Great one, Robb.
I never claimed to be a great artist but I thought I'd give this a shot.

Nice family picture, Scroodude But there are two men and one woman who I don't recognise. Three look like Gladstone, and I don't know two of them. Is the woman Glittering Goldie? Are the two extra men moby Duck and Fethry Duck?

Gladstone is in the purple. I had to crop out a gag that it was revealed that Gladstone bought Donald a Mickey mug. Scanner's fault. Glittering Goldie is framed as a picture on the wall on the left of Daisy. Had to crop some of that out too. Facing Donald and Daisy are supposed to be an aged Hortense and Quackmore. Matilda is in the red and green looking down at the snack table.

Aha! So, the additional characters were Rosa characters (with whom I am not so familiar).

Nice drawing, Olivier! Very much on model. I didn't know you drew so well!

You're very kind, Robb, but I am really not much of an artist; I can only copy well (really copy, not "find inspiration in" as here), and I am a terrible inker. After years of copying the ducks (mostly Barks and Rosa), I can draw better much heads than this one, but I have difficulties with the bodies.
Here, I used a panel from Gottfredson's 1938 whaling adventure for reference for Mickey's head; then I drew Donald's head, but not this one, actually; the initial draft was more of an early Barks duck of my own.
I tried to add bodies, starting with Mickey; it's when I tried doing the same for Donald that I drew him anew, after a first attempt; I used two panels from Barks' "Christmas for Shacktown": one to check the open smiling beak, one for the body.
(This morning, getting up from bed-- there's a stack of comics within reach--, I noticed the cover of WDC&S 519 (the banner picture) features the nearly the exact same pose, but of course I noticed it too late.
The first draft dates back to December 25 (it was meant to be a Christmas card); the new Donald was done on December 31; I then spent hours inking several times-- with my regular ink pen, over a pane of glass taken from a bookcase. There was always something going wrong (some details could easily be touched up on the computer, but other mistakes were too big), it was never satisfying, some parts were not as good as the draft, ...
I eventually decided to just scan the pencil drawing, clean it up a bit, and color it.
I will post a few of those drawings if you wish so that you may better understand my problems (especially with Donald).
Mickey is okay (though the body is still too long, and the shoes not quite right), but Donald looks too boyish, but here it's acceptable; his body is-- I don't know-- too short? not enough of a pear at the bottom? and his hat is too large, increasing the boyish aspect.
I admire inkers even more when I see the difficulties I have with such simple drawings-- especially when they have to ink over such "messy" pencils as mine (not that they're not clean, but I tend to refine lines without erasing everything).

Don't feel too bad. You see how stiff Don Rosa's inking is in comparison to his scribbles. I ruin all my drawings when I ink them (they get horribly stiff). Inking is a skill that is completely separate from pecil drawing. It is a skill that requires many years to perfect. Freddy Milton, Jan Gulbransson, Tony Strobl, and many, many other good artists have had career inkers ink for them. Inking is a separate skill that must be honed by many thousands of hours of practise. Many inkers are not pencilers, and pencilers are not inkers. Few artists are masters at both. Had Carl Barks applied for work at Egmont, he likely would have been allowed to draw his own pencils, but NOT his own inks!
