Quote from user: Roger NorthI didn't know Doc Static's name was Professor Tarabubu in a foreign language.
Actually he wasn't him beore the American pubblication.

In "The Menace of the Black Comet" (Catalano/Scarpa), 'tappears a character called Professor Tarabubu; since he looked like Doc Static, the American translator called him so. The same end is happened to Casty Prof. Gutenabend (Cosmo Static) from "The World to Come".

I just wanted you send me a scan in which we can see him from Scarpa story.;)

Hey, Roger. I'm the American translator in question, and here was my explanation for the decision in "The Incredible Black Comet."
If a story gives Mickey a close friend who's an inventor, lives in Mouseton, and bears an awesome physical resemblance to Doc Static, on some level it's simply confusing to call him anything else...
And here's the image you wanted, Sim:
