Scrooge McDuck

Scrooge McDuck is a fictional character created by artist Carl Barks for The Walt Disney Company's comic books. Scrooge is the uncle of Donald Duck, and is likely meant to be a caricature of Andrew Carnegie. The first member of the Clan McDuck to appear in the comics, Scrooge's name was based on Ebenezer Scrooge, a character from Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol.

Scrooge's encounters with historical figures

In several Don Rosa stories, Scrooge McDuck encountered historical people. The most notable of these encounters was with U.S. president Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt and Scrooge would meet each other at least three times: in the Dakotas in 1883, in Duckburg in 1902, and in Panama in 1906.
