Does people still believe Grandma and Scrooge are siblings?

[Fethryfan]

During many years, mainly in Europe and Brazil, Scroogr and Grandma were thought to be siblings by most fans. When Rosa made Life and Times, this idea started to "die"

My question is: are there still people who think they are siblings? Does someone here in the forum thinks that?

(I'm not here to judge people. Even though i've never thought they were related, it's an interesting dynamic)

They're Schrödinger's Siblings in my book. Both versions of their history are equally valid, I don't have one or the other in mind in stories that don't specify their relationship, and specific stories "snap" into this or that version of their genealogy before things go back to their ambiguous haze next time around.

As for the more general question, I'm sure there are still people in Germany who hold onto the notion.

It might be a good idea to carry this discussion over to the thread for it that already exists.

No, gotta disagree. That other thread was a historical matter — "when, where and how did the notion of Grandma as Scrooge's sister get started? how did it spread? who still uses it?". This one is instead asking for our personal opinions on the idea, regardless of historical or canonical concerns.

Look up "Schrödinger's Cat".

It's subjective, but I personally feel we should avoid creating multiple threads on closely-related topics, since, as we've all seen, it results in duplication and redundancy of discussion and ideas and makes it very hard to find something months later. There's also the separate problem of discussions going wildly-off topic, but that seems harder to avoid because it's such an organic thing (and I'll admit I'm as guilty as anyone else of that).
