Let it be known right away: Carl Barks had nothing to do with any elements of the Disney franchise DuckTales. DuckTales started in 1987 as a television series and later gave birth to the usual string of merchandise that follows a Disney success - comic books, videos, and video games, to name a few. Still, Barks was, in fact, credited for Story in some of the TV shorts simply because the stories to some extent were built on his comic book storylines. But he never received any kind of royalty.
Barks did once comment on DuckTales by simply stating that 'They are good for the business', but that they were cramming too many ideas into too short a time: 'Sometimes I feel that they are not using the ducks!' No doubt, Barks did not like the DuckTales very much which is also emphasized by the fact that he never owned a television set until he was well up in his seventies. He simply never got used to the staggering fast pace of the cartoons and the never-ending rapid cuts.

Ik zie dat het boek Ducktales ook in het Engels bestaat. Waren de Nederlandse versie slechts vertalingen of waren ze helemaal anders?
Do you know if Carl Barks ever expressed in detail his opinions on the TV series Ducktales? He obviously wrote most of the ideas for that show. Did he get royalties? Did he ever visit the Disney animation studios while Ducktales was being produced? I am left to wonder what Barks thought of all the changed history that went on with Ducktales. I am also left thinking that he must have got really aggravated when the Disney writers chopped up his storys to fit a half hour kids show.
What was the deal with Huey, Dewey and Louie and the shirt colors? Take Dubious Doings at Dismal Downs and then compare it to Lavender and Old Lace for example. I always thought that the official colors for the lads were Red=Huey, Blue=Dewey, and Green=Louie. But apparently not. I guess Barks just put them in whatever color shirt he
saw fit at the time. Even more complicated is the fact that their shirts were all originally black in the comics.

First of all it is very important to bear in mind that none of the characters Barks drew - and invented - were owned by him. They all belong to Disney's. This also means that Barks did not receive any kind of royalty for Ducktales although some of the storylines come from 'his' comics.
Barks did once comment on Ducktales and as the polite man he was he just said that he liked them, but that they were cramming too many ideas into too short a timespan. No doubt that Barks did not like Ducktales very much which is also emphasized by the fact that he never owned a television set until he was well up in his seventies. He never got used to the staggering fast pace of the cartoons and the never-ending rapid cuts.
After his retirement in 1966, Barks went once or twice a year to Disney's just to have a look around, but he was not involved in any of the cartoons (for example Scrooge McDuck and Money from 1967). However, in 1955 he was approached by the animation studio to write a script for a Scrooge animated short. In reply, Barks wrote a full manuscript in just a few days. Upon receipt Disney's suddenly decided to shelve it. The official explanation was that they would rather concentrate on the new media - television - instead. Sadly, the script has since been lost although the synopsis still exists.
In the comics the nephews' shirts are usually black but when Barks took up painting he began to 'dress' the boys in differently coloured shirts. This also happened in the pastels. The decision for doing so is really quite natural, because a lot of black colours would not look that appealing on a canvas. Besides, Barks experimented intensely with his colouring in the paintings. Take for instance the ducks themselves: They are not pure white as in the comic books.
Up until the creation of Ducktales, neither Disney nor Barks distinguished any differences in the three nephews in any way. They all had the same personality. Barks drew all the comics in black and white. Different colourists at Western would add the colours and they were never careful about what they were doing. So Huey might have a blue hat on the first page and a red hat on the second.
When Ducktales was created, the studio decided to give the three nephews distinctive colours so Huey wears red, Dewey is in blue and Louie is in green.
In his paintings Barks liked to experiment with different, bright colours, and he had nothing against going against convention. One of the most steadfast surely is Donald's blue cap in the comics. Even that one was toyed with by Barks in the paintings. You will see it in white several times and even in fluorescent green in Leaving Their Cares Behind!!!

Lang niet alle DuckTales-afleveringen waren gebaseerd op een bestaand (Barks-)stripverhaal. Volgens mij 'The Curse of Castle McDuck' een origineel scenario.
