Happy 75th anniversary of Scrooge McDuck!
On November 14, 1947, a comic called Christmas on Bear Mountain was released and although it was a Christmas comic, Donald’s uncle named Scrooge McDuck will appear for the first time. At the beginning a big grumpy and bastard man, and at the end a happy man and an adventurer who only loves money. And yes, that comic was invented by Carl Barks, a genius comic artist and writer. Barks is also credited with creating the character Scrooge McDuck. So thanks Barks.
Scrooge was modeled on Ebenezer Scrooge in a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and was a real antagonist at first and cruel to his nephew Donald. However, he will later change and become a great legend not only for his great wealth, but also for his adventures, which he will later write about the making of the Indiana Jones movies. In addition, although he appeared as a forerunner in Donald’s classic propaganda short “The Spirit of ‘43” as Donald’s Good Spirit, he will have a real role in an educational classic short called “Scrooge McDuck and the Money” (1967), to become 20 years later the main character for the legendary Ducktales series (1987). 
Apart from Barks, there were other writers and artists who worked for Donald Duck comics. Especially Don Rosa, who wrote and drew, around his collector’s comic, related to Scrooge’s life “The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck”. Of course there are other authors who have worked a lot on Scrooge comics such as William Van Horn, Marco Rota, Romano Scarpa, Giovanni Carpi, Guido Martina, Giovanni Cavazano, Arild Mildthun, Kari Korhonen and others. 
Of course, Scrooge McDuck will also appear in other cartoons, comics, video games and other Disney franchises. He becomes the first richest duck in the world, having over a trillion dollars and becoming a hilarious legend and thus together with Donald and Daffy Duck, he becomes one of the most famous and best fictional duck characters ever. 
Now there are pictures of the richest duck in the world, together with his friends and enemies and his family from the beginning until today, in its various versions. And sorry that this is going to be a long post and that not everyone will be able to stop at this post.
Yes, much of it is copy-pasted from my Scrooge post from last year which you can see here: https://ducklooney.tumblr.com/post/671249232279355393/happy-late-birthday-scrooge-mcduck
If you like the richest character in the world, feel free to like and reblog this! Happy birthday to you, Scrooge McDuck! And sorry for the delay! And happy 75th anniversary of his appearance! Although Scrooge is over 100 years old.

Published to mark the 75th anniversary of one of the world’s greatest couture houses, this gorgeous book combines Christian Dior’s classics with the newest creations
Christian Dior achieved immortality with his first collection in 1947. His ‘New Look’ amazed the world as it emerged after wartime austerity, and reset the boundaries of modern elegance. Dior’s search for the perfect line and the ideal silhouette has been celebrated by couturiers of the first rank: Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and Maria Grazia Chiuri have all made their distinctive contribution.
This book honours Dior’s influence by celebrating the elements of style for every generation since 1947, through inspired pairings of classic and contemporary photographs. Six thematic chapters express outstanding Dior characteristics, including the silhouette, the evening gown and the eternal muse - in short, the aspects of the House that lend it unique distinction both then and now. The most beautiful fashion plates from Dior’s own time sit beside examples of the house’s creations through the decades. The resonance between classic archive photographs and the latest most up-to-date frames is clear and compelling.

Series 37 Episode 38 review
- Episode was very different, loved the setup and interjections/narrations from NHS workers
- Iain with HEMMS is always a slay,
- Stevie looking gorge, as per. Eyeliner really slaying. However, I think she's anxious about something, they kept zooming in/focussing on her rubbing her neck/shoulder, and she looked exhausted all episode. Almost half broken mentally, not like normal sympathy and upset at patient dying, but genuinely broken. I think she was about to cry at one moment and that really shocked me, please someone back me up at how not ok Stevie seemed to be last night.
- No reference to last week's EP at all, bar Max not being in it (I think maybe Dylan referenced it very briefly but I might be wrong). I thought very strange as surely Jodie would be upset more.
- ED very busy, lovely highlighting in that EP as to how hospitals normally are now.
- The guy filming when HEMMS arrived at the scene was wholly inappropriate, but again too normalised
- Cam being anxious, please let him grow as a character because he stood up to Ryan last week!!!!
- Donna is being a great guide to the younger nurses (notably Cam and Jodie) this episode, loving it!
- Jodie and Stevie friendship need to see more of, they are such cuties really!
- Jodie getting smacked in the face wasn't expected
- I didn't like that Rob dude, the one that operated on the patient, he was a bit of a prat and he ground my gears
- "Cam, go move your butt and get one" - Stevie. I don't need to say anything else
- Iain promised his famous brew. Thank you Casualty for consistency!!!! Even if it is only Iain's tea making skills
- The patients wife was lovely, and I felt so bad for her, especially as she was pregnant
- Dorothy. Such a sweetheart. Love her.
- RYAN WAS ACTUALLY NICEEEEEE! We love that. Slight redemption in my eyes! Him getting Dorothy's family down because it was meant to be her birthday and she was meant to be travelling to Manchester to see her son, and getting everyone to sing happy birthday to her was adorable and it was soooooo wholesome. Love it.
- Stevie's a sweetheart really. I have no clue what I meant by that.*
- Was the team operating on that patient one from Holby City? Was Eli in Holby because I recognise the name but am not sure as I never got fully into Holby before it got cancelled
- Stevie and Dylan slay as a duo and we need more of this, along with more Dylan and Donna and Jodie and Stevie.
- Also, absolutely no mention of the Sah/Paige kiss this ep. Very confused because, like, very big moment, why no mention?
- I think it's because it was a 75th anniversary special for the NHS they tried to avoid too many regular storylines, but I have no clue.
*To make this, I used the spam I sent to my friend as the show was happening, so some of my notes I have no clue what happened in the ep to trigger that response.
This is a learning process these next few weeks as to how I set out the weekly opinions, so please be patient and/or give feedback
Stevie is a fave right now, so there is very likely to be heavy Stevie analysis. Enjoy!

Recently the book "Goodnight Moon" by Margaret Wise Brown, illustrated by Clement Hurd had its 75th anniversary. It's probably one the most popular and well known children's books. It certainly was one of my favorites as a kid as well. It was always a calming bedtime story and a fun book to study the details in the illustrations. Gives me fond childhood memories for sure. Here is my version of the beloved children's book cover based on a favorite line: "Good night stars and good night air. Good night noises everywhere."

Scrooge McDuck, Flintheart Glomgold and John D. Rockerduck - Three multi-billionaire ducks and the 75th anniversary of Scrooge McDuck
On November 14, 1947, a comic called Christmas on Bear Mountain was released and although it was a Christmas comic, Donald's uncle named Scrooge McDuck will appear for the first time. At the beginning a big grumpy and bastard man, and at the end a happy man and an adventurer who only loves money. Yes, Scrooge appears more often in the comics, but he has become the most important star of the Duckverse in general, after Donald Duck for sure. Also as you know, he is the main star for both versions of Ducktales, with brilliant voice actors like Bill Thompson, Will Ryan, John Kashir, especially Alan Young and of course the famous actor like David Tennatt who played Scrooge very well. Also Scrooge is among the top 10 richest fictional characters of all time. And he is certainly the richest duck in the world.
Yes, I drew Scrooge along with two of his two rivals as best frenemies, which are Flintheart Glomgold and John D. Rockerduck, who are also multi-billionaires, but not as much as Scrooge McDuck. All three characters were invented by Carl Barks, the genius comic artist and writer of most of the Donald Duck comics who established the Duckverse in comics as we know it. Flintheart Glomgold appears in 1956 and Rockerduck in 1961. So, Scrooge along with his two rivals are celebrating the 75th anniversary of Scrooge McDuck. Happy Anniversary Scrooge McDuck!
Yes, I hope to do more specials, if not bigger ones related to Scrooge McDuck's 75th anniversary. I hope you like this drawing. Also my gift for my friend, @pick-and-shovel-laborer .

Citroën 2CV Pré Série, 1948. The 2CV is 75 years old this week (October 7) having been introduced at the 35th Paris Motor Show (Paris Mondial de l'Automobile). It had literally been designed to traverse a ploughed field carrying a basket full of eggs on the passenger's seat without breaking them. Citroën Vice-President Pierre Boulanger wanted to motorise the large number of French farmers still using horses and carts. It remained in production until 1990

The NYTimes celebrates Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" on its 75th anniversary of publication. I can't remember when I first read it, but I don't believe it was during high school. In h.s. we read Silas Marner and Julius Caesar. (Being a teenager, none of that stuck with me really.)
(Times) 75 Years After ‘The Lottery’ Was Published, the Chills Linger Stephen King, David Sedaris, Carmen Maria Machado and others on how Shirley Jackson’s eerie classic first got under their skin.
June 26, 2023
In its June 26, 1948 issue, The New Yorker published Shirley Jackson’s unsettling story “The Lottery,” and it’s not an overstatement to say that readers freaked out. They wrote letters in droves, angry or unsure about what this slowly unfolding portrait of small-town mob violence was doing in a literary-minded magazine. Now considered an American classic, the story went on to become a classroom mainstay, and a bracing influence on artists prone to see the rot in the flower bed. Here, 75 years later, 13 writers and filmmakers — plus Jackson’s graphic-novelist grandson — recall reading “The Lottery” for the first time, and why it’s stayed with them since.
Stephen King Author, “Holly” (forthcoming) I read it in study hall, back at good old Lisbon High School. My first reaction: Shock. My second reaction: How did she do that?
Jean Kwok Author, “The Leftover Woman” (forthcoming) As a first-generation Chinese immigrant, I hadn’t been exposed to much literary fiction. I was initially seduced by the calm, folksy demeanor of the characters even as I felt increasing dread as the story progressed. When “The Lottery” drew to its conclusion, I felt as if I had been struck by the stone that hit Tessie Hutchinson. Even today, “The Lottery” reminds me that it is the role of the artist to lead readers into unexpected territory.
David Sedaris Author, “Happy-Go-Lucky” If I’m not mistaken, my seventh-grade teacher showed us the movie of “The Lottery” before having us read it, which is unfortunate. I remember sitting in the dark when it flickered to an end, completely destroyed. I reread “The Lottery” every few years and have listened to many audio versions, none of which get the last line right in my opinion (the closest is Maureen Stapleton for The Caedmon Short Story Collection). When I first read the story it seemed fresh — was fresh, I suppose, only 23 years old. Now I wonder what a young person would make of it. The old-fashioned names: Tessie, Bobby, Dickie, Old Man Warner. None of the wives work outside of the home. Several are “scolds.” Yet when the story reaches its chilling conclusion — “All right, folks … Let’s finish quickly” — does any of that matter?
Rob Savage Filmmaker, “The Boogeyman” Growing up in a small countryside town, “The Lottery” confirmed all my fears and suspicions about what lay beneath the folksy, postcard-perfect surface of my community and the cruelty implicit in our blindly followed traditions. I could see the smiling faces of my friends and family in the baying Lottery crowd, recognized the casual othering and muttered prejudice of my town in their overt violence. I was a kid when I first read “The Lottery,” and a weird kid at that. I became weirder still as my world expanded beyond the parochial, and the more I became a stranger to the people I’d grown up around, the more I could picture myself being on the receiving end of their stones, should the occasion arise.
Carmen Maria Machado Author, “In the Dream House” I was an anxious kid who loved, even sought out, scary stories, and this one was huge for me. I wouldn’t read the rest of Shirley Jackson’s oeuvre until my early 20s, but this story’s iconic, deceptively quiet final line —“…and then they were upon her” — pursued me through my “charming poems about fairies putting dew on the flowers” writing phrase and into my “writing about life’s many horrors” phase. I am deeply grateful for the chase.
Josephine Decker Filmmaker, “Shirley” The first time was in middle school, and I think it affirmed my nascent understanding that the world has cruel rules, and no one understands why they are there. I recently worked with a teen mother whom Texas Child Protective Services (CPS) separated from her child for two weeks because her partner “smelled like marijuana.” No actual evidence. Shirley Jackson managed to get to the core of something incredibly true, which is that people will be attacked, without mercy, and society will approve. Because it’s something we’ve always done.
James DeMonaco Filmmaker, “The Purge” series I was a 12-year-old boy, in the sixth grade, prone to night terrors. “The Lottery” was a consistent double feature in my nightmares. It wasn’t the violence at the end of the story that deprived me of sleep, it was everything Shirley Jackson didn’t tell us. She never told us where we were; she never told us what year it was; and, most importantly and hauntingly, she never told us why. Why?
My first draft of “The Purge” included a three-page opening narration that explained, in detail, how the Purge came about in American society. We shot this sequence and included it in the first cut of the film. One night, I was startled awake. I had dreamed of “The Lottery” once again, still plagued by the same question — Why? The next day, I cut that opening, eliminating any explanation of the Purge’s origins.
Idra Novey Author, “Take What You Need” In Jackson’s description of the boys who know they will be praised for gathering stones without being asked, in the power granted to those most willing to keep the procedure going, I recognized my rural high school’s football team, certain parent voices in the stands. I recognized our mandatory ritual each afternoon — students called upon to lower the flag and fold it into a series of triangles. If any student exhibited the daring of Mrs. Hutchinson, to inquire whether we might be better off trying some other kind of fold, the student was immediately ridiculed or ignored.
Miles Hyman Graphic novelist, “The Lottery” I first read “The Lottery" when I was too young to understand it. In subsequent re-readings I became more attuned to my grandmother’s skill at her craft, spellbound by her meticulous, almost obsessive fine-tuning of language. But it was in adapting “The Lottery” as a graphic novel in 2016 that I felt I finally understood the story. This unusual experiment gave me the chance to take apart the original text word by word, putting it back together again in visual form — a sort of Humpty Dumpty of menace, so to speak.
Tananarive Due Author, “The Wishing Pool and Other Stories” Looking back, I wonder how “The Lottery” especially might have resonated with me as a young Black girl whose family was integrating a mostly white South Florida neighborhood. We had a few incidents — tomatoes thrown against the house, vandalism to our car — but most days were sunny and bright, like the one described at the opening of Shirley Jackson’s story. I didn’t know that my parents had been so worried about threats against our family that they enlisted white friends from the Unitarian church to sit watch over our house in their cars at night. But maybe, like my mother before me, I’d already learned how horror fiction could express true-life fears I couldn’t let myself think about consciously — like what might happen if an entire community turned against us and started throwing stones.
Danielle Trussoni Author, “The Puzzle Master” I was edging toward writing about violence, and I realized that I could go even further.
Stephen Graham Jones Author, “Don’t Fear the Reaper” Must have been right around fourth grade, maybe fifth. Little 2A school way out in the West Texas scrub. This would have been right when we stopped having homeroom, with one teacher doing all the subjects, and were now going from class to class, teacher to teacher. It felt so adult. The thing that lodged in me: that everything that’s about to happen — the violence, the gore, the killing — it’s happening in my head, after the story’s over. I could shut the book, but the story kept murmuring.
Levi Holloway Playwright, “Grey House” I was in my early 30s, just as I was starting down the course to be a playwright in Chicago. That first read — I laughed out loud to no one, then read it again immediately. It dead-stopped my heart.
Paul Tremblay Author, “The Pallbearers Club” I’ve reread “The Lottery” many times and remain haunted by the possibilities and ambiguity in the final line uttered by the doomed Mrs. Hutchinson: “It isn’t fair, it isn’t right.” Is she simply the victim of blind chance? Did she believe the lottery was fixed so that her name would come up? Was it supposed to have been fixed for her name not to be chosen? Is she decrying the entire lottery, the social/political system and its ugly inherent injustices? Is it existence itself that is unfair and not right? All great stories wrestle with that last question.
(Picture) Four illustrations from “The Lottery” show a woman in a kitchen taking off her apron, walking upstairs, and looking into what seem to be a boy’s and a girl’s bedrooms, both of which are empty. Images from Miles Hyman’s 2016 graphic novel rendition of “The Lottery,” which was written by his grandmother.
