Talk:Matilda McDuck

The Von Drake & McDuck Union
The marriage between Ludwig - an absent-minded, egotistical know-it-all - and Matilda - a fiercely independent, proud and touchy woman - probably ended in divorce long before Professor Von Drake was called to teach at the University of Heaven. Perhaps Ludwig is not literally dead, but "officially dead" to Matilda. Das Baz 15:52, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

An earlier version of the article suggested that Matilda McDuck must have been married to Ludwig Von Drake, as this would be the only way that Von Drake could be Donald Duck's uncle. This makes good sense, but unfortunately common sense is not enough in Wikipedia. If there was such a marriage, it must have ended in divorce. If it had been ended by death, Matilda could and would call herself "the Widow Von Drake" or "Matilda Von Drake." Ergo, divorce is far more likely. 66.99.0.70 17:22, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
