Drawing every character trom the Carl Barks comics, part ten: Magica De Spell.

She is a major villain from the Scrooge McDuck comics, created by Carl Barks. She is an evil sorceress who first appeared in Barks' 1961 comic The Midas Touch with the goal to obtain Scrooge's Number One Dime, in order to be able to make an amulet that will give her the Midas Touch.

She lives on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, next to Naples, Italy. Her primary motivation is to steal Uncle Scrooge's Number One Dime and melt it in the fires of the volcano to turn it into a powerful magical amulet, capable of granting the Midas Touch to whoever wears it and allowing them to turn anything into gold.

Unlike other people who think the Number One Dime to be a lucky charm, Magica doesn't believe it to be the source of Scrooge's wealth, but Scrooge's wealth to be the source of the dime's powers, as she only tries to steal it because it's the first coin ever earned by the richest duck on Earth, and has been touched frequently by him.

She sometimes teams up with the Beagle Boys or her good friend and sometimes housemate Madam Mim. She also has a raven named Ratface in the comics. Other characters closer to Magica include her grandmother, Granny De Spell, who, although claiming to be one of the most powerful of witches, has been no more successful in obtaining the Number One Dime.

She has on more than one occasion used disguises to get closer to Donald Duck and even Gladstone Gander so she can access Scrooge's dime, only for it to backfire when she inadvertently falls in love with them and chooses to retreat.

Magica was a recurring antagonist in the TV series DuckTales, where she was voiced by June Foray (using an Eastern European accent similar to that of Natasha Fatale from Rocky & Bullwinkle, who was also voiced by Foray).

She appeared mostly in the first season of the series, with her only appearance in the third season being in the episode "The Unbreakable Bin".

Magica appears as the main antagonist of the reboot's first season, although she was first revealed at the end of "The Beagle Birthday Massacre!" This incarnation of Magica speaks with a British accent instead of a Russian accent, as well as having green-blue feathers (due to the effects of magic), slit slice-like pupils, and a more lanky design in a callback to her first appearance in the Carl Barks comic The Midas Touch.

Drawing every character from the Carl Barks comics, part nine: Cuthbert Coot.

He is Donald Duck's cattle rancher cousin, who was introduced in Carl Barks' 1945 comic story "Webfooted Wrangler"

In Don Rosa's Donald Duck family tree (first published in 1993), he is included as a member of the Coot Kin and more specifically as son of Casey Coot and his wife Gretchen Grebe, which makes him a nephew of Grandma Duck, a brother of Donald's Aunt Fanny, a first cousin of Quackmore Duck, a first cousin once removed of Donald Duck and an uncle of Gus Goose. (Hope you guys followed all of that lol).

Drew Winnie the Pooh in the style of an old 1940’s cartoon!

Drawing every character from the Carl Barks comics, part eight: Cornelius Coot.

He is the founder of the city of Duckburg, and a historical hero to the residents of Duckburg.

The statue of him first appeared in the Donald Duck comic Statuesque Spendthrifts (1952) by Carl Barks. Here, Scrooge and the rich Maharajah of Howduyustan compete at building the largest statue of Duckburg's founder, in an attempt to prove which of them is the richest. This results in Duckburg being filled with increasingly more gigantic statues of its founder. Barks re-used Coot's statue in Statues of Limitations (1957), and The Day Duckburg Got Dyed (1957). Coot's statues have since become an iconic aspect and recurring location in the stories, can be spotted in numerous comics taking place in Duckburg.

In a later story by Don Rosa, Cornelius was said to be the grandfather of Grandma Duck, which would make him Donald Duck's great-great-grandfather. However, Coot was not related to Donald in Barks' original stories.

Drawing every character from the Carl Barks comics, part seven: Azure Blue.

He first appeared as an evil miser in 1952's The Golden Helmet in Donald Duck Four Color #408. In that story, he was revealed to be a descendant of Olaf the Blue (Vikings discovered America according to that story) and he wanted to find a Golden Helmet so he can be king of North America and make everyone on the continent his slaves, but Donald Duck and his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie wouldn't let that happen. Azure was assisted by Lawyer Sharky.

Later on he was used by Don Rosa as he made a cameo appearance in 1989's Return to Plain Awful when he sees off the disguised Scrooge McDuck and Donald Duck and his three nephews at the Duckburg Airport in Donald Duck Adventures (Gladstone Series) #12 (This story was reprinted in Uncle Scrooge number 362, February 2007), Nobody's Business (Printed in Uncle Scrooge #220, 300 and The Don Rosa Library of Don Rosa in Color and in The Lost Charts of Columbus in Donald Duck Adventures #44. In that story, Donald and the nephews had to find a more valuable treasure than the Golden Helmet.

Azure's kinship to Olaf is questionable, since his lawyer, instead of showing evidence of it, asked for evidence in contrary from whoever doubted Azure to be descendant of Olaf. When Donald and the nephews found what Blue and Sharky believed to be evidence that a Phoenician prince named Hanno and his kin are the real owners of North America, Azure renamed himself Azure Hanno Blue. It can make people think Blue to be a surname Azure gave himself in order to claim to descend from Olaf in the very first place.

Azure also made a few cameo appearances in "Nobody's Business", "Return to Plain Awful", and the DuckTales comic "Rightful Owners".

Drawing every character from the Carl Barks comics, part six: Blackjack the Bear.

He is Glittering Goldie's pet bear. He acts as a watchdog of Goldie's claim. He first appeared in Carl Barks' comics Back to the Klondike (1952) and made his animated debut in the DuckTales adaptation of the same name.

[charlestheartwizard]

Drawing every character from the Carl Barks comics, part five: Grandpa Beagle

Also known as Blackheart Beagle, he is the grandfather, founder, and sometimes leader of the Beagle Boys. He first appeared in the 1957 Carl Barks story The Fantastic River Race (as Blackheart Beagle) and 1958's The Money Well (as Grandpa Beagle).

In Scrooge's flashback in The Fantastic River Race, Blackheart Beagle looks very similar to his children and his present-day grandkids, albeit with a long, twirly mustache, a black and blue uniform, and sailor hat. In The Money Well, Grandpa Beagle appears as an elderly Beagle Boy with the number 186-802.

In Italy, Grandpa Beagle became a recurring character, starting of in 1962 when Rodolfo Cimino depicted him as the Beagle Boys' leader, in the comic Zio Paperone caporale d'assalto. In Italian stories, Grandpa Beagle's plate/tag has the word "Grazia" instead of a prison number.

According to the story Racconti d'evasione - La fuga della vergogna, Grandpa was attempting the most daring and smart escape from the highly secure penitentiary of Sing-Sing-Sing, but having to play the part of the good prisoner to earn trust in the guards, he was released for good behavior just the day before he could act his master plan, much to his humiliation, earning said plate (and to add insult to injury, his cellmate would steal his plan and become famous for it).

Sometimes he is portrayed in the same physical shape as his grandkids, most of the time he's thinner than them, and he's always holding a smoking pipe.

Whereas Blackheart and Grandpa Beagle were two separate characters in the works of their creator Carl Barks, they were the same person in Don Rosa's work. Under Rosa, Blackheart is Scrooge's oldest nemesis, and one of the greatest villains in Duckburg, even capable to assemble an alliance of Scrooge McDuck's enemies in the 1997 story A Little Something Special.

Drawing every character from the Carl Barks comics, part four: The Beagle Boys!

They are an organized crime family whose ultimate goal is to rob Scrooge McDuck of his fortune. Inspired by the real-life Barker-Karpis criminal gang, they first appeared in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #134, in the Carl Barks comic Terror of the Beagle Boys.

When not serving as the central threats, the Beagle Boys often appear as henchmen for Flintheart Glomgold, Magica De Spell, Pete, and the Phantom Blot.

In the comics, the individual Beagle Boys are referred to by their prison numbers, indicated on the tags seen on the chests of their distinctive red shirts, which appeared as orange in the comics. The three most common numbers are 176-167, 176-671, and 176-761.

In later years, they appeared in the comics as a trio (some combination of the most common numbers with 176-176, 176-617, and 176-716), plus cousins and other relatives of various talents as spin-off characters. They live in a small tumbledown hide-out in Duckburg.

The Beagle Boys have lots of relatives who count each other as brothers and cousins: apart from their mother Ma Beagle, there are the Beagle Brats (their rascal nephews), the Beagle Babes (a trio of female cousins), and their grandfather Grandpa Beagle. The brains of the Beagle clan are Intellectual-176 (or I-176) who wear a mortar-board cap and glasses over his black mask.

According to a flashback sequence in Carl Barks' The Fantastic River Race, Scrooge's rivalry with the Beagle Boys goes back to his Mississippi riverboat days. Those Beagle Boys include Blackheart Beagle and his three unnamed sons. Since then, the Beagle Boys have been a constant threat to Scrooge's huge money bin.

Drawing every character from the Carl Barks comics, part three: Barko. He is inspired and based on the famous sled dog Balto!

He was once a great sled dog and "champion of all the North". However, as he reached old age, he became unwanted and stricken with rheumatism. He spent most of his retirement at a hardware store that used to rent/sell sled dogs.

It wasn't until the crooked Soapy Slick threatened to take the fortune of Scrooge McDuck because of an I.O.U. from 1898 that Barko was needed. Scrooge had proof through a receipt, but because of a fight upon the plane with a disguised Slick, Scrooge's bag (along with the receipt inside) fell near the Frozenjaw River. Scrooge needed a sled team fast, but the only good team left was in Slick's possession. Upon seeing that the only two dogs left were "Kyoodles", Scrooge then discovered Barko in the snow. The two instantly befriended each other, and thus, the quest began.

The team soon caught up with Slick's team, thanks to Scrooge helping Barko, whose rheumatism was threatened by the rolling hills. Slick then dropped off drugged fishes to knock out Scrooge's team. Scrooge discovered this, but then succumbed the fumes of the drugged fish himself. Barko was the only one unaffected, and bravely pulled the sled by himself, along with the Kyoodles and Scrooge aboard.

Later that night, Scrooge awoke to see that his sled dog buddy had pulled the whole way. Scrooge then volunteered to pull while Barko slept on the sled the rest of the way. The team then caught up with Slick's team by the Frozenjaw River's icy shore. Slick saw Scrooge, then fired his pistol sending the old duck quadzillionaire into the icy waters. Barko rescued his friend just in time. As the sled crashed through the ice, Barko was pulled under just as Scrooge made it near where his receipt laid at the mercy of Soapy Slick. Scrooge then did the unexpected, and saved Barko instead of his fortune. Upon the cracks of ice, Scrooge and Barko ("It's all right, old fellow! We sort of belong on this ice cake together!"). All seemed lost until Huey, Dewey, and Louie showed up with Poly Poly, a polar bear cub raised by the Arctic Patrol of the Junior Woodchucks. Poly Poly rescued the two friends, and just as Slick got the receipt, news reporters, courtesy of Donald Duck, arrived before he could rip it.

In the end, Scrooge got to keep his great fortune, while Barko and Poly Poly became famous animal heroes. Once again, Barko's potential was recognized thanks to Scrooge, and he reclaimed his title as the Champion of the North.

Drawing every character from the Carl Barks comics, part two: April, May, and June!

They are Daisy Duck's triplet nieces and are the female counterparts of Huey, Dewey, and Louie!

The first appearance of the trio was in the 1952 comic story Flip Decision by Carl Barks, in which they can be seen when Daisy is visiting her sister, the nieces' mother, who remained unseen. In the final panel, they appear with Huey, Dewey, and Louie as their escorts.

After Barks introduced the girls in Flip Decision, they continued to make rare appearances in Barks's stories, but there were some they did play important roles.

Their first appearance after their introduction was in 1958's The Double Date, six years after their debut.

The 1966 story The Beauty Business, in which the nieces help Donald with his failing beauty salon, marked their final appearance in Barks' comics.

Drawing every character from the Carl Barks comics, part one: Scrooge McDuck.

Starting off strong with this one! He first appeared in the 1947 comic story Christmas on Bear Mountain.

In his debut, Scrooge was a bearded, bespectacled, reasonably wealthy old duck, visibly leaning on his cane, and living in isolation in a "huge mansion".

Scrooge's misanthropic thoughts in this first story are quite pronounced: "Here I sit in this big lonely dump, waiting for Christmas to pass! Bah! That silly season when everybody loves everybody else! A curse on it! Me-I'm different! Everybody hates me, and I hate everybody!"

(Fun fact! In 2007, Forbes listed his wealth at a much more modest $28.8 billion, and in 2013 it was recounted again to $65.4 billion!).

Edit: He actually has over one multiplujillion, nine obsquatumatillion, six hundred and twenty-three dollars and sixty-two cents!

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR STAYING WITH ME THROUGHOUT THIS ART JOURNEY!! ! had lots of fun drawing Floyd Gottfredson comic characters!

Some were easy to draw while others were a bit challenging

Maybe next I'll do the Carl Barks comic characters!

LAST PART!! Drawing every character from the Floyd Gottfredson Mickey Mouse comics, part twenty four: Captain Churchmouse!

He was introduced in the 1933 comic storyline Mickey Mouse Sails for Treasure Island! In the story, he was found by Mickey Mouse on a deserted island, but Churchmouse lost his memories and named himself Shakespeare.

Later, when he regains his memories, it is revealed that he was the captain of a ship that Sylvester Shyster and Pete were crewmates on. Shyster and Pete caused a mutiny and deserted Captain Churchmouse on an island.

[charlestheartwizard]

Drawing every character from the Floyd Gottfredson Mickey Mouse comics, part twenty three: Mr. Slicker.

He is an early precursor of Mortimer Mouse who appeared in the 1930 comic story Mr. Slicker and the Egg Robbers.

He is a a rival suitor for Minnie's affections in the form of a lanky city mouse whose debonair behavior hid a conniving personality.

In the story, Minnie Mouse's father is in danger of losing his ranch eggs. Mr. Slicker offers aid in return for Minnie's hand in marriage, and Mickey suspects him, but Slicker frames Mickey for the thefts.

In the end, Mickey stops the wedding and proves it was actually Slicker who was behind the thefts.

[charlestheartwizard]

Drawing every character from the Floyd Gottfredson Mickey Mouse comics, part twenty two: Captain Doberman.

He was introduced in the 1933 comic strip story The Mail Pilot! In the story, he learns that many planes have disappeared without a trace, and eventually his own plane is swallowed by a huge dirigible owned by Pete and Sylvester Shyster. Gloomy the Mechanic and Mickey help out Captain Doberman who becomes the head of the Secret Service.

He has made more appearances in seven other comic strip stories such as 1934's The Captive Castaways, 1936's The Sacred Jewel, Island in the Sky, and Mickey Mouse Joins the Foreign Legion, 1939's The Pirate Submarine, 1948's Mickey Mouse: The Ghost Town Airport, and 1991's Mickey Mouse: Scoundrels in Space.

[charlestheartwizard]

Drawing every character from the Floyd Gottfredson Mickey Mouse comics, part twenty one: Gloomy the Mechanic.

He was introduced in the 1932 storyline "The Mail Pilot". He is a friend of Mickey Mouse's who is an airplane mechanic that teaches him how not only how to fly and repair planes, but how to remain alive on his missions.

In the first adventure, Gloomy's character is a stark contrast to the role of Mickey. While Mickey is completely devoted to the adventure, Gloomy is foreboding and extremely pessimistic.

The next time he appears is in the 1935 comic story "Mickey and the Pirate Submarine". In this adventure, Gloomy has a more active role: his skill is necessary to assist Mickey with a prototype air-sea ship called the "Submarplane" though he is captured with Mickey by Dr. Vulter and, while captives on his island, Mickey, with the help of Gloomy defeats Dr. Vulter.
