#rockerduck and lusky's relationship

[frc-ambaradan]

I just love their exchange here, full on old married couple XD

Lusky: We arrived! Do I go to the parking lot? John: Lusky, you idiot! Where do you wanna park a car? In the pool?!

Lusky: I was just asking! Why must you be mean to me? John: Oh, come on, don't play hurt! I'm just impatient!

John D. Rockerduck and Jeeves (Lusky) with Rockerduck's family plus Donald and Scrooge - Duckverse - Gift for my friends

Once again I wish you a belated Valentine's Day, and on this occasion I drew a drawing of one of my beloved fictional couples from Donald Duck comics. It is about the love relationship between Rockerduck and Jeeves (Lusky) and that they are gay but the best partners in which they help each other. John Davison Rockerduck is the third richest duck in Duckburg and one of Scrooge's biggest rivals, but who knows how to use modern technology and spend money on everything just to beat Scrooge in the competition, and if he doesn't win, he eats his hat. He is often assisted by his butler, secretary and partner Jeeves (Lusky) and Rockerduck depends on him. Something similar to Albert Quackmore and Duckworth for Scrooge. Nevertheless, as a loyalist, he does not betray his boss and participates in the "crime" together. He often appears in Italian comics, but sometimes appears in other European comics as well. However, the two of them, even though they are not a couple in the comics, there are still many indications that they are in a romantic relationship and thanks to the fans of these characters, here I am to do my drawing related to the two of them.

Apart from them, there are Rockerduck's nephews, Ricky Rockerduck (who is Donald's age and likes to hang out with Donald, and is also clumsy), Simeon Rockerduck (Rockerduck's special nephew, similar to Donald's nephews) and Arsène, George and Patrick Rockerduck ( Rockerduck's nephews who are a pure copy of Donald's nephews, appeared a couple of times in Italian comics) who support their uncle Rockerduck, and there are also Donald Duck (who hangs out with Ricky) and Scrooge McDuck, Rockerduck's rival and best frenemy. I used mostly redraws from Topolino scenes and other European comics and combined some of my own in my own way (especially in the case of Rockerduck's nephews).

I hope you like this drawing and this Rockerduck/Jeeves pairing. And this is a gift for my friends, who told me that Rockerduck and Jeeves are great characters, especially for @salemaru (which was her birthday recently so this is also a birthday present), @rednevalbones and @bitterlynsposts. And thanks a lot for pointing me to these comics as well as new inspirations and this is my gift to you.

Feel free to like and reblog this if you like it! Just don't use these same ideas without mentioning me! Thank you!

So, about Lusky...

In the latest Topolino issue there's a little exchange between Lusky and Rockerduck that I've found interesting:

John: Here's another one! John: The Old Miser's vans are infesting the city! Lusky: While our shops, on the other hand, are struggling!

John: We must counterattack! How's our Rocksells.duck coming along? Chief technician: Almost done, boss! We also have our AI! Zio Paperone e la P.A.I.: Paper Artificial Intelligence (2022)

Lusky refers to RK businesses as "our shops"... and John doesn't correct him.

Lusky's not new in taking these liberties, but Rockerduck would usually slam him back in his place, expecially in front of other people, yet he doesn't. Interesting 🤔. I mean, it's pretty obvious he says "our shops" 'cause he identify himself with the company, but its not like Rockerduck to let it slide.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it made me think.

In fact, I often wonder if Lusky has some menagerial role in the Rockerduck Industries... I'm entering fan speculations here, 'cause there's no evidence of this in the stories, only hints. First one that comes to my mind comes from "Paperino, Zio Paperone e una questione di piume" when it's Lusky who takes helm of the Rockerduck Industries while John's being held hostage by the Beagle Boys.

In the story he basically takes that role upon himself during five minutes of delusions of omnipotence (XDDD), but he wouldn't have done that if he has not the right to do it. He gives the press conference and the journalists present have no problem in inquiring him about Rockerduck's kidnapping and what the company's next moves would be: pretty weird if you consider Lusky to be just the secretary 🤨

Lusky: Alas! Poor Mr. Rockerduck! Journalist 1: You fear there're gonna be serious consequences? Lusky: I'm afraid yes! That's why I announced this press conference with such short notice! Journalist 2: You wanna launch an appeal?

Lusky: Better! I intend to announce that as Mr. Rockerduck's closest collaborator I'm gonna take his place as the leader of his empire, starting from today! Paperino, Zio Paperone e una questione di piume (2010)

While Quackmore's role as Scrooge's butler is well established, Lusky's role is a bit cloudy. He is officially Rockerduck's secretary, but he takes up so many positions and tasks that makes it difficult to call him a simple secretary. He actually has a say in the Rockerduck Industries' management being John's closest collaborator and friend and the only one he listens to... and he's universally considered Rockerduck's projection: if John's not available you talk to Lusky.

I don't know... it makes me think Lusky might actually be Rockerduck Industries' COO or executive vicepresident, whatever it's called in the US.

What do you think? Do you remember other stories where it is hinted that Lusky may have a much bigger role in RK Industries?
