Scrooge Doubles-- "King Scrooge the First" ; Daniel's PS quote quiz

[Olivier]

Hello everyone!

>>Daniel:
>>There's also a Scrooge Double in "King Scrooge the First" (US 71).
>>I don't remember how it's explained, but I think this Scrooge Double
>>was one of Scrooge's ancestors.

p 8 , panel 2:    "The old duck is indeed the near-reincarnation of
                          ancient King Scrooge-Shah"!
p 8, panel 3:    "And those nephews were long ago *princes* of
                         the royal dynasty!"

Unlike "Back to Long Ago!", here the ducks are not reincarnations
of  previous ducks--
U$ 16, p 2 panel 4: "We believe we *can* actually *levitate* persons
                                  back in *mind* to lives they lived hundred of
                                  years ago!", explains   Mesmer J. Spellcaster, HP, DH
            p 6 panel 8:  "I'm pretty sure that four hundred years ago I *was* Matey
                                  McDuck of  the British Navy" (emphasis mine)
            p 8 panel 5:  "Donald is the reborn *Bos'n Pintail!"

It seems that Barks changed his mind regarding reincarnation-- he may never
have actually believed in it, mind you, but deemed it a good story-starter.
The evolution is quite interesting & smart: the ducks are the "near-reincarnation"
of  their ancestors in the sense that they carry their genes.
U$ 71,  p 2 panel 4:    "If  my theory is right, only a full *carrier* of  certain ancient
                                      genes can speak that tone!"
                    panel 5:    "And in those genes should be recollections from the sly
                                      brain of  that frist carrier of  four thousand years ago!"
              p 8 panel 1:    "In a moment the stimulated memory cells in the ducks' genes
                                      have transported them back in mind many centuries to a
                                      bustling day in old Sagbad..."

>>sixty-three minutes ago!"

I *love* those quizes!
Still wondering where the previous one can come from...
