Bongo Comics (publishers of the Simpsons titles) has a delightful homage to Uncle Scrooge gracing the cover of their FCBD giveaway:

They've paid homage to Barks' work before, as well. Someone at Bongo is a Duck fan.

Nice! I have looked at a larger picture and one of the comics the comic book guy has i called "Uncle Tightwad" and has a Duck with a top hat on it. Another has a happy Duck on it and is called "Nothing but Ducks". I have also red a Simpson comic when Burns is Uncle Scrooge, Homer Donald and Bart, Lisa and Maggie is Huey, Dewey and Louie and they where looking for a treasure called the Barks' Billion. Other artists like Don Rosa and Al Taliaferro were also mentioned.
But I have wondering if Matt Groening has been inspired by Duck comics made by Barks and the others when he created the Simpsons, I think I have red it somewhere but can't remember where - or perhaps I'm mistaken.
