Grandma Duck was a primary character whom Carl Barks inherited from the Disney organisation. She is an energetic old lady who spends most of her time helping and caring for her animals, the farmhand Gus Goose, and visiting members of her family with no concern for herself. Barks only used her in 33 stories*. Half of them were written by other artists, though, and Barks 'only' drew the panels following the scripts to the letter; the interest was not too great and he was not inspired! In his own stories Barks also seemed somewhat reluctant to use her. She usually participated in the story briefly and often was used only as 'filling' or as a catalyst for the plots.
In the sub-pages you are presented to all the stories in which Barks drew with Grandma and they have been divided into two main sections in chronological order within each group; one where Barks just did the art and one where he did it all (i.e. script and art).
