CABF18: A Capsule Submission

Still, no Truckasaurus. Come tomorrow, it should barrel its way up Route 401, scaring the hell out of the city fathers and bringing a tear to the eye of each hillbilly.

That's true. How old is Disney's "A Christmas Carol"? Was it made in the late 60's?

The web-searches I've done show that Scrooge McDuck first appeared in a Disney comic book in 1947:

Cool. I do remember reading those comic books, while waiting for piano lessons when I was nine... (not those from 1947! That would make me 10... 11... denominator... oh, where's Lisa when you need her?)

The Rack wrote:

Yeah, I have a copy of the original cartoon (but not the actual comic book) Christmas on Bear Mountain, which was quite good. The plot, FYI, is that Scrooge invites Donald and his nephews to his winter cottage to see if they're real men--he plans to wear a bear skin to scare them, and expects them to be scared. However, real bears come into the cottage, and when Scrooge shows up, the nephews are chasing the cub ("No bear can take our roller-skates and live!") and Donald is asleep (actually, he fainted) in the arm of the mother. Scrooge is so impressed that he treats them to a Christmas dinner.

On closer inspection... it's probably just a wet suit... that looks like a Star Trek uniform.
