| Mar 3, 2021 at 14:06 | comment | added | Flater | Note that "immortal" and "can't die" are usually not considered to be synonymous. Immortality implies not dying of old age or otherwise considered "natural" causes. If Scrooge was a Highlander, he'd be immortal, but you could kill him through decapitation. | |
| Mar 3, 2021 at 14:06 | comment | added | Darrel Hoffman | Of course the actual years are kind of on a rolling time scale depending on which version of the characters you're looking at. The new show for example seems to be set in roughly present day, and I refuse to believe that Huey, Dewey, and Louie are in their 80's. | |

| Mar 2, 2021 at 23:46 | comment | added | Hypnosifl | Don Rosa had an explanation of the illustration here (from p. 182 of this collection), it was done for a joke feature where various cartoonists were supposed to illustrate the line "Hey, Daisy! Whatever happened to Scrooge?", and his comics were set in the 1950s so he was imagining updating the characters to the present. But the family tree does suggest he incorporated this into his own "canon". | |

| Mar 2, 2021 at 20:11 | comment | added | Valorum | @jamesqf - In later shows he discovers the fountain of youth and a reverse time dimension that allows him to "un-age" | |
| Mar 2, 2021 at 20:04 | comment | added | jamesqf | I suspect the reports of Scrooge McDuck's death are greatly exaggerated, since he's still appearing in a TV series - and not one featuring zombies, either :-) | |
