-> Debut: ''The Secret of Success'' (1961)

A younger businessman (about Donald's age, it seems) who really wishes he could be successful like Scrooge, but doesn't really have what it takes, despite being just as eager (and usually just as honest). A friend (and nothing more) and protegé of Brigitta [=MacBridge=]. When working with her he can usually accomplish more than on his own. Like Brigitta, created by Romano Scarpa and used mainly in Italian comics, where he is named Filo Sganga.

!! Garvey Gull
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/donald_duck_garvey_gull.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"Free Spirits"'', 1996]]

A homeless boy who enjoys the free life he leads. A friend of Huey, Dewey, and Louie to the periodic dismay of Donald who does not consider him the best influence.

* AlliterativeName: '''G'''arvey '''G'''ull.
* ArchEnemy: Mr. Phelps, a train inspector who wants the boy out os his train station and trains, is Garvey's designated opponent. Him being an adult and Garvey a child, it's not a hostile relation and often puts the focus on "friendly" in FriendlyEnemy. In fact, in ''"How The Other Half Live"'', it was Phelps' request for Garvey to return because he considered teh train station too quiet that helped the boy make up his mind.
* TheArtfulDodger: A very successful one, but not at all criminal. He got taken in twice, once sincerely in ''"How The Other Half Live"'' and another time by means of SwappedRoles in ''"Which Is Which?"''. Neither times did he want to stay.
* CityMouse: To the triplets' CountryMouse status. In ''"Junior Chuckwoods"'', Garvey finds that his city StreetSmart doesn't do him much good in the woods, which means it's up to Huey, Dewey, and Louie to get them back home.
* IdenticalStranger: Type PrinceAndPauper in ''"Which Is Which?"'', when Garvey temporarily switches places with a rich boy that looks just like him except with glasses.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Principally to Donald Duck, but also to Gladstone Gander.
* ContemporaryCaveman: She ended up in present-day Duckburg because of time travel.
* DistaffCounterpart: To Bubba of ''[=DuckTales=]'' fame. She's a much more successful character than he is, taking center stage in over thirty stories.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Oona's status as princess is irrelevant past her intro-comic and even there it meant little.

Reginella is the Queen of an alien civilization from the planet Pacificus and a love interest to Donald.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/donald_duck_wadly.png]]

* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: More symbolic than power-giving, but after the events of ''"The Mysterious Black Pearl Ring"'', Scrooge buys Wadly a Super Goof costume to scare away any bad guys. It also seems to do wonders for his self-image.

!McDuck employees

* OldFriend: Overlaps with UndyingLoyalty. Scottie has been the caretaker of [=McDuck=] Castle from his youth until the day he died of old age. Scrooge has always trusted him and was deeply upset when it seemed Scottie was trying to steal his ancestor's treasure. It was a [[BittersweetEnding bittersweet relief]] that, actually, Scottie had been dead for months already and the thief was a lookalike named Diamond Dick.

* UndyingLoyalty: In spite of them having issues from time to time, she's completely loyal to Scrooge, and has passed over many better-paid jobs to stay as Scrooge's secretary. Best shown in "The Last Adventure", when Scrooge's entire business empire is taken over by Glomgold and Rockerduck she quits the job in barely restrained rage and leaves, stopping just long enough to exchange an ItHasBeenAnHonor with the equally quitting and furious Battista (Scrooge's butler in the Italian stories), and isn't seen until after Scrooge has taken back everything.

The caretaker of [=McDuck=] Castle ever since Scrooge hired him for the job when he was still a young boy. He's passed away from old age in present day and been succeeded by Matilda [=McDuck=].

* IdenticalStranger: Scottie has an EvilDoppelganger in Diamond Dick. The two never met.
* KidSidekick: Scottie was this to Scrooge during the Highland Games. He acquired the position on grounds of BecauseYouWereNiceToMe.
* LegacyCharacter: On the meta side of things. Scottie as he appeared in ''"The Billionaire Of Dismal Downs"'' is based on Diamond Dick, who pulled a DeadPersonImpersonation of Scottie, as he appeared in ''"The Old Castle's Secret"''.
* OldFriend: Overlaps with UndyingLoyalty. Scottie has been the caretaker of [=McDuck=] Castle from his youth until the day he died of old age.

!! Katie Mallard
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/donald_duck_katie_mallard.png]]

Known as Hashknife Kate is her heydays. She's one of the few oldtimers remaining in Goldopolis, Nevada.

* CoolOldLady: She used to run the Gold Cup Café in Goldopolis and never abandoned the city even when its glory faded and it became a borderline GhostTown with only her, her granddaughter, and oldtimers Cyanide Charlie and Hardrock Joe left to call the area inhabited.
--> '''Katie:''' "Pushin' trains is no '''lady's''' job, but I'm too '''mad''' to be a lady!"
* DemotedToExtra: For unknown reasons, Katie was almost completely ignored by Don Rosa for ''The Life and Times of Scrooge [=McDuck=]''. From Scrooge's elated reaction to hearing Katie's still around in ''"Mystery of the Ghost Town Railroad"'', it's clear she was someone close to him for a time in his youth. For all the effort Don Rosa put into expanding on the relations Carl Barks often only implied, like those with Goldie and Scottie, the fact Katie only got ''one panel'' in ''"The Richest Duck In The World"'' is jarring. And it's not even a panel that shows anything about her friendship with Scrooge! There's a page worth of script material that gives her a little more spotlight time, but it's gag stuff that does not concern itself with explaining Scrooge's fondness of Katie.
* NeverMessWithGranny: She was tough in her youth and age hasn't changed that. If trouble's brewing, she's got a gun and some reliable equally aged friends ready to back her up.
* OldFriend: A good one of Scrooge. It's hard not to smile at the sheer happiness Scrooge exudes when he gets to meet her again.
* RedBaron: Hashknife Kate, although no story explains why that is her nickname.

[[AC:First appearance: ''"Mystery of the Ghost Town Railroad"'', 1964]]

The granddaughter of Katie Mallard and one of the few residents of Goldopolis, Nevada.

* ActionGirl: A mightily efficient one with a good head on her shoulders. She even makes the final save!
* {{Cowboy}}: Type Cowgirl, obviously, but without any of the romantic stuff. She's also quite a bit braver than the rest of the team when they face ghosts in the Goldopolis Hotel. [[ImpactSilhouette Well, at least until bullets prove ineffective.]]
* DistaffCounterpart: Not overtly so, but it's obvious she's supposed to be to Katie what Donald (and the triplets) are to Scrooge.
* YoungGun: Has elements of this due to being the youngster among her grandmother, Cyanide Charlie, and Hardrock Joe.

[[AC:First appearance: ''"No Such Varmint"'', 1951]]

Scrooge's accountant. His appearance and age tend to vary, but his appearance as in the selected image (minus the missing green eyeshades) is his most common design.

* DependingOnTheArtist: Even his creator, Carl Barks, didn't stick with one design. He is always a {{dogface}} taller than Scrooge, but his variations include: yes or no green eyeshades, yes or no glasses, orange or brown shade of hair or bald, as old as Scrooge and Quackfaster or somewhere in his 30s, long muzzle or short muzzle.
* HollywoodDressCode: His green eyeshades, even though they had become obsolete already by the time of Clerkly's debut.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: What he has with his colleague Quackfaster and to a lesser extent with Scrooge.
* UndyingLoyalty: Like all Scrooge's longterm employees, he refuses to switch employers as long as he can work for Scrooge and doesn't take well to hostile takeovers.

!Pets
[[folder: Bolivar]]
!!Bolivar/Bernie/Bornworthy
[[quoteright:239:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bolivar_2064.jpg]]
-> Debut: ''Forbidden Fruit'' (1938)

Donald's lazy and stupid St. Bernard, who is generally much more at home sleeping in front of the fireplace than he is going out on adventures and suchlike. Doesn't appear in many stories, but generally makes himself known in a big way when he does appear.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: He first appeared in the cartoon ''The Alpine Climbers'' where he was a genuine rescue dog who stoically braved the icy alps to rescue Mickey, Donald and Pluto. When he was brought over to comics as Donald's pet, he pretty much lost his stoic heroism and became a lazy, stupid coward who hates the cold and runs inside to huddle by the fireplace the moment a snowflake falls.
* DependingOnTheWriter: His real name is Bolivar, but due to fear that this might be seen as a slur on Simon Bolivar, writers have named him "Bernie," "Bornworthy," "Bolly" and "Bornie." Nowadays, most writers use his original name, though.
* FurryConfusion: Bolivar is on the same anthropomorphic level as Pluto; i.e. he's mostly just a dog...
* HiddenDepths: ... but there are hints that he may be [[ObfuscatingStupidity smarter than he lets on.]] In one story, as a FunnyBackgroundEvent, he plays checkers with Gyro's Helper, and ''wins.''
* IronicFear: He's a ''St. Bernard'' who's afraid of ''snow.'' Donald even [[LampshadeHanging Lampshades]] [[http://disneycomics.free.fr/Ducks/Barks/show.php?num=3&loc=1951/W_WDC_125-02R&s=date it on occasion.]]

[[folder:Tabby]]
!!Tabby
[[quoteright:170:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Tabby_7004.gif]]
-> Debut: Daily strip (1938)
Donald's pet cat, a smart, cynical and self-centered tom who like Bolivar most of all wants to take life easy, lie around to take a nap or five, maybe make yet another attempt at catching one of the goldfish. Usually only a background character, but does get the occasional [[ADayInTheLimelight Day In The Limelight]] -- most often alongside Fethry, with whom he has a... complicated relationship.

* BadassAdorable: Coupled with BrilliantButLazy. This is one seriously tough cat, though he doesn't often bother spending much effort in order to show it.
* CatsAreMean: A mild case, and he's actually rather affectionate towards Donald -- but he shows some traits of callousness, especially towards Fethry.
-->'''Fethry:''' Help! I'm drowning!\\
'''Tabby:''' Best news I've heard all day.
* CatsAreSnarkers: In Tabby's case, through InnerMonologue.
%%* CatsAreSuperior: Absolutely.
* DependingOnTheWriter: The Tabby who made his debut in the Taliaferro strip looks and acts almost nothing like the Tabby from later stories, and his depiction varied wildly with other writer/artists. It wasn't until 1964, in "The Health Nut" (coincidentally the debut story of Tabby's nemesis Fethry) that his look and personality settled, [[DependingOnTheArtist though the colorists still don't seem to agree what color he should be.]]
** It does vary a little just whose cat he is, too. Usually he's depicted as Donald's, but there are a few stories where he seems to be ''Fethry's'' cat.
* InnerMonologue: He gets far more of them than any other "pet" character in the comics. Usually with a great deal of [[DeadpanSnarker sarcasm]].
* MegaNeko: In one story, he drank some "Growth Serum" and grew to the size of a tiger.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Type 1 with Fethry, who ''adores'' Tabby, and is not very good at picking up the signals that the feelings are not mutual. (That said, in some stories they get along fine, so Tabby's main objection to Fethry is probably his tendency to drag him along on {{Zany Scheme}}s.) Type 2 with [[WesternAnimation/PlutoThePup Pluto]], on the rare occasions when they meet.

[[folder: Jaq and Gus]]
!! Jaq and Gus
[[quoteright:278:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/disneyjaqandgusgus_9531.jpg]]
--> Debut: ''Disney/{{Cinderella}}'' (1950)

Two house-mice who live on Grandma Duck's farm and occasionally do favors for her in exchange for room and board.

* AnimalTalk: DependingOnTheWriter (and on what's most convenient for the plot). In some stories, they can talk to each other, but not to the more anthropomorphic Ducks, but in some stories they can communicate freely with humans and human stand-ins.
* BreakoutCharacter: The reason why they're in the comics at all. When ''Disney/{{Cinderella}}'' debuted in 1950, the two mice were by far the most popular characters and were heavily featured in Disney comics in order to promote the movie.
** This was fairly standard procedure back in the day; when a new Disney movie was released, some or all of the more popular characters from said movie -- such as Disney/{{Dumbo}}, [[Disney/{{Pinocchio}} Jiminy Cricket]] or [[Disney/TheSwordInTheStone Madam Mim]] -- would show up in Disney comics, often interacting with the characters from the Ducks and Mice comic universe (which meant they were often taken out of their movie's universe and were depicted as living in modern-times). Gus and Jaq are among the most successful examples; after wandering around the Duck unierse for a few stories, they eventually came to stay at Gran'ma Duck's farm, and after that have stayed there and featured as suporting characters in Gran'ma Duck comics for decades.
* CatchPhrase: "Zuk-zuk!" Someimes borders on VerbalTic, but it seems to be used mostly as a positive confirmation, in the vein of "yes" and "okay."
* DependingOnTheWriter: Sometimes they can't talk to humans, but mostly they can -- see AnimalTalk above. The most different take on them, however, was in the MickeyMouse comic strip, in a serial adventure named ''Mousepotamia.'' Here, they were fully anthropomorphic characters and the same size as Mickey, coming from the country of Mousepotamia, where Jaq is prime minister and Gus is head of intelligence.
%%* HeterosexualLifePartners
* YouNoTakeCandle: Understandable to humans or not, they still talk in broken English the way they did in the movie (though it is slightly toned-down from the movie in order to make them more intelligible).

The caretaker of McDuck Castle ever since Scrooge hired him for the job when he was still a young boy. He's passed away from old age in present day and been succeeded by Matilda McDuck.
