearloose). The children (triplets Huey, Dewey and Louie) are omniscient, level-headed, and always come to the rescue. The Uncle Scrooge tales also illustrate the fascination of ancient history, archaeology, travel, and adventure.
