When I was ten or so my most enjoyable times were spent in the pages of comics. I was not into superheroes or monsters. My friends were Bugs, Elmer, Mickey, and ducks Daffy, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Donald, and Scrooge. But my favorite was Duckburg’s odd inventor chicken, Gyro Gearloose–And still is. His inventions included:

• The walking trashcan that takes itself to the curb
• Topless hat
• Twenty-years-ahead-machine
• Portable hole

“I simply reversed the progidossilation from the distillator of my convex reoscillatory mumpkatron, and presto! Portable hole! I don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner”. Where do the holes come from? “Donuts, old shoes, leaky buckets, the mumpkatron isn’t picky. It’s a kind of recycling.”

Here is a list of Gyro’s Inventions.
