Flintheart Glomgold was from South Africa in the original comics.Vortigar said:I loved that Scottish second richest Duck a lot too though. Flintheart Glomgold is his name in English? Wha?! Could they lay it on any thicker? He's called Govert Goudglans in Dutch, which rolls off the tongue awesomely as well as being a better play on words.
Ah well, that guy.
Why they made him Scottish in the Ducktales, I guess to make him similar to Scrooge and avoid any potential issues in referencing a troubled country such as South Africa.
But for me it was just another thing that annoyed me in the series, since I was a fan of the comics first.
