Bubba Duck (1987)

History[]

Bubba is introduced in the five-part episode "Time is Money". Encountered during an accidental trip into Duckburg's prehistoric past, Bubba latches onto Scrooge McDuck after Scrooge accidentally saves him from a ferocious Tyrannosaurus rex. Bubba and his pet triceratops Tootsie stow away on Gyro Gearloose's time-ship Millennium Shortcut, which runs on a form of unstable energy called bombastium.

He now lives in a version of his old cave on the grounds of McDuck Manor and begins to attend school in Mrs. Quackenbush's class, together with Huey, Dewey, and Louie.

Trivia[]

• The second season of DuckTales 1987 introduced two new major characters – Bubba and Fenton Crackshell. While both of them continued to appear throughout the series, they never interact with each other. The only episode to feature both characters is "Metal Attraction", in which Bubba only makes a minor cameo appearance and never appears on screen with Fenton, except in a photo.

• Bubba was originally pitched to the Disney executive Michael Eisner by Tad Stones as "Bubbaduck". After being remodeled by the show's writers, the character eventually appeared on the screen.
• While Bubba was created for the DuckTales animated series, a similar character, Princess Oona, was introduced in the "Donald Duck" comics in 1995.
