“..And if I wasn’t calm and used my head, things coulda turned out differently. And of course, you know I don’t heed any danger!”

The reason I find this scene adorable is that Gladstone’s excitement over having an ‘adventure’ is real, and he feels he came out victorious from it, despite us knowing he did literally nothing to earn that feeling.
Of course, this is also the reason he comes across to everyone as arrogant.
Plus Gladstone is the only Duck who’d look so excited about almost being robbed/murdered.
holy smokes, it took a bit of digging to find them but you’re completely right! it basically outright says that the helmet turns folk nasty in The Golden Helmet (W OS 408-02), and even if Gladstone’s a bit of a pill in the Lost Charts of Columbus (D 94144) you couldn’t say that his behaviour is out of his usual character- and he clearly doesn’t care about owning everybody or making them do what he wants like the others. Maybe he does have an immunity to curses!
In which case, kind of makes me think my answer to this question-
might be that it’s a good thing that Scrooge has got a relative like Gladstone knocking about, just in case… ( though I think he’s been hoarding things like that for a looong time in the comics, so)
So we have a trio of relatives: One in red who knows a lot about a lot of stuff. One in blue, who is brave and tries to be cool. And the one in green… the evil one…
friendlytroll asked: Now here's a question: Gladstone's an aloof fellow. But his luck seems to operate regardless of if he wants it to or not. If he tried to completely not be around his family anymore, would his luck just HAPPEN to keep bringing them back into his life?
You know, I really do think it would? Also I love this and can totally see it as the basis for a comic.
this is so cute! thank you so much for posting it, I can get the gist of what happens just with the visual so don’t worry about the translation, it’s adorable!
