Godspeed Alan Young

My short, but simple tribute to the recently departed Alan Young. Even though he was best known as Wilbur Post from Mister Ed, to us cartoon buffs like myself, he was the voice of the Richest Duck in the World, Scrooge McDuck. The only thing I did was nothing but darkness, but with a spotlight on Scrooge's trademark items, his hat, his trusty cane and most importantly, his lucky dime, which is a reminder on how Scrooge started making his fortune. As long as we think of dimes, we will always think of him. Godspeed, Mr. Young, and thank you for making Scrooge not just rich, but also kind-hearted and responsible, too and we will never forget you. Guess hearing about a seamonster eating his ice cream won't be so funny now.
