        In fact, the resemblence between the BSA Weasel and the
"Beagle Boys" (a criminal gang in Disney comics) is really quite
striking. Not necessarily to the level of being copyright infringement
itself. But if you put their pictures side by side, it jumps out,
that BSA Weasel looks like he's a young member of a gang of thieves.
I have a comparison on my blog:

  Look at the family resemblance. Same shirt. Same pants (gang colors?).
  Same  squinty,  hooded,  eyes.  Same  toothy  smirk. He's even wearing
  something  on  his chest, which, making allowances for updating to the
  modern age, might be a Beagle Boys identification patch (more evidence
  of gang affiliation!).

  Traditionally,  the Beagle Boys were after Scrooge McDuck's Money Bin.
  They  must  be  diversifying. There's certainly a big money bin around
  the  Business  Software  Alliance, one to rival Scrooge McDuck. So the
  gang has obviously gotten one of their younger members to convince the
  BSA   executives   to  take  him  into  the  organization  (using  his
  weasel-skills  -  thus  explaining  what  would  otherwise  be evident
  stupidity  in  having  such a mascot). While everyone is distracted at
  the  official  contest  ceremony, the rest of the gang will attempt to
  pull a heist. Classic plot.

  It all fits ....
