Biography[]

Moreover, the civilization of the likes of Eega Beeva, in line with the classic stereotype about extraterrestrial, is considerably more advanced than that of Earth. Eta Beta is genialoide, a bit 'quirky, but very intelligent who has the most futuristic technology. All this progress is decidedly at odds with what he had supposed Floyd Gottfredson. The author speculated that the US had in fact similar to Eta lived in a kind of stone age and that is why every rediscovered science was a source of wonder and amazement for the young friend of Mickey Mouse.
