Professor Van Herb is an anthropomorphic dog.
Description[]
A dotty old professor and plant genetics expert, Professor Van Herb developed a species of sentient plants known as Irrigonias to help locate and carry waters to draught-stricken areas. However, he lost the prototype, which, after being cared for by an unwitting Goofy, caused quite a bit of chaos in Mouseton until the Professor turned up to explain.
Behind the scenes[]
Professor Van Herb features in the 2003 story The Thirsty Monsters story.
