Little Helper (Disney)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Little Helper, or simply Helper, is a fictional character in the Scrooge McDuck universe of Disney comic books. The character is a small, humanoid robot (about 20 cm tall), constructed from pieces of metal and a lightbulb (from Donald's old lamp), which serves as his head. He acts as the assistant to the inventor Gyro Gearloose. In the Donald Duck comics, he is often shown as an inventor himself, sometimes copying Gyro's inventions.

Little Helper never speaks, but occasionally uses thought bubbles. He enjoys chasing mice and helping Gyro clean up the unusual consequences of his inventions.

The Little Helper was invented by Carl Barks, and first appears in the short story The Cat Box (W US 15-03), from year 1956.

In Carl Barks' stories, Little Helper often features in background gags to the main story.

Don Rosa discusses the invention of Little Helper in Gyro's First Invention, in 2002.

Little Helper also regularly appeared alongside Gyro in the animated series DuckTales. He was called Little Bulb in the series.
