I've been doing quite a few character drawings for the French site [b]Chronique Disney[b/], this is about half of them. The one exception being Lil' and Big Bad Wolf who I drew for fun (I love them a lot!). I hope one of your favorite characters made it in there. I sure do enjoy drawing the classic 1940s and comic book characters that I grew up with. (This does not imply that I am 70 years old.)
They were all inked on paper and then colored digitally, as usual.
Do you know them all?

Yeah, I barely know Moby Duck at all! I'd love to see the TV episode sometime that he appeared in but I don't know anyone who has a copy of it.
Eega Beeva appeared in maybe 30 comics in the US, which is still a decent amount considering it includes the daily newspaper comic storylines he originated from in which he often appeared from 1947 until 1950. I guess Bill Walsh and Floyd Gottfretson liked him a lot because he pretty much entirely replaced Goofy as Mickey's main sidekick at some point. In Italy I'd say he's the best known, he appeared in a few hundred comics there.

I don't recognize the Light bulb" guy or the big footed cave man, but you got most of them down really good. Heck, I needed a good, clear image of "Pancho Pistolas" for a piece of "Nose art" on a model plane. I like "Big Bad" Wolf and "Little Wolf" too, and You got that wacky "Civil War-Grand Canyon" Puma down pat.
The lightbulb is Little Helper, Gyro Gearloose's faithful sidekick. I'm a comic fan and barely know DuckTales but I'm certain he appeared in there as well, so you may have seen him if you watched that show.
The 'caveman' is Eega Beeva, he was Mickey's main sidekick in Floyd Gottfredson's daily Mickey Mouse newspaper comics in the late 1940s. He is from the future, so supposedly what man would evolve to look like. (I hope not, haha)

By the way, you reminded me that I needed to download a childhood memory movie of mine... Dumbo! It's been downloaded already and I watched it. MAN! The quality of the movie has been enhanced greatly, even for digital download. I just couldn't believe it.
Anyway, thank you again for reminding me to download Dumbo :)

Shhh... here! Seems like he made numerous appearances in Sweden as well. He's a mynah bird! http://coa.inducks.org/character.ph.....ELL&view=1
Oh boy! He is one of the bigger stars in the Disney comics franchise who appeared in well over 1700 comics so far. (I just saw that he's about to appear in a Dutch publication for the 1000th time!) He first appeared in 1945, and is Zeke's (aka the Big Bad Wolf) son. He's a goody two-shoes and his best friends are the three pigs, while of course his dad's main goal in life is trying to eat the same pigs. He still loves his pop though. It's completely messed up when you think about it and I love it.
Here is a classic comic from 1946 by Carl Buettner: http://classiccartoons.blogspot.nl/.....eek-act-v.html

Oh wow, a veritable cornucopia of characters! Nostalgia trip here, I grew up with the weekly Donald Duck comic. I can only remember most of their names in my native Danish, tho'.
Lil' and Big Bad Wolf were just about my favourite characters, it was always a treat when they were in the weekly comic (since they were rare guests there).
It's really impressive how you nailed the drawing & inking style most used for each character. You're the boss of style imitation, your Barks is even more spot on than Daan Jippes' attempts.
