Dr. Von Goosewing: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

'''Dr. Von Goosewing''' is a mad scientist and vampire hunter, a spoof of Abraham Van Helsing. He is a goose that speaks in a German accent, and often throws in a basic word or two in German, such saying “ein” instead of “a”, he pronounces “vampire” as “wampire” and he structures his English sentences with the verb at the end, the way they might be structured if they were spoken in German.

~~Example: “Inhave~~ for myself a wampire-blaster created.”

“I have for myself a wampire-blaster created.”

Von Goosewing wears an outfit similar to that of Sherlock Holmes, with a pair of spats. He often flies a dirigible with "VG" on it.

He pursues [[Count Duckula]] relentlessly, never able to comprehend that Duckula is actually harmless. When he's not inventing some new machine with which to hunt “wampires” he relies on an old fashioned blunderbuss, which is loaded with a wooden stake (although, curiously, it will ~~sometimes actually fire~~ laser beams).

He is a terrible scientist, often getting ~~maimed~~ by his own ~~crackpot~~ inventions. He is ~~supremely~~ unobservant, and often bumps into Duckula and converses with him for several minutes without realizing to whom he is speaking. His realizations are often followed with the exclamation, “Duckula, you fiend!”

He is a terrible scientist, often getting injured by his own inventions. He is rather unobservant, and often bumps into Duckula and converses with him for several minutes without realizing to whom he is speaking. His realizations are often followed with the exclamation, “Duckula, you fiend!”

Von Goosewing appears to have (or have had) an assistant named [[Heinrich]] (who never appears on screen, yet some evidence of his existence exists, such as the uneaten sandwich in the episode [[The Incredible Shrinking Duck]]). Von Goosewing often calls for Heinrich, and often blames his failures on him. All evidence within the show suggests “Heinrich" may be just a figment of Von Goosewing's imagination. However, the Marvel comic books reveal that Heinrich is actually his former assistant who is always complaining about his paltry wages. Von Goosewing mentions that Heinrich threatened to resign, but is still with him. It seems, Heinrich may have quit, but Goosewing failed to realize it.
