What kind of bird?

What's the basis for the assertion that Gyro is a parrot? According to Toonopedia, Barks confirmed in interviews that he is a chicken. --John M Baker 16:45, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He certainly isn't a goose though, as the article states. --Chatzaras 19:17, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Who were the artists/writers who made Gearloose stories in Uncle Scrooge magazine 'round 1964? For example a story named The Arty Smarty.

Carl Barks did most of the best Gyro stories. --Emb021 20:38, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think Tony Strobl did a lot of comics around that time. Otherwise, check out Inducks. 惑乱分からん 14:34, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GG sometimes used as a substitute for Ludwig von Drake

Hi, found this info in this all-german comic forum: http://www.comicforum.de/comicforum/showthread.php?t=78071 Here the gist: Since the late 1970s, von Drake hasn't appeared anywhere else but in the Disney pocket books, and banned from the weekly/monthly comics at great extent. His last appearance was in "The Secret of the Cod card" (sp?) #27/1976; after that, he was merely given an "encore" in Mickey Mouse #33/1991, which is the only Barks story where Ludwig can be seen in at most 2 pictures. The reason why, they ask? Well, there's a murmur behind the scenes that the "younger" artists are unable to draw him, for he was not drawn by anyone but the long-time artists Strobl, Murry, K. Wright and Fletcher. Important also that the banning of Ludwig off the weekly/monthly issues is NOT a German phenomenon, mind you, but even in the Netherlands, they immediately retouche the Ludwig figure out of the comic and replace him by someone else. Sometimes these stories are drawn completely from scratch (Gyro Gearloose #37/2004) where you will find a remake of the "Ghost Deed no. 27" from Mickey Mouse #7/1964, where Ludwig has been replaced by Gyro. Phew! That's all about it! -andy 80.129.127.151 06:17, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's the younger artists, as much as the younger readers, that aren't familiar with Ludwig von Drake. I mean, he basically fell out of favour in the 70's, and no-one has been interested in a revival. 惑乱分からん 11:25, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

strange sentence needs improving?

Hi: I'm a newbie, I hope this is the right place to suggest a need for improvement of the sentence clause, "His outrageous productivity is presented as a factor in the quality of his inventions;", which even with what follows leaves me in limbo. Anyone up to clarifying this? Jjzanath (talk) 03:30, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How is his name pronounced?

Is it "GUY-roe" or "JIE-roe"? We should give a pronounciation guide. Herostratus (talk) 05:14, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"JIE-roe". Like "gyroscope". --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 04:54, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
