In the last panel of the story "Barn Dance Doctor", Grandma refers to Ludwig as her "cityfied cousin". He would not have reacted this way if he was not her relative. There is an enlightening sequence of two panels in the story "The Rural Eggs-pert", where Ludwig is resting in an old chair of Grandma's house when an antique buyer asks Grandma to sell him "this fine old specimen" (the chair) and she answers, "Well, it's been in the family for years, but I could do without it!", making Ludwig astonished, since he thinks she is referring to him as if he was a livestock.

In "Pigeon Panic" Ludwig exclaims, "Ho! You know you can depend on me!", after Grandma warned him to be careful with her smartest homer. In some old comic stories where Ludwig visits Grandma on her farm, it is clear that they have a close relationship, as shown in the story "Message From Space", where Grandma exclaims, "You need rest, dear boy!", after thinking he had a kind of nervous breakdown. Grandma Duck, Uncle Scrooge McDuck, Daisy Duck, Gladstone Gander, Huey, Dewey and Louie, Gus Goose, and Gyro Gearloose also appear in this same story waiting to know Ludwig at the train station, and Grandma enthusiastically exclaims, "Professor Ludwig Von Drake! Such a nice-sounding name!". In the story "Duckburg, U.S.A.", published in Ludwig Von Drake #1 (November 1961), Professor Ludwig Von Drake arrives in Duckburg by train, and it is shown that Donald Duck had never seen this Austrian relative before, not even in a picture. The same family tree also states this is the only relationship between Ludwig and Donald Duck thereby contradicting Walt Disney's statement. This is contradicted by Don Rosa's private (and unpublished) Duck Family tree which shows Ludwig married to Donald Duck's mother's sister Matilda McDuck. Besides, he has been shown to be a member of the Absentminded Dating Club, where he is the suitor of a duck woman called Alice. In the Wonderful World of Color episode Kids is Kids, Ludwig says, "Of course, I don't need any help raising children. In the comic strips by Bob Karp and Al Taliaferro, Donald and his nephews usually call Ludwig 'Uncle Ludwig', and Daisy Duck refers to him as 'sort of an uncle' of Donald's in the first Sunday strip where his name is mentioned. According to Walt Disney, Donald decided to adopt his maternal surname, Duck, when he got into show business, and that is the reason why he is not popularly known as Donald Von Drake. In the Wonderful World of Color episode The Hunting Instinct, Walt Disney states Ludwig is Donald Duck's father's brother. Ludwig can play the piano and acoustic guitar, as shown in a few television specials and more. On occasion, Daisy Duck will coax (or even trick) the professor into giving lectures and tours for her ladies' club. In the comics, Ludwig usually visits with Donald Duck and Donald's nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie. He is often shown as having little social competence, however, and is often portrayed as being very forgetful, sometimes even somewhat senile. When he is consulted by other family members, it is a running gag that he almost invariably turns out to have a university degree relevant for whatever information they are seeking. Since his youth, he has been trying to obtain as many diplomas, in any science, as possible. Ludwig Von Drake comes from Vienna, Austria and has a fascination with knowledge.
