The Beagle Boys are a group of Fictional Character s from the Scrooge McDuck Universe loosely based on the popular image of Ma Barker and the Barker-Karpis Gang . They are a gang of criminals who constantly try to rob Scrooge McDuck and were created by Carl Barks . In the comics, the individual Beagle Boys are referred to by their prison numbers, indicated on the tags seen on the chests of their distinctive red shirts. The three most common numbers are 176-167, 176-671, and 176-761. In fact, no Digit s other than one, six, or seven appeared on the prison ID tags they wore for the DuckTales era: On '' DuckTales '', the Beagle Boys were given Names And Different Personalities . The usual character combination is Bigtime, Burger, and Bouncer, and sometimes Baggy or Babyface, Bebop, and Bankjob. Other known names are Bomber and Blitzkrieg. Their leader is usually Bigtime, Bankjob, or their mother, Ma Beagle . In other words, the letter B is the first initial of all Beagle Boys' handles. The Beagle Boys have lots of relatives who count each other as brothers and cousins: apart from Ma Beagle there are the Beagle Brats (sons or nephews), the Beagle Babes (older generation which happens to be a trio of female cousins and a younger generation which happens to be their daughters or nieces) and their grandfather Blackheart Beagle . According to Don Rosa 's '' Life And Times Of Scrooge McDuck '', Scrooge first met The Beagle Boys in his Mississippi Riverboat days. Those Beagle Boys included Blackheart Beagle and his three sons. Scrooge first met the modern Beagle Boys during Christmas 1947, which was when he first met his grandnephews Huey, Dewey And Louie and met his nephew Donald for the second time. Since then the Beagle Boys have been a constant threat to Scrooge's huge money bin. Sometimes they team up with other villains such as Magica De Spell , Black Pete , Mad Madam Mim , or hire out their services to Flintheart Glomgold , Ollie Eiderduck or John Rockerduck . Sometimes, they antagonize Super Goof , Mickey Mouse , or some other characters from Walt Disney 's Comic Book s. Although the characters are obviously based on Dog s, they in no way resemble the actual Beagle breed. The Italian ska band Banda Bassotti takes its name from the Italian name of the band. ''DUCKTALES'' BEAGLES There were many Beagle Boys on ''DuckTales'', but the most common seven consisted of: Other Beagle Boys consisted of:
GOOFS In the Robot Robber's episode of Ducktales the Beagle Boy trio were led by Ma Beagle and consisted of Bankjob, Babyface and Burger. However while he is referred to as Burger in the close captioning and once in the episode itself, he actually spoke with the voice of Bouncer. While bearing many of the characteristics of Burger, he was chubby, he had the two protruding teeth and even tried to eat a giant hamburger with his robot, he was missing the bitemarks from the name placard. Both Bouncer and Burger are voiced by Chuck Mcann. It is unknown why the character was voiced incorrectly. |
