Scrooge McDuck (also known as Uncle Scrooge) is a Scottish duck created by Carl Barks. Named after Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens' 1843 novel A Christmas Carol, he is Donald Duck's rich and miserly uncle, whose primary character trait is his extreme thriftiness. Scrooge first appeared in Four Color Comics #178 in the story Christmas on Bear Mountain, published in December of 1947.
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' (occasionally stylized as '''$crooge McDuck''') is a cartoon character created in 1947 for [[The Walt Disney Company]] by [[w:c:disney:Carl Barks|Carl Barks]]. Appearing in [[w:c:disney:Disney comics|Disney comics]], Scrooge is a Scottish-born, American, anthropomorphic Pekin duck. Like his nephew, [[Donald Duck]], he has a yellow-orange bill, legs, and feet. He typically wears a red or blue frock coat, top hat, pince-nez glasses, and spats varying in color. He is portrayed in animation as speaking with a Scottish accent. Originally intended to be used only once, Scrooge became one of the most popular characters in Disney comics and Barks' signature work. Scrooge lives in the city of [[w:c:disney:Duckburg|Duckburg]] (which is also Donald Duck and [[w:c:disney:Huey, Dewey, and Louie|Huey, Dewey, and Louie]]'s home city) in the fictional US state of [[w:c:disney:Calisota|Calisota]] (a blend of California and Minnesota), whose claimed location is in California in the real-world United States.<ref>Becattini, Alberto (2016). ''Disney Comics: The Whole Story''. Theme Park Press. pp. 51–52. ISBN 978-1-68390-017-7.</ref>


Scrooge is the richest duck in the world, an achievement he credits to having been "smarter than the smarties, tougher than the toughies, and making it square." Identified by his stately attire (including his frock coat, top hat, pince-nez spectacles, spats, and cane), Scrooge's money is not only a symbol of his frugality, but also his resilience and industriousness. As such, he prides his fortune to the point of being an avaricious tightwad, though he is honorable at his core. A portion of Scrooge’s wealth remains vaulted away in his Money Bin, the amount of which is so great that Scrooge can literally swim in it.
He was planned to appear in ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit (film)|Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]'' but was deleted.


As the character was further developed, Scrooge would become Barks' most famous creation. He was eventually given his own comic book series in 1952 titled Uncle Scrooge, which chronicles McDuck’s globe-trotting adventures in pursuit of wealth. In 1967, Scrooge made his animated film debut in the featurette Scrooge McDuck and Money, in which he starred alongside his grandnephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Scrooge would later find success across multiple mediums, most extensively in the critically-acclaimed television series DuckTales, and its extended franchise.
