Wow! Sound cool :-)
Im Big Simpsons Fan (of the Show, I don't say "Simpsons Comics" are bad but
compering to the show, moust of "Simpsons Comics" are have boring plot's)
sow I will thry to get this one.

By the way :

This isn't first time "Simpsons" did a Scrooge Parody.

In Episode "A Hunka Hunka Burns in Love" Mr. Burns mention "Scrooge Mcduck"
as his rival.

In "Simpsons Comics #36 - The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth" . Mr. Burns show
Gary his Money Bin (similar to the one Scrooge have). Thean three Nepwes
aperd (dress similar to Huey Duey and Luey from DuckTales).

Mr. Burns - Yes Nephews? What is it?
Nep 1 - There's a sunken Galleon...
Nep 2 - Off the coast of Spain...
Nep 3 - They sey It's full of Treasure!
Mr. Burns - Im sorry Lads. Im bussy with youg Gary now. We'll have this
Adventure another time.
Nephews and Mr. Smither (who aperd, Dress up like Donald) - Awwwwwwww!

Actualy ther is much Similarity between Mr. Burns charecter and Uncel
Scrooge personality.
Plus They bouth super Rich, they bouth have treasure full thropy Rooms and
stuff like the "Last Unicorn", they bouth have some sort of a servant theat
fallows theam evry were they go (Scrooge have Donald and Bastian in some
italian storys, Burns have Smithers) and bouth were born in very poor
family.

Don Markstein has apparently never read a single post of mine at all. :P Then
again, irony, as I've heard many times, doesn't translate well over internet
messages. At least not without the help of smilies. Or something like that.
Anyway, Toonopedia is great as I've mentioned in a letter to one of the Gemstome
comics (plus some of your stories have been particularly good as well).

As for L'il Bad Wolf, I don't hate the character or anything. (I'd choose a
Donald Duck story over a Gus Goose story, but that doesn't mean I don't like
Gus. Though I also like Gus better than L'il Bad Wolf). It's just that I would
choose other characters over him. I don't want to get rid of the little guy,
I'd just like to have it alternate between L'il Bad Wolf and Bucky Bug in WDC
(since apparently it's one or the other). So I'd just like to see a little bit
less of him in favor of Bucky.

But then again, I have no idea why Bucky has dropped off the pages of WDC. It
could be lack of avaliability of stories. It could be because the character
is just plain not popular. Either one of those would explain it and neither of
those problems are easy to remedy so...

Even though he's far from my favorite character, I will admit there have been
a few L'il Bad Wolf stories that have been done well creatively and should be
read whether he's a favorite of yours or not.

That's possible. I've read this list only sporadically for the past year
or two (tho maybe I should do it more often now that Sigvald seems to
have dried up and blown away). (I hope he's okay, but only in the sense
of the "blessing for the Tsar" in "Fiddler on the Roof", i.e., "May God
bless and keep the Tsar -- far away from us!)

As for Bucky Bug vs. Li'l Bad Wolf, I'm a big fan of both -- Bucky for
the style of presentation (I got turned on to him over 20 years ago,
reading 1940s WDC&S to a 5-year-old) and Li'l Bad for what I call his
existential dilemma, which would bring on a plague of parent activists
if it appeared in a 1950s horror comic, but which, as it is, somehow
seems to have escaped their notice through the entire '50s and beyond.
