| BIOGRAPHICAL DETAILS: |
Trapped in a cave by the weather and a mountain lion, Mickey Mouse meets and befriends a highly intelligent, but strange little being, a "Man of Tomorrow" (from the year 2447), whom he later dubs "Eega Beeva." Despite his physical presence, Goofy refuses to believe in his existence, though two professors, Orville and Claude, from the local university want to dissect Eega. After a skiing accident in which Eega rescues Goofy, the two become friends. Eega has a strange pet called Pflip the Thnuckle-Booh (a strange dog-like creature). Pflip has a close rapport with Eega, and a built-in 'early warning system,' which causes him to change colors to indicate a danger within 300 feet. With Eega's and Pflip's help Mickey and Chief O'Hara were able to defeat the Phantom Blot. Eega, himself, is able to sense when Mickey is in danger, and can travel through time and space via the Pfourth Pdimension (from his home in the future), though he cannot transport others, like Mickey, with him. His speech is difficult to comprehend, but Mickey has grown accustomed to it. He also has strange dietary habits which includes ice-cube trays, pigeon feathers and pickled kumquats. |
