Wanted to throw down a Goostave to match Daphne :D I know he’s a lil’ different from Don Rosa’s portrait but I wanted to make him look a little more like Gladstone while still being Very Much A Goose so yeah. Also the next doodle comic is in part me exploring Daphne and Goostave as personalities in their own right so I was exploring the character while drawing this :Tb
Anonymous asked: your duck doodle comics were the first I've ever read, and now I've read almost all of the Uncle Scrooge comics, from Just a Poor Old Man right up to the ones from 2014! I'm super grateful, I haven't had this much fun binging on comics since Sandman. I was wondering, what was the first duck comic you ever read?
oh wow! that’s fantastic, I’m so happy that you found the duck comics (and like them as much as I do, apparently!)- as for your question, it happens to be one that nobody knows the title for, because Barks never gave it one! but it’s often referred to as The Horseradish Treasure. I had no idea there were any disney comics until I found it in the library- and I read it expecting something like the Donald shorts I’d seen on TV, but boy I got a shock! It was so action packed and beautifully drawn, and the characters were so delightfully multifaceted (especially Scrooge) that I was absolutely hooked just from that one story.
this is heavily inspired by some amazing story making between @seagull-laugh-girl and I and my god I love it to death
a quick Scrooge-the-archivist sketch for Morgann Gicquel as a thank you for making the very excellent and gut-punching documentary The Scrooge Mystery. I love that Don Rosa now has his own ‘comic bin’ and we all know Scrooge has a penchant for cataloguing keepsakes from his lengthy life’s journey so I wanted to sketch something that gave us a look at that (wish I’d had more time to make the random stuff into specific objects referencing the stories but hey we gotta move on and keep drawing those new stories y’know?)
part two! and golly you folks seem to like this fluffy stuff huh :’D thanks for all the kind comments! I’ll do my best to keep improving <3
part one here! or read the whole thing full sized on my website here!
part one of two! this is kind of a filler but even so it took me forever… anyway, hence the uber scribble (and yes that is the same bg as in Arm Restling call me out on it see if I care)
masterpost of duck doodle comics on tumblr / read them on my website here!
Daphne Duck (aka Gladstone Gander’s mom!)
I like to imagine that she was this calm, kind, outgoing and joyful person but was also rather dreamy and disorganised- like a cross between Luna Lovegood and Phoebe from F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
Anonymous asked: Sorry, WHAT COMIC WITH GLADSTONE IN A DRESS
this one here! it’s a short silly one (that doesn’t quite fit with the Distelfink canon or my idea of Gladstone’s understanding of his luck) but I have a soft spot for it. in fact, I drop the painting that Gladstone wanted to get hold of in a couple of the doodle comics backgrounds :D
bc, you know… I’m a nerd…
