Uncle Scrooge

DD's rich uncle

Scrooge McDuck is a cartoon character created in 1947 for The Walt Disney Company by Carl Barks. Appearing in Disney comics, Scrooge is a Scottish-born American anthropomorphic white duck. Like his nephew, Donald Duck, he has a yellow-orange bill, legs, and webbed feet. He typically wears a red or blue frock coat, a black top hat, pince-nez glasses, and spats varying in colour. He is portrayed in animation as speaking with a Scottish accent. Originally intended to be used only once, Scrooge became one of the most popular characters in the Disney comics world, as well as Barks' signature work. Scrooge is an extremely rich duck who lives in the fictional city of Duckburg in the fictional U.S. state of Calisota, whose claimed location is in real-world California, United States.
