According to comic artist Don Rosa, Scrooge McDuck died at the age of 100 years in 1967: inducks.org/s.php?c=GC+HD++77B

It isn't a show, it's an illustration Don Rosa did on the theme "Hey Daisy, whatever happened to Scrooge?".

I mean the tv show. From Toon Disney.

I think Duck Tales had a more present time in mind.Β And with those premises, Scrooge is a VERY (!) old duck. So I prefer to see it as Don Rosa does.

His very first earned dime. Is the result of him becoming rich, a treasure hunter,Β  a amateur archaelogist and a somewhat scholar and of course being addicted to his dear nephew Donald.

Thank you! Glad you like it! The design of ten-year-old Scrooge is based on how Don Rosa drew him in "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck".
PS. Sorry for the late reply.

$crooge was indeed a cute little lad and you have done such a very beautiful drawing of him!
I have to say I especially like his hair here -- so fluffy and curly. Also, his plainly happy and proud facial expression is simply perfect! My dear lil' $croogey, you would never guess where you will be in 60 years...
Ah, and this legendary shoeshine box with it's upside down 'N's has always amused me.
Well, overall, adorable idea and an outstanding execution, as always, Ted!!

Thank you very much!! IΒ΄m honoured by your comments!

I didnΒ΄t remember to do the β€œN” on ScroogeΒ΄s shoeshine box laterally reversed on my drawing β€œThanks for all adventures” and Don Rosa commented that when he got the drawing from me. I said β€œI will do it right next time!” and now I have. I have another idea involving young Scrooge and his first dime but it has to wait for the future.

Have a nice day!
/Ted
