That is "alive" . What I mean is like, Grandma duck is regularly featured in stories with Donald Duck as an adult. So that means she must be "aLIVE" in the present date. :p I know Don Rosa has said they are all deceased but what I wanted to ask is
is there anyone other then Grandma Duck or just older then Scrooge that is "alive"? Matilda has been shown as alive recently.. but is it really just her and scrooge left? Nobody else? :(
Thanks ^^

Well, "acroding to Don Rosa stories" Grandpa Beagle is much, much, MUCH more older. He was like 40 - with three ADULT sons - when Scrooge was 15, and is still alive in present stories. Ma Beagle from "DuckTales" is also older.
I always asume Ludwig VonDrake is a bit older but that's muy personal take...

Scrooge's even stingier cousin Douglas McDuck seems around the same age as Scrooge. So are Gideon McDuck and Rumpus McFowl.
Aunt Eider, a rarely-seen character, is (like Grandma) actually one generation older than Scrooge.

Well, if we count DuckTales episodes, El Capitan from "The Treasure of the Golden Suns" is much, much older than Scrooge or Grandma Duck. As the episode ends, we can imagine that he is still trying to dig up all of his gold.

Weird trivia: according to production documents, his name is actually spelled "L. Capitan": an *inaudible* pun on el capitan that you'd never realize was there??without seeing it in writing.

Interesting.
On the topic of puns- that Heimlich Maneuver Talespin episode...
So delightfully cheesy and I loved it.

What about that Barks tale "King Scrooge the First" about that swami who does that spell on DD US and HDL so that they find the powder to end his immortality? That guy is probably the oldest character in any Disney comic yet. I mean, he isn't "Alive" anymore, I guess, but he's probably the oldest character to exist in the Barksverse, at least.

On the same kind of note, although it clearly isn't Barks canonical and what not, there's a knight in the McGreal story A Knight To Remember who is an immortal survivor of the medieval era, saying himself he is "hundreds of years old!" If the Knight's "Simplar" that he is a member of is anything like the parodied Knight's Templar, he would have been born somewhere between roughly 1100 and 1300. At the end of the story, he's still living under the spell, so he would certainly not be dying anytime soon.

According to Rosa's timeline Grandma was born in 1855, meaning she's in her nineties in his and Barks's stories. Ducks and McDucks are tough, no ifs, ands, or buts about it!

Not surprising they live long. They weigh so little (wasn't Donald once weighed at his "normal weight, and he weighed only 28 pounds. Scrooge and Grandma must weigh fairly similar amounts. Yet, they are around 40% of a normal human (based on Barks portrayals of both in the same panel. So, The Ducks are unusually light for their size, and, thus have very little potential for strain on their hearts and cardio-vascular systems. Ducks eat insects and seeds, both rich in protein. They eat very little of dangerous animal fat. I assume they have the antibodies necessary to fight off "bird flu".

Makes you wonder what happened to Fergus. We have tons of examples of Ducks and McDucks living very long lives - Grandma, Scrooge himself (an even 100 per Rosa), various ancestors again as per the Rosa timeline - yet he only made it to his 60s, and a quite frail-looking 60s at that. Did he just give up after Downy's death? Poor guy...
