Soapy Slick $58.99 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Soapy Slick, (created 1965), cartoon character, is the crooked saloon operator and profiteer in the Scrooge McDuck comic series, modeled after Jefferson Randolph “Soapy” Smith of Skagway, Alaska. He is one of the oldest of Scrooge McDuck’s enemies. He was introduced by Carl Barks in North of the Yukon. Don Rosa illustrated The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck Chapter 8: The King of the Klondike documents Scrooge’s Alaskan prospecting days (1896 or thereabouts). Scrooge secures a loan from Soapy. Soapy, being a saloon owner on land and water (he owns a gambling boat), has plenty of money to lend. Of course, at a more than suitable interest rate (it was 10% at the turn of the century). But Soapy swindles Scrooge – the pocket of land Scrooge wants to pan on has already been identified as having no gold – and Soapy goes ahead and gives him the loan anyway. Soapy adds another 0 to the 10 and makes the interest on the loan 100% and then tries to collect on the loan in Uncle Scrooge #59. Luckily, Scrooge manages to produce the loan-paid receipt. |
