About The Artwork
Bill Walsh and Floyd Gottfredson, the couple of designers of the Disney House that, on September of 1947, created the character of Eta Beta, baptized him with the incomprehensible name of Eega Beeva, attributing in addition to him the improbable role of “The Men of the Future”: a mysterious small being coming from the year 2447, five hundred years after that day. I said “improbable” because, frankly, it doesn’t seem to me it has been a very apt idea. As the hypothetical “Men of the Future”, I think that Eta Beta lives a lot to be desired. Personally, I meet Eta Beta a little beat later, on 1950 or so, in the Italian version of Mikey Mouse: the mythical comic of “Topolino”, monthly editing at that time by Mondadori, of which I was a faithful subscriber. I asked to my grand-father, which was a sweet and very patient men, what could it means that wacky name assigned to the small character and he explained to me that it was two of the letters of the Greek alphabet: “As if they were our E and our B”, he told me. Since then, Eta Beta has never been for me “The Men of the Future”: he has always been “The Men of the Alphabet”.
