The series premiered in
1964, but the main characters debuted in 1951.
Disney created two major
funny animal universes of great significance -
the duck universe and the mouse universe. They
both appear in several types of media.
A group of primary characters from the duck
universe is The Beagle Boys who live in Duckburg.
They are bungling criminals targetted on seizing
all of Uncle Scrooge's money.
Occasionally a similar looking gang of youngsters
emerges. They are called The Beagle Brats.
The stories were/are written by an
overwhelming number of artists. Examples: Carl
Barks (1901-2000), Bob Bartholomew (1917-?),
Robert 'Bob' Paul Gregory (1921-2003), Victor 'Vic'
Lockman (1927-), Werner Wejp-Olsen (1938-), Paul
Halas (1949-).
