Eega Beeva
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eega Beeva (full name: Pittisborum Psercy Pystachi Pseter Psersimmon Plummer-Push) is an alien human from the future from the fictional Mickey Mouse universe. He first appeared in the Mickey Mouse comic strip adventure titled The Man of Tomorrow. Since then he and Mickey have been good friends.
Mickey first encounters this strange character while exploring a cave in 1947. He invites Eega to stay at his house. At first, Goofy refuses to believe in Eega's existence and simply goes about ignoring Eega's presence. The reason, he tells Mickey, is because Eega Beeva has no shadow! Later, however, Eega saves Goofy from a skiing accident and then they become friends.
Eega has a pet named Pflip the Thnuckle Booh who has a color warning system. He turns red to warn Eega of sudden danger. At one point, he helps Mickey and Chief O'Hara capture the Phantom Blot. Eega was used from 1947 to 1950 as brief replacement for Goofy as Mickey's sidekick. In Italy, Eega has had his own stories, but very few of them have been reprinted in the United States. In Brazil, Esquálidus is the name of The man or Tomorrow.
Eega Beeva can predict the future. On one occasion, he and Mickey become millionaires thanks to Eega predicting the ups and downs of the stock market. This leads to Mickey spending all his time attending business meetings and ignoring his friends, including Goofy, Morty, Eega and Pflip. Eega puts an end to this by falling into a deliberate deep sleep. He does not wake up until he and Mickey are broke again. Mickey does not hold a grudge: he is as delighted as Eega to be back to normal. The experience does give Eega Beeva an allergy to money, however, and sometimes just the mention or smell of it can make him ill.
At first, Eega eats pigeon feathers, but this diet soon proves unhealthy. Now he likes to eat small balls, somewhere explained as kumquat or even as naphthalene. In his small pants, he can hide many huge-sized items. Eega speaks every word with letter "p" at the beginning.
