Paperinik e la new generation (I PK 123-1) where Donald to escape from Uncle Scrooge accidentally ends up in the future and there he discovers that Duck Avenger has been replaced by three young heroes, his nephews who formed a team of Duck Avengers.
Hmm, that reminds me of a story where the Duck Avenger ends up in the future and discovers HDL has replaced him. (No, I'm pretty sure it aren't that story.) And speaking of future Duckburg, just found this.

Scrooge dies in 1967 according to the gravestone, but there's no indication that it'sa fresh grave. Indeed, Daisy's "whatever happened…" question to Donald implies that Scrooge's death is a long-bygone event. I'd say the drawing takes place in the 1980's or 1990's — possibly even in the year of its printing.
Dunno, they all seem too sad in this picture for the death not to be recent.
The futuristic Paperinik New Adventures stories are set in the far-flung future year of 2020, according to my copies.
Just out of curiosity, may I know what translation is that.
In the original Italian version PKNA is set in the present, '96 basically. And since a lot is about time travels, there are episodes that show the future even more super futuristic Duckburg.

I've heard of it, but haven't read it. I want to, though. Even if despite the title it appears to have little to do with the Vincent Price classic.
I mentioned it earlier, I have read it. It's one of the bleakest Disney comics I know -- that first page isn't kidding with its blood red oceans and white whales.

Yeah, I personally wouldn't recommend it. Maybe I've softened up on it a bit, who knows, but it's still one of the comics I really don't want to re-read.

I agree, and Matilda already pointed that out as well. Personally, I always thought that the drawing was meant to represent the true "modern day", i.e., 2003 ... HD&L would have been in their mid-sixties and Donald and Daisy in their mid-eighties. They all look a little younger than that, but then Scrooge and Grandma don't really look their age, either, so that doesn't mean anything.
In any case, as to whether Rosa meant this to be canonical or not: apart from Scrooge's death year, this drawing doesn't really reveal much. Donald and Daisy are apparently married, and HD&L look successful in whatever enterprises they've chosen (and we have no clue what those are). All these characters are still alive in "modern day". All of those revelations are fairly predictable. We don't know if any of these characters have families of their own ... just because they're not depicted at the gravestone doesn't mean they don't exist (or aren't just standing off-panel). Scrooge had a last grand adventure that may have led to his death ... again, no details. So it's all fairly anodyne. (I only wonder why Daisy doesn't already know what happened to Scrooge.)
Again, what was the context of the "Hey Daisy" drawings? Who came up with that line, and why was the campaign launched? Robb participated in it, so perhaps he can shed some light?
EDIT: Apologies, it looks like Rosa actually drew that image in 1991, putting HD&L in their fifties and Donald and Daisy in their seventies if this were a "present day" depiction, which fits better. But I also see, on the INDUCKs page, that some of the drawings in this series are from as early as 1982! So now I'm very curious about all this.
Der Donaldist had two officially published booklets with the "Whatever Happened To Scrooge" theme: The 1st in 1982, and the 2nd in 1991. I believe Don Rosa only participated in the 1991 publication.
