Geegaw Hackwrench is Gadget's rarely-mentioned father on Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers, and an old friend of Monterey Jack's. His only appearances were limited to a mention and photo cameo in one episode, as well as in a flashback at the beginning of one comic book story.

Appearance[]

Geegaw was a male mouse. His height remains unknown as he has never been seen together with any other character in the show. His fur and his moustache were about the same brown as Monty's, his face showed a brighter color.

He wore an aviator jacket, an aviator scarf and an aviator cap with a pair of goggles, the latter two quite similar to what Monty wears. So his outfit left no doubt about what he loved doing the most.

He was also left-handed.

Personality[]

Monty refers to Geegaw as "the greatest pilot in aviation history". He had a plane of his own, the Screaming Eagle. He must have been quite an adventurer as well, flying around with his friend Monty, maybe even after Gadget was born. It is also likely that piloting was among the things he taught his daughter.

The way Gadget misses him gives the impression of him having been a wonderful father to her. And he was the forgiving kind—although he got angry about Monty when they were in Zanzibar, he left the Screaming Eagle behind when he went on his last journey, saying that Monty shall have it.

Though the old Disney comics, especially Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers 17, say something different, Geegaw has never been an inventor. If he had been one, Gadget wouldn't have had to gain her engineering knowledge all by herself.

Biography[]

Geegaw was a skilled inventor, engineer, and pilot, much like his daughter Gadget. At an unknown point before the series' events, he disappeared, possibly dying in an airplane accident. Gadget was obviously very connected to her father, and still misses him, carrying a photograph of him with her.

Role[]

In "To the Rescue (Part 3)", the "Rescue Rangers to be" had to fly to Glacier Bay somehow. So Monty led them to the old bomber plane in which Geegaw used to live with his daughter Gadget. But when they discovered that he wasn't there, Gadget told them that he won't come back and that she had lost him one year ago. This leaves his fate mostly unknown.
