Uncle Scrooge - Only a poor old man (1952)

[@normbeaudoin3635]

I absolutely love how they set these Uncle Scrooge comics to this music. I've always loved these comics but with them set to music now they are even more of a joy ! Thank you !

Also, it's a jaunty, old-timey music that really helps sell the era the story takes place in.

nothing better than remembering something from when you were a little kid, dad read this to me around 1963

[@taveshii]

I love that the beagle boys had money to buy so much land

[@Blackadder75]

in the very first Barks comic that features them, they actually win a lot of cash from Uncle Scrooge

[@MrRichulan]

Thank you so much, I did not know this story till now!

[@christoperwijaya15]

So, i still wonder what is the Scrooge's trick not to be hurted while diving in the pool of coins?

[@stopmotionman1866]

Life time of practice...

[@Mesterius1]

Well, I'll admit - it's a *TRICK* !

[@metalhawk66]

Don Rosa is giving an explanation about this, in Life and Times of Scrooge Mc Duck.

[@Sgrunterundt]

@@metalhawk66 Not much of an explanation, but as good a one as we are going to get. (Years of bathing in it has taught him some instinctive trick.) Basically Rosa acknowledges that, yes, it is impossible, but he can because he is Scrooge. Same thing with the Junior Woodchucks' guidebook. No it could never hold all that information, don't think about it. :)

Scrooge tells Donald that there's no greater comfort than having lots of money, but he's interrupted every few seconds to kill moths and rats that could eat his money!😂😂

[@stopmotionman1866]

That's the funny part about it!

[@AudieHolland]

There's also a story that starts with him having to stack sacks of money because a window has broken. Instead of paying for the repair, he's trying to stack the sacks high enough to fill the hole. Unfortunately, I'm too poor! I need another million to reach that high!

$$Uncle Scrooge$$ stories are wacky and funny!!

[@PieFights]

3:01-3:16 These following pages were later re used by Don Rosa for a few chapters in the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck

[@GladiusTR]

Oof!

What is the music from, please?

[@vivliforia2262]

Can anybody tell me about the title of Uncle Scrooge comic book story where he tries to escape a mental hospital but fails? 😊

I am Accountant Public . But i amnot clever to calculate Moneys ...

[@ijuka]

Why would scrooge not buy all the plots of land surrounding his money bin? Seems so strange that there would be any possibility that someone could be building right next to it. But Carl Barks never was that great at telling stories that make sense in a micro scale. He had some good overarching ideas but Don Rosa's far better at thinking in small details.

[@Blackadder75]

Barks Uncle Scrooge never spends money if it is not strictly necessary, so he wouldn't buy unneeded plots of land until a calamity happens. The stories are full of Scrooge making bad micro scale decisions because he is stingy , like walking for a week, because he won;t pay for a plane ticket, only to discover he owns the plane and could travel for free
