Description[]
Original Ask[]
Scrooge MacDuck: “Gus, for what crime were you jailed? (Well, perhaps, before I ask that, I should ask whether you can talk.)”
Comic Description[]
Gus tearfully answers that it was a miscarriage of justice.
Author's Comment[]
“Gus is still a little too frustrated for having spent 20 years until he escaped (and then died almost immediatly) in prison to speak, so I will. He walked in a murder scene and had the bad idea to take the bloody knife in his hands. The cops arrived just at that moment. They didn't bother thinking more.”
Behind the scenes[]
- This version of Gus's backstory is only certifiably canon in Ben-The-Hyena's personal continuity; in the main continuity, any tale of their own death spun by the Hitchhiking Ghosts is considered unreliable (though it cannot, of course, be ruled out altogether).
