"Poster 7 - $crooge McDuck and the Beagle Boys"
This poster presents the terrible Beagle Boys! The greatest, albeit most inept, crooks in comicdom! Here are scenes from some, but certainly *not all*, of Carl Barks' most famous Beagle Boy attacks.
Clockwise from top-left:
- In their first two appearances, The Beagle Boys were not wearing their later prison uniforms. They seemed to be some kind of "street gang" in Terror of the Beagle Boys (WALT DISNEY'S COMICS AND STORIES #134)
- The BB's try (very unsuccessfully) to dive into $crooge's money in Only a Poor Old Man (UNCLE $CROOGE FOUR COLOR #386 / UNCLE $CROOGE #1)
- Baseball-capped BB's in their second appearance one mere month after their first apearence, chipping $crooge's money out of a block of ice - The Big Bin on Killmotor Hill (WALT DISNEY'S COMICS AND STORIES #135)
- The BB's acts like ghosts of Spanish Conquistadors in The Seven Cities of Cibola (UNCLE $CROOGE #7)
- The BB's imitating another ancient ghost with a pirate cut-out and a lighthouse beacon in The Strange Shipwrecks (UNCLE $CROOGE #23)
- The BB's become astronauts in an attempth to beat $crooge to the 24 carat moon in The Twenty-four Carat Moon (UNCLE $CROOGE #24)
- The BB's hit a gusher with their oil-drilling rig in The Money Well (UNCLE $CROOGE #21)
- The BB's invent a giant tree-cutter-shredder in order to get $crooge's money that was hidden in trees in The Paul Bunyan Machine (UNCLE $CROOGE #28)
- The BB's with a portable petrifying-ray machine stolen from a mad professor who loves cabbage in The Mysterious Stone Ray (UNCLE $CROOGE #8)
- The BB's with the Money Bin after it was hit by a shrinking ray in Billions in the Hole (UNCLE $CROOGE #33)
- Two disguised BB's, one as a robot seaman and another as the ship's skipper in The Menehune Mystery (UNCLE $CROOGE #4)
