They loved the character of Scrooge a lot! Indeed, all the German children I practiced my German on by reading these comic all loved Scrooge and the boys. And further: in German even Donald sounds totally different than the English incarnation. The technical sense was different and even more, everyone had to speak proper German which meant full titles, the proper status pronouns, etc. Amusingly civilized!
