Talk:Gladstone Gander/@comment-30591854-20180707215708

In Dutch his name is "Guus Geluk". Guus is a very common boy's name in the Netherlands and "Geluk" means "Luck" (alternatively it can also mean "happiness"). I guess his surname suits him well (in Dutch comics his catchphrase is "Mijn naam is niet voor niets Guus Geluk", meaning "It ain't for nothing my name is Guus Geluk", referring to his luck all the time). Now if I ain't mistaken "Geluk" is a real surname in Dutch, so I wonder if there's a "real" Guus Geluk... :)

Now I must say that I can't blame Donald for hating Gladstone... Especially in stories were Donald worked hard to get things done only to have it done for naught because Gladstone's luck makes him take the credit and the rewards or reach the goal Donald was trying to reach. But if you look at Gladstone's attitude, maybe I should be glad not to have as much luck as he has, I as I would hate to become somebody like him. (Although a bit more luck than I have now... Nah, perhaps I shouldn't whine.... Everybody wants more luck than they already have)...
