Line 321: '''Released:''' Iceland- ''April 1994'', United States- ''December 1995''<br />'''Dates:''' ''1909-1930'' This is the chapter where Rosa had to address a [[Noodle Incident]] most Scrooge fans try to ignore: the story from ''[http://disneycomics.free.fr/Ducks/Barks/show.php?loc=1949/W_OS_238-02 Voodoo Hoodoo]''{{Dead link}}'' about how Scrooge hired a band of thugs to chase an African tribe off their land so he could use it for a rubber plantation -- a blatantly criminal, despicable, completely unjustifiable act not at all in sync with making money "square." Rosa considered ignoring this story altogether, dismissing it on the grounds of [[Characterization Marches On]]. Instead, he decided to make it the turning point in Scrooge's life -- the trigger that set him down the road of [[Greed]] and cynicism toward becoming the hardened, villainous character he was when Barks first introduced him to the world. After crossing the line he swore never to cross since he earned his [[Number One Dime]], Scrooge avoids Duckburg and his sisters for 23 years. When he returns, he has achieved his dream of becoming the richest man in the world. He just loses his family in the process, after meeting his nephew for the first and last time for 17 years. Rosa was double burdened by having to cover the longest timespan of any chapter along with portraying his hero as an unscrupulous robber baron. You can read what the experience was like for him [https://web.archive.org/web/20070929094050/http://personal.sdf.bellsouth.net/d/a/danshane/scroopage/los295_1.htm here]. Line 350: '''Released:''' Iceland- ''May 1994'', United States- ''February 1996''<br />'''Dates:''' ''Christmas 1947'' The conclusion of TLaToSM picks up right before the end of Barks' ''[http://disneycomics.free.fr/Ducks/Barks/show.php?loc=1947/W_OS_178-02 Christmas on Bear Mountain]'',{{Dead link}}~~'',~~ when Donald Duck and his nephews meet their Uncle Scrooge for the first time. At first, they don't believe the legends about his worldwide adventures or a bin full of three cubic acres of money, so Scrooge opens the bin up for the first time in five years and shows them his fortune, along with his famous Lucky--er, [[Number One Dime]]. (" 'Lucky dime!' How [[Symbol Swearing\|@#%]] insulting!") The tour is interrupted by a new generation of Beagle Boys, giving Scrooge the perfect chance to show Donald and the boys what he's really made of. Even after the Beagle Boys are caught and arrested, Scrooge ([[Cardboard Prison\|very rightly]]) doesn't believe for a minute that he's seen the last of them this time. He looks forward to many future adventures with his new family. Huey, Dewey, and Louie are as excited at the thought as Scrooge, but Donald doesn't see anything interesting about going "on a trek to some dusty warehouse to look for a long-lost ledger." Good thing you won't be doing any of that, then... Line 406: [[Did Not Get the Girl]]: Which as adamant and vocal a Scrooge/Goldie shipper as Rosa deserves major credit for maintaining. * [[Doing It for the Art]] * [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]]: In page 7 of [[Spiritual Successor]] ''[http://disneycomics.free.fr/Ducks/Rosa/show.php?num=7&loc=D2003-081 A Letter From Home]''.{{Dead link}}~~''.~~ * [[Fiery Redhead]]: Hortense McDuck * [[Genre Busting]]: It's a [[Funny Animal\|Funny Animals]] comic book that follows all the conventions of the classic [[The Epic\|Epic]] -- a truly modern epic.
