Did the other dog-people tease Duckworth because of his name?

Nope. I guess you mean Darkwing Duck; Duckman was a subversive adult-oriented cartoon from Klasky Csupo and Paramount. And only Darkwing was alleged to be in the DuckTales universe; Talespin was a different anthropomorphic-animal reality that was a cross between The Jungle Book and Donald Bellisario's TV series Tales of the Gold Monkey (in one of Disney's more blatant cases of plagiarism).

Not true. I seem to recall Disney Adventures (the magazine) doing a four or five-way crossover between DuckTales, Darkwing Duck, Tale Spin, and Chip 'n Dale's Rescue Rangers back in like 1994 or 1995, uniting all four series via the crisies of the storyline. My memory is foggy on it as it was my younger brother at the time who was all in to the cartoons and comics, but I distinctly remember him telling me about it. Granted, it was print media where it happened so some might discount that, but as I said, I'm pretty sure it happened.

I remember those issues. I had them a one time.
Love Rescue Rangers.

And here we all are talking about the social aspects and familial aspects of a cartoon show about talking ducks.

The fact that it's absurd to treat it seriously is exactly why it's fun to treat it seriously.

New topic: How the heck did Scrooge swim through the money in his bin? It's a bunch of heavy metal discs. You'd need a shovel to dig through them, and if you dove headfirst into them as Scrooge did, wouldn't you get a concussion? Discuss.

Now THAT has bugged more than anything else about the show. I kept thinking about doing that when I was a kid and kept thinking "but wait, wouldn't that, you know, HURT?!?!"

He's a duck. His swimming capabilities are far greater than our own.

Wow, this is the most unlikely conversation I've seen in any forum....

Only thing I remember from Duck Tales was the Scrooge McDuck swimming in the vault and this evil guy raising a tower in the middle of the city... I think.

By the way, did Goofy have a female companion like Minnie and Daisy are to Micket and Donald respectively?

I wouldn't consider that canonical. Heck, didn't Rescue Rangers take place in a universe populated by humans alongside tiny anthropomorphic animals? That's obviously incompatible with the Barksverse. A tie-in mag can concoct a gimmicky crossover easily enough; it's been done plenty of times. Marvel did two Star Trek/X-Men crossovers (and Pocket did a novel tying into them), but that doesn't mean that ST is in the Marvel universe; it just means that a story was told that used that premise as a conceit for the duration, ignoring the massive continuity problems of the idea. And then there was that Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue special in the '80s, which crossed over cartoon characters from a whole bunch of incompatible TV universes, from Looney Tunes to the Smurfs to ALF.

I guess my point is --- does it really matter?

Well, gold is a fairly soft metal...

Wikipedia again:

Goofy's wife has been seen in some earlier short cartoons depicting the character as a "family man," but his modern appearances portray Goofy as a widower.
...
In both Mickey Mouse Works and House of Mouse Goofy also seemed to have a crush on Clarabelle Cow, as he asks her on a date in the House of Mouse episode "Super Goof" and is being stalked by the bovine in the Mickey Mouse Works cartoon "How To Be a Spy." Clarabelle has been noted as Horace Horsecollar's fiance in early decades, but according to comics from the 1960s and 1970's and more recent cartoons like "House of Mouse," "Mouseworks," and Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers, Goofy and Clarabelle seem to have affections for one another; perhaps as an attempt for Disney to give Goofy a girlfriend to match his two male co-stars.
...
A character called Glory-Bee was Goofy's girlfriend for some years [in comics].

I guess my point is --- does it really matter?

If that were a consideration, this thread wouldn't exist.
