Trudy Van Tubb

Trudy is a character created by Romano Scarpa, first appearing in Topolino e la collana Chirikawa (Mickey and the Chirikawa Necklace). She is Pete's girlfriend in comic stories.

Despite her fat physique, she is very feminine and often worried about her looks. She has become a mainstream character in Italian comics as more writers other than Scarpa have used her, since her relationship with Pete allows to portray him in a more "human" light while still being villainous.
