The Pelican Thief

Story  on  Interior Page(s)
Credits
Colorist(s): ?
Subject Matter
Genres: anthropomorphic
Character(s): Uncle Scrooge; TV host; Susan Boil (TV singer); Mr. Whatzit aka The Identity Thief (in the guise of US Treasury Department's "Alvin Greenspin") Huey; Dewey; Louie; The Beagle Boys; Tex Aviary (TV bird act trainer); Coast Guard crew
First Line: Yahoo! My spirits are soaring!
Synopsis: Impersonating a government official, The Identity Thief worms his way into Scrooge's confidence paving the way for the Beagle Boys (posing as reformed government contractors) to make alterations to Scrooge’s Money Bin – so that the obedient pelicans of captured TV bird trainer “Tex Aviary” can systematically carry-out the coinage to the crook’s ship in their deep-and-oversized beaks.

Disclose Notes: All credits relating to translation / American English dialogue script for “The Pelican Thief” were omitted from this issue’s credits page. They are added/corrected as part of this index. Each individual story’s coloring credits were also omitted.

The story’s title, and all incidental character names (as well as their various aliases) were the product of the uncredited translation / American English dialogue provider, under the supervision of the individual credited here as the de facto translation and dialogue editor.

“Tex Aviary” is a riff on animation legend Tex Avery and a bird-pun. Susan Boil (TV singer) = Susan Boyle. "Alvin Greenspin" = Alan Greenspan, former Chairman of the US Federal Reserve. “Jay Chinno” = former large-chinned late-night TV host Jay Leno. “Pierre Car-Dewey” = a Duck Nephew’s riff on designer Pierre Cardin.

The lone exception to this is “J. Edgar Rover” = J. Edgar Hoover, the first director of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which was a nod to prolific Disney comic book writer Vic Lockman, who used the name in The Beagle Boys (Western, 1964 series) #7 August 1967.

In the original version of this story, the character known as “The Identity Thief” had a nondescript name, and was just a villain who used disguises. The concept of making him “The Identity Thief” – a villain with so many creative aliases that he no longer remembers who he once was – as well his many and various named-aliases, was also the product of the translator / American English dialogue provider.
