How does 'Comic and Cosmic Pinocchiop' reimagine the role of Geppetto in the story?

In 'Comic and Cosmic Pinocchiop', Geppetto is often portrayed as a brilliant but eccentric inventor or scientist, perhaps even an explorer himself. He's less a simple woodcarver and more a pioneer pushing the boundaries of technology and space exploration, which directly influences Pinocchio's own journey and the challenges he faces in the cosmos. His motivations are often tied to a larger scientific or philosophical quest.
