Keno Don Rosa's The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck was the ultimate Arc Welding project of the Promoted Fanboy of Carl Barks already famous for his Continuity Porn. Defying Comic-Book Time, Don Rosa's 12-part epic takes every (reasonably possible) Noodle Incident, adventure, and reference from Scrooge McDuck's life in Barks's comics and organizes them into a coherent, plausible timeline.The saga begins when Scrooge is ten years old in 1877 and ends with meeting his nephew Donald Duck at the time of his premiere story in Christmas 1947. In-between, the series tells the story of how a poor lad from Scotland traveled the globe building up a fortune and financial empire by being smarter than the smarties and tougher than the toughies to become the richest man in the world, having every possible adventure a Self-Made Man could find. The series gives us our best look at Scrooge's family — his parents, uncles, and sisters — and shows how he met enemies like Flintheart Glomgold and the Beagle Boys, friends like Theodore Roosevelt, and Mentors like Howard Rockerduck that helped mold him into the Anti-Hero Jerk with a Heart of Gold we've known him as. The epic is packed with Character Development, adventure, Continuity Nods, Leaning on the Fourth Wall, a miraculous amount of violence and innuendo that got past the radar, and of course Don Rosa's trademark Scenery Porn and insane amount of historical, geographical, and cultural research.The 12 original chapters were released in issues of Uncle Scrooge from April 1994 through February 1996. They were published together in an anthology in June 2005. In the spirit of Disney's love of midquels, in September 2006, Gemstone released The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck Companion, which turned 7 of Don Rosa's previously published Uncle Scrooge stories (and 1 brand new story) into Midquels since they were Flashbacks about more adventures from Scrooge's glory days... essentially Arc Welding within Arc Welding. Most of the midquels use a Framing Device of Donald, Huey, Dewey, and Louie unearthing Scrooge's trunk of memorabilia in his money bin and asking questions about the stories behind its contents, prompting said flashbacks.Most of the stories (including the midquels) were released in Europe before appearing in the American Uncle Scrooge series; for example, the original twelve chapters appeared in countries including Denmark, Germany, and Norway in 1992. The release dates given below give the first publication and then its American equivalent.This work earned Don Rosa the Will Eisner Comic Industry Award in 1995 for "Best Serialized Story".A concept album based on the book by Tuomas Holopainen, simply titled Music Inspired By The Life and Times of Scrooge, was released in April 2014. | |

Continuity Porn | |
| The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck (Comic Book) / int_17b72e30 | comment |
Continuity Porn: Don Rosa attempts to explain every reference that Cark Barks had Scrooge make to his life before coming into contact with his nephews. The series therefore provides references and call backs to numerous stories written by Carl Barks. For example, the end of the first story, The Last of the Clan McDuck, has Scrooge's father give him a watch and a set of golden teeth. The watch had shown up years previously in Carl Barks' Heirloom Watch. That same story also references Barks' Whiskervilles, The Horseradish Story, and The Old Castle's Secret. He even managed to take some stories into account that he did not personally enjoy too much, such as Voodoo Hoodoo, in which Scrooge McDuck, who is touted as having made his entire fortune square, fondly remembers the time he cheated an African tribe out of their land. Other stories are outright ignored, such as The Magic Hourglass, which implied that the titular hourglass was responsible for Scrooge's wealth through luck. | |

The Dreaded | |
| The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck (Comic Book) / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
In the "Hearts of Yukon", the residents of Dawson City was getting freaked out over the possible arrival of someone named Steele. As Scrooge wonders who this "Steele" is, a large man riding a bear strolls in the bar Scrooge is drinking in, and starts demanding food and guzzling the beer. At first it would seem that this menace is "Steele", only for the man to just as quickly leave because he too is scared of Steele. | |

Was It Really Worth It? | |
| The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck (Comic Book) / int_2c27353f | comment |
Was It Really Worth It?: Scrooge's quest for riches is accompanied with many losses, which at the end raises the question of if becoming the richest duck in the world had any sense after all. Lampshaded, as his quest for the position of "world's richest duck" alienated him from his beloved sisters and his extended family, left him friendless, and essentially alone. In 1947, the 80-year-old Scrooge has money, but lives a solidary life and seems to have lost his hopes and ambitions. | |

Horse of a Different Color: Scrooge McDuck has established his badass credentials several times with these. When he was left for dead in the South African Savanna, he went berserk against all the animals trying to eat or kill him and cowed a lion into becoming his steed. In Australia, he encountered an Emu and used it instead, at least until it ran off from an approaching flood. In the Klondike, he has used moose for transport on more than one occasion. In Hearts of the Yukon, we also briefly see a rider arrive into Dawson City on a bear—but even he's scared of Samuel Steele. | |

The Duck boys have just met their old uncle Scrooge and have returned to his mansion after the events of Christmas on Bear Mountain, just in time for the Beagle Boys to lock them in Scrooge’s old storage closet. Donald picks up an old pickaxe and says rich Uncle Scrooge wouldn’t know how to use such a thing. Scrooge finally snaps, straightens up, shrugs off his dressing gown to reveal his classic broadcloth jacket beneath, grabs the pick, breaks the door down himself and sets off to catch the Beagles. The King Of The Klondike is back. | |

It doesn't work, as Scrooge has been gone so long and experienced so much of the world that he's effectively a stranger in his own hometown. The contest just made it painfully clear. | |

Historical Person Punchline | |
| The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck (Comic Book) / int_8a1cd5de | comment |
Historical Person Punchline: The series is rife with famous historical persons, but their identities generally get revealed right away. There are exceptions though: In The Buckaroo of the Badlands, Scrooge befriends a young man who chose to become a cowboy instead of continuing his political career. Scrooge inspires him to go back into politics. The story's last panel reveals this fellow's initials to be T. R.. In The Vigilante of Pizen Bluff, Scrooge meets a lot of legends of The Wild West: Buffalo Bill, Annie Oakley, P. T. Barnum, and the Daltons. And an elderly Native American who escaped from his reservation and now performs in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. He is Gokhlayeh, which well-read readers might recognise as the native name of Geronimo, the famous Apache leader. | |

Protagonist Journey to Villain: The entire series captures Scrooge's development through life, how his experiences and hardships shaped him from an optimistic youth to the money-hungry villain he was in his debut, and his eventual redemption. If you pay particular attention to the portraits of the main albums, he gets progressively meaner with each portrait until he ends up a broken old man. | |

Retcon | |
| The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck (Comic Book) / int_b2280b66 | comment |
Retcon: While generally very faithful to the Carl Barks stories, some aspects are changed: In Voodoo Hoodoo, Scrooge looked like Donald Duck when Bombie the Zombie first went after him because that was his natural youthful appearance. Here, it was just a disguise, including the flattened sideburns, which are never visible in other pictures of him with Bombie. He also changed the year the story took place, since Barks' year simply couldn't work with Rosa's timeline. Any claims that Scrooge's #1 Dime is "lucky"note including by other writers are just rumors spread by an ignorant public. It did serve as his inspiration, and helped motivate him to earn his fortune, but there's nothing supernatural about the coin itself. (Which makes the Carl Barks story where Scrooge began losing his fortune as soon as he lost his dime, which Don referenced numerous times, into Canon Discontinuity.) Goldie wasn't really kidnapped. She was acting in order to get Scrooge to lower his guard and reveal where he'd hidden the deed to his claim to her. She was also armed with a derringer, meaning she could have turned the tables on Scrooge the moment he turned his back. | |

Writers Cannot Do Math | |
| The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck (Comic Book) / int_da1c8191 | comment |
Writers Cannot Do Math: So how old is Blackheart Beagle supposed to be? He was already an experienced river pirate in 1880 with his three sons as his lackeys (who themselves were adults or at the very least in their late teens) when they first tussled with a 13-year-old Scrooge. Even assuming that Blackheart was a a very young dad and in his early 30s in 1880-1882, that would still mean he was pushing 100 years old when he first reunited with the 80-year-old Scrooge in 1947, yet he’s just as spry and active as Scrooge himself (without context, you'd think they were the same age), and the same is true during Blackheart’s comeback in A Little Something Special. | |

He actually used glasses for reading as early as his mid-20's, due to the toll prospecting and cattle ranching had begun to take on his body, but this is only shown in one panel of The New Laird of Castle McDuck, and only began wearing them permanently when he moved to Duckburg. | |

Voodoo Zombie: Bombie the Zombie was enchanted by African voodoo priest Foola Zoola to get revenge on Scrooge McDuck for attacking his tribe and stealing his land. Scrooge, who strongly resembled his future nephew Donald, changed his appearance back just enough to confuse Bombie to leave him be. However, Bombie continued to pursue Scrooge for years as the curse was never lifted, and eventually went after Donald in Carl Barks's original story. (In the original story, Bombie is incapable of understanding that Scrooge has aged since they last met, and goes after the person that most closely resembles a younger Scrooge.) | |
