Biography:

There are not much known about the life of Gus Goose. What we know for sure is that he has been "working" for Grandma Duck for a very long time. He probably moved into the Duck-farm some time in his young years, before WW2.

In the beginning Gus were called Donald's cousin, but Barks never saw it that way, probably because the big difference between the two - Gus is a Goose while Donald is a Duck. In his Duck Family Three, Don Rosa finally shows that Gus is Grandma Duck's grand nephew.
