Editing Mickey Mouse universe (section)

=== Detective Casey ===
'''Detective Casey''' (sometimes Inspector Casey) is [[#Chief O'Hara|Chief O'Hara]]'s head detective, first appearing in the Mickey Mouse daily comic in the 1938 sequence ''The Plumber's Helper''. The story was plotted and penciled by [[Floyd Gottfredson]] and written by [[Merrill De Maris]]. Casey disappeared from American comics in the 1950s, but was used frequently in Europe, especially in Italy, afterwards; from 2003, he returned as a frequent player in the American comics.

Despite his occupation, Casey is an impatient man of only average intelligence. Thus, while sometimes a successful detective, he is prone to bungling cases as well. Therefore, Chief O'Hara often recruits [[Mickey Mouse]] to help solve some of Casey's cases, much to Casey's general irritation.
