Fliplip, Sidney, and Armadillo

Fliplip, Sidney and Armadillo are Professor Nefarious's three bumbling students and henchmen. They regularly come into conflict with Mickey Mouse and the Sleuth

Professor Nefarious sees himself as a "teacher of crime" for his three henchmen-pupils Fliplip, Sidney and Armadillo. Their hideout is a rundown townhouse with the words "University of Criminal Sciences" written on its front door. While Nefarious is reasonably smart (although his own megalomania sometimes hinders his plans), his three accomplices are thoroughly inept comical villains. Mickey and the Sleuth imprison the gang at the end of each story, although Nefarious himself generally manages to escape.
