I hope that story will ever be published in Holland...
I also found out about a USA Daily strip in which Donald briefly mentoins his mother: http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=YD+83-09-10
In the Italian comic 'L'ottava meraviglia del mondo' (http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+3037-1), part of a series centered around gentleman-thief Fantomias that takes place in Duckburg, 1920s, Donald's parents and aunt Matilda made a cameo. They can be seen in the audience of the D.U.C.K. theatre (another reference to Rosa):

Quote from user: ScroogerelloAs this story: http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=D+2010-140 implies that Donald himself is no older than 30, there could have easily been a generation younger than Grandma and older than Donald.
How does the story allude to Donald's age?

Interesting. I enjoyed seeing Rosa's characters portrayed in this highly stylized fashion. Is this the only panel in which they appear in this story? Are they called out as Donald's relatives, or is it something only those in-the-know would catch?

In this story, Scrooge takes Donald on a business trip to the faraway kingdom of Shambalala. However, the pasha with whom Scrooge want to do business, only wants to do business with Donald. He says that he "believes in the power of youth"and that "He wouldn't even want to THINK about doing business with someone older than thirty", which means Scrooge is older than 30 (which is kind of obvious) and Donald is 30, if not younger. This also fits with Barks's view on Donald's age. In an interview with Wim van Helden, Barks once said that he saw Donald as a 'teenager' of about 15-16 years old. (the interview was printed in 'Carl Barks en de Mythe van Walt Disney's Donald Duck, on page 16')

I'm pretty sure they only appear in the panel I've shown here, and aren't mentoined. Gervasio probably wanted to connect his stories of young Duckburg to those of Rosa, by showing those characters. More info on this cameo appearance can be found on this site:
