The Helper's Origin Story that never was?

[M.J. Prior]

As a follow-up on my previous post: I remember reading a 
message to DCML, in which someone (Lars Jensen? Olaf 
Solstrand?) mentioned that he wanted to do a story on the 
origins of Gyro's helper, until he heared of Don Rosa 
planning to do just such a story. I'm still curious as to 
what became of this unfinished(?) Helper's Origin Story.

I know that Don Rosa already told us (his version of) the 
origin of Gyro's Little Helper in "Gyro's First 
Invention", but that doesn't mean we can't have multiple 
versions. Especially since the other version originated 
before of simultaneously with Don Rosa's, so it's possibly 
not even influenced by Rosa's version.

As it is, "Gyro's First Invention" is probably my second 
least favourite Rosa story, right after "The Three 
Caballeros and the Preposterous Title That Didn't Have 
Anything To Do With The Story", albeit not because of the 
Helper's origin story.
