Hey, consider Ludwig Von Drake studying, analyzing, and memorizing every single myth and legend about Fortune, fate, and luck he comes across. Imagine him trying to find scientific basis for all of them, and his frustration when he failed to find it…
Picture him trying to explain the unexplainable, and devouring not only mythology books, but alchemy and magic books as well. He studies hexes, curses, and “birth gifts” like the ones sleeping beauty received on her own tale.
He would study all of that with his unpaired mind, but even then, he would not be able to explain his golden boy…he resisted the impulse to study the kid himself.
At the end, he realized that Gladstone was not to be study or explain, but to be loved.
And all was better from then on.
