Professor Ludwig Von Drake is a cartoon character created in 1961 by The Walt Disney Company. He is the paternal uncle of Donald Duck. He was first introduced as the presenter (and vocaliser of "The Spectrum Song") in the cartoon An Adventure in Color, part of the showtime episode of Walt Disney'south Wonderful Globe of Color on NBC.[three] Co-ordinate to the episode The Hunting Instinct of that series he and Donald Duck's father are brothers. He is described equally a scientist, lecturer, psychologist, and world traveler. The character displayed his "expert" noesis on a diversity of subjects in xviii episodes of the classic anthology series,[iv] as well as on a number of Disneyland Records.[five]

Paul Frees was the original vox of Ludwig Von Drake. Afterwards Frees retired from the role, the graphic symbol was briefly voiced by Walker Edmiston.[ane] Since 1987, he has been voiced past Corey Burton.[two] Ludwig Von Drake has also appeared in numerous Disney comics stories.

Character [edit]

Ludwig Von Drake comes from Vienna, Austria and has a fascination with knowledge. Since his youth, he has been trying to obtain as many diplomas, in whatever scientific discipline, as possible. When he is consulted past other family members, it is a running gag that he almost invariably turns out to accept a university degree relevant for whatever information they are seeking. He is often shown equally having piddling social competence, still, and is often portrayed as beingness very forgetful, sometimes even somewhat senile. In the comics, Ludwig usually visits with Donald Duck and Donald's nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie. On occasion, Daisy Duck will coax (or fifty-fifty pull a fast one on) the professor into giving lectures and tours for her ladies' club. Ludwig can play the piano and audio-visual guitar, equally shown in a few telly specials and more.

In the Wonderful World of Color episode The Hunting Instinct, Walt Disney states Ludwig is Donald Duck's father'southward blood brother. According to Walt Disney, Donald decided to adopt his maternal surname, Duck, when he got into show business,[half dozen] and that is the reason why he is not popularly known as Donald Von Drake. In the comic strips by Bob Karp and Al Taliaferro, Donald and his nephews usually telephone call Ludwig 'Uncle Ludwig', and Daisy Duck refers to him every bit 'sort of an uncle' of Donald'due south in the commencement Sunday strip where his name is mentioned.[7]

In the Wonderful Globe of Colour episode Kids is Kids, Ludwig says, "Of form, I don't need whatever help raising children. I'yard a bachelor.".[8] [9] Besides, he has been shown to exist a member of the Absentminded Dating Lodge,[ten] where he is the suitor of a duck adult female called Alice.[xi] This is contradicted by Don Rosa's private (and unpublished) Duck Family tree which shows Ludwig married to Donald Duck's mother's sis Matilda McDuck. The same family tree likewise states this is the only human relationship betwixt Ludwig and Donald Duck; thereby contradicting Walt Disney's statement.

In the story "Duckburg, UsaA.",[12] published in Ludwig Von Drake #1 (Nov 1961), Professor Ludwig Von Drake arrives in Duckburg past railroad train, and it is shown that Donald Duck had never seen this Austrian relative earlier, not even in a picture.[thirteen] Grandma Duck, Uncle Scrooge McDuck, Daisy Duck, Gladstone Gander, Huey, Dewey and Louie, Gus Goose, and Gyro Gearloose also appear in this same story waiting to know Ludwig at the train station, and Grandma enthusiastically exclaims, "Professor Ludwig Von Drake! Such a nice-sounding name!".[14] In some onetime comic stories where Ludwig visits Grandma on her farm, it is clear that they take a close relationship, every bit shown in the story "Message From Space",[15] where Grandma exclaims, "You lot need rest, honey male child!", after thinking he had a kind of nervous breakdown.[xvi] In "Pigeon Panic"[17] Ludwig exclaims, "Ho! You know you can depend on me!", after Grandma warned him to be careful with her smartest homer.[18] There is an enlightening sequence of two panels in the story "The Rural Eggs-pert",[19] where Ludwig is resting in an sometime chair of Grandma's house when an antiquarian buyer asks Grandma to sell him "this fine old specimen" (the chair) and she answers, "Well, it's been in the family for years, but I could practise without it!", making Ludwig astonished, since he thinks she is referring to him every bit if he was a livestock.[20] He would non have reacted this way if he was not her relative. In the last panel of the story "Barn Dance Doctor",[21] Grandma refers to Ludwig as her "cityfied cousin".[22] Since it was stipulated by Don Rosa that her begetter was a Coot and her mother was a Gadwall, it is not articulate if Ludwig Von Drake is related to Elvira Coot through her male parent or her mother. Elvira could have an Austrian ascendancy to explain her kinship to Ludwig.

In the story "The Family Tree Spree",[23] Donald scares of seeing Ludwig'south specs on the flooring and thinks about them equally "Uncle Ludwig's specs".[24] In the finish of this same story, it is revealed that Ludwig too appears in Donald'due south paternal family tree, wherein he and Donald both have an ancestor called Colombust Duck.[25] Co-ordinate to Carl Barks, Donald'due south fathers's surname is Duck, his mother'southward ane being McDuck. Since Humperdink Duck (aka Grandpa Duck), Grandma Duck's deceased husband and Donald'southward paternal grandad,[26] was probably near contemporary with Ludwig Von Drake, information technology is possible to consider they were half-brothers, Donald being thus Ludwig'south grandnephew. Ludwig reveals to Daisy and her friends in "Blown Up Genius"[27] that he came from a long line of glass blowers.[28] In "Winning Ways",[29] Daisy and her friends try to prepare Ludwig's favorite dish, chosen Wiener Schnitzel a la Weltschmerz, whose recipe belonged to Ludwig's great grandmother. Ludwig is actually excited nigh it considering he has non eaten that dish since he left Austria and came to Duckburg to know his relatives of Donald's paternal family unit. In "The Large Payoff",[30] it is revealed that he spent many months living in Donald'south firm since his arrival in Duckburg. Ludwig wins a Telly chess challenge in this comic story, making Donald exclaim, "Yippee! He did it! At present he can pay all he's owed us (he and his nephews) for these many months!".[31] Co-ordinate to the story "The Jewels of Skull Rock",[32] Ludwig spent six months in Donald's firm.[33] In the Christmas story "The Cuckoo Clock Caper",[34] Ludwig exclaims that he and Scrooge are "joined in good fellowship".[35] Ludwig and Gyro Gearloose competed equally to who is the greater inventor in the comic story "I.Q. Bugaboo".[36]

Those twelve stories mentioned above were drawn past Tony Strobl, who was the cartoonist responsible for introducing Professor Ludwig into American Disney comic books. Actually, Ludwig's offset comic book appearance was in a not previously mentioned story by Strobl, "The Scene Stealer",[37] first published in October, 1961. The events showed in this one presumably happened afterwards the ones showed in "Duckburg, UsA.", which was published two months later.

Impress appearances [edit]

The Disney studio encouraged the writers of Duck comics to innovate this new character in print, and already in September 1961, Von Drake started appearing in Al Taliaferro and Bob Karp's featured daily strips. Even so, aside from a alone cameo advent in a one-folio story in Uncle Scrooge #54 (Dec 1964), the graphic symbol was not used by leading Disney duck artist Carl Barks.

In 1961, Dell Comics launched a comic book serial starring Von Drake and illustrated past Tony Strobl,[40] but it only lasted for iv issues before being discontinued. The grapheme made subsequent appearances in other comic titles such as Walt Disney's Comics and Stories and in the Donald Duck newspaper strip.
