Later the same year, he was re-imagined as a younger character, now called Goofy, in the short '' The Whoopee Party''. During the 1930s, he was used extensively as part of a comedy trio with Mickey and Donald. Starting in 1939, Goofy was given his own series of shorts that were popular in the 1940s and early 1950s. Two ''Goofy'' shorts were nominated for an Oscar: '' How to Play Football'' (1944) and '' Aquamania'' (1961).

Originally known as Dippy Dawg, the character is more commonly known simply as "Goofy", a name used in his short film series. In his 1950s cartoons, he usually played a character called George G. Geef. Sources from the ''Goof Troop'' continuity give the character's full name as G. G. "Goofy" Goof, likely in reference to the 1950s name. In many other sources, both animated and comics, the surname Goof continues to be used. In other 2000s-era comics, the character's full name has occasionally been given as Goofus D. Dawg.


Characteristics

In the comics and his pre-1992 animated appearances, Goofy was usually single and childless. Unlike Mickey and Donald, he did not have a steady girlfriend. The exception was the 1950s cartoons, in which Goofy played a character called George Geef who was married and at one point became the father of a kid named George Junior. In the ''

, and the character of Max made further animated appearances until 2004. This marked a division between animation and comics, as the latter kept showing Goofy as a single childless character, excluding comics taking place in the ''Goof Troop'' continuity. After 2004, Max disappeared from animation, thus removing the division between the two media. Goofy's wife was never shown, while George Geef's wife appeared— but always with her face unseen—in 1950s-produced cartoon shorts depicting the character as a "family man". In the comics, Goofy usually appears as Mickey's sidekick, though he also is occasionally shown as a protagonist. Goofy lives in Mouseton in the comics and in Spoonerville in ''Goof Troop''. In comics books and strips, Goofy's closest relatives are his smarter nephew Gilbert. and his grandmother, simply called Grandma Goofy. In Italian comics, he has been given several cousins, including adventurer Arizona Goof (original Italian name: Indiana Pipps), who is a spoof of the fictional archaeologist

(a distinctive chuckle) that is sometimes followed by a "hoo hoo hoo hoo!", and especially the Goofy holler (YAAAAAAAAH-HOO-HOO-HOO-EEEEE!). In the classic shorts, he would sometimes say "Somethin' wrong here" (first heard in '' Lonesome Ghosts'') whenever he suspected something was not right about the situation he was currently in, or sing a few bars of "The World Owes Me a Livin'" from the Silly Symphonies cartoon '' The Grasshopper and the Ants'' (the first instance of Goofy singing this song is '' On Ice''). In ''The Grasshopper and the Ants'', the Grasshopper had an aloof character similar to Goofy and shared the same voice actor (Pinto Colvig) as him. According to biographer Neal Gabler,

Origin and early years

The character of Goofy originated with his voice actor, a former circus and vaudville actor, comedian, clown and chalk talk artist Pinto Colvig, who began working as a story man for the Disney Studio in 1930. According to Colvig, one day in 1931, he was having a conversation with

, and began to reminisce about “…a grinny, half-baked village nitwit back in my hometown whose mannerisms I had copied and used for one of my former stage characters, ''The Oregon Appleknocker''.” Colvig later identified this “village nitwit” as a local flagman that worked at Jacksonville, Oregon's main railroad crossing, who he described as a “...slow-minded guy who is the happiest fellow in the world. Each small town has one, and he always seems to hang around the depot... As a youngster I used to watch every train come in, and I knew all the details and peculiarities of that flagman's life. I impersonated that man for Disney, not in jest, but because I admired him and his simplicity. I always laughed with him rather than at him." Walt Disney was captivated by Colvig's impersonation and, eager to expand his cast of recognizable characters, decided to develop a new character around Colvig's former stage routine for Mickey's ever-growing roster of supporting players. The next day, Colvig went in front of a microphone and camera and started acting out the loose ungainly mannerisms of his ''Oregon Appleknocker'' persona, while animator Tom Palmer sketched out a character based on his performance. “Thus ‘Goofy, the Guy with a Silly Laugh’ was hatched”, as Colvig would later declare with pride. The character first appeared in '' Mickey's Revue'', released on May 27, 1932. Directed by Jackson, the short features

performing a song and dance show: a typical Mickey cartoon of the time. What set this short apart was the appearance of a new character: a dog-like member of the audience who constantly irritates his fellow spectators by noisily crunching peanuts and laughing loudly (the laugh being provided by Colvig) until two of those fellow spectators knocked him out with their mallets, before revealing they have the same exact laugh. This early version of Goofy was named ''Dippy Dawg'' by Disney artist Frank Webb and was depicted as an old man with a white beard, a puffy tail, and no trousers, shorts, or undergarments. A considerably younger and more refined version of the ''Dippy Dawg'' character next appeared in '' The Whoopee Party'' (released on September 17, 1932) this time as a party guest and a friend of Mickey and his gang. ''Dippy Dawg'' made a total of six appearances between 1932 and 1933, but most of them were mere cameos. By his seventh appearance, in '' Orphan's Benefit'' (released on August 11, 1934), he gained the new name "Goofy", but was still considered a minor character.


Development under Art Babbitt

Inspired by popular comedy trio acts of the era – such as ''

together in a cartoon entitled '' Mickey's Service Station'': directed by Ben Sharpsteen and eventually released on March 16, 1935. In mid-1934, Walt held a story meeting for ''Mickey's Service Station'' where he and Sharpsteen began assigning animators to specific sequences. One of the animators assigned to the short, Art Babbitt, took a particular liking to a sequence with Goofy. "I had to fight for that..." Babbitt remembered years later: Babbitt's scene with Goofy was originally timed to be 7 feet of film (just over 4 seconds); however, Babbitt padded his scene adding additional bits of comic business, with the final scene being 57 feet (38 seconds) long. Sharpsteen was furious that Babbitt had gone over his allotted time without permission, but Walt was impressed by Babbitt's work and approved his scene. Upon completing his sequence with Goofy in ''Mickey's Service Station'', Babbitt (who had been studying Konstantin Stanislavski's theories of

) not only redesigned Goofy from his earlier ganglier appearance to a more ovular streamlined version, but also psychoanalyzed the character: something no other animator had done before. Babbitt wrote a two-and-a-half page character bible of Goofy, entitled ''Character Analysis of the Goof'' that circulated the studio in late 1934. Some of what Babbitt wrote included: Babbitt's ''Character Analysis'' was considered highly influential within the studio, and character bibles were quickly adopted for all Disney's major stars; including Mickey, Donald and

. ''Mickey's Service Station'' also set the template for a series of films where Mickey, Donald and Goofy attempted to perform a certain task, with each character being separated early on, and attempting to solve a problem in their own way and with their distinct style of comedy, before reuniting at the end – often resulting failure rather than success. While other animators would also animate the character of Goofy in these "trio" shorts (such as in '' Mickey's Fire Brigade'', released in August 1935, where an earlier Pre-Babbitt version of Goofy was animated by

), Art Babbitt became the Goofy specialist at the Disney studio and the authority on the character. Babbitt continued to develop the character of Goofy when he next animated him in '' On Ice'' (released in September 1935). Here he developed a technique he called "breaking the joints" – where Goofy's arms, legs, feet and other appendages would bend the wrong way for a few frames before popping back into the correct position. This gave the character a lot more loose and unpredictable movements, emphasising his stupid personality. Babbitt finally crystalized the character of Goofy with his third time animating the character in '' Moving Day'' (released in June 1936), where he was tasked to animate a scene of Goofy attempting to move a piano onto a truck. For this scene Babbitt created another first for animation: using his recently acquired

camera, he filmed Pinto Colvig performing Goofy's movements in his ''Oregon Appleknocker'' persona, making Babbitt the first animator to use live-action reference. As animation historian Michael Barrier wrote of this scene: "Babbitt's ''Moving Day'' animation was by far his most ambitious... Babbitt's ''Goofy'' was the first Disney character after orm Ferguson's ''Pluto'' to have a visible inner life and ''Goofy'', stupid though he was, was clearly more complex than ''Pluto''. For the most part, ''Pluto'' simply reacted; ''Goofy'' schemed and planned, however dimly." Ben Sharpsteen directed the majority of the Mickey, Donald and Goofy trio cartoons. '' Clock Cleaners'' and '' Lonesome Ghosts'' (released on both October 15 and December 24, 1937 respectively), are considered the highlights of this series, with the former being voted Number 27 in the book ''The 50 Greatest Cartoons''. Progressively during the series, Mickey's part diminished in favor of Donald, Goofy, and

. The reason for this was simple: between the easily frustrated Donald and Pluto and the always-living-in-a-world-of-his-own Goofy, Mickey—who became progressively gentler and more laid-back—seemed to act as the

of the trio. The studio's artists found that it had become easier coming up with new gags for Goofy or Donald than Mickey, to a point that Mickey's role had become unnecessary. '' Polar Trappers'', released on June 17, 1938, was the first film to feature Goofy and Donald as a duo. Mickey would return in '' The Whalers'', released on August 19, 1938, but this and '' Tugboat Mickey'', released on April 26, 1940, would be the last two shorts to feature all three characters as a team.

. Kinney found Goofy to be "a nice long, lean character that you could move; you could get poses out of him, crazy poses". A sports fan, he would place Goofy in ''How to...'' themed shorts in which Goofy would demonstrate, poorly, how to perform certain sports. ''How to Ride a Horse'', a segment in the 1941 film '' The Reluctant Dragon'', would establish the tone and style of future shorts like '' The Art of Skiing'' (1941), '' How to Fish'' (1942), '' How to Swim'' (1942) and '' How to Play Golf'' (1944). Cartoon shorts like '' How to Play Baseball'' (1942), '' How to Play Football'' (1944) and '' Hockey Homicide'' (1945) would feature Goofy not as a single character but multiple characters playing the opposing teams. Animation historian Paul Wells considers ''Hockey Homicide'' to be the "peak" of the sports cartoons. Some of the later sports-theme cartoons, like '' Double Dribble'' (1946) and ''They're Off'' (1948) would be directed by Jack Hannah. Pinto Colvig had a falling out with Disney in 1937 and left the studio, leaving Goofy without a voice. Kinney recalls "so we had to use whatever was in the library; you know, his laugh and all those things. But he did have a hell of a library, of different lines of dialogue". In addition, the studio had voice artist Danny Webb record new dialog. Kinney also paired Goofy with a narrator voiced by John McLeish: "He had this deep voice, just a great voice, and he loved to recite
Shakespeare William Shakespeare ( 23 April 1564 – 23 April 1616) was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's natio ...
. So I suggested, my God, we'll get McLeish for a narrator, and don't tell him that he's not doing it straight. Just let him play it". Colvig returned to Disney in 1941 and resumed the voice until 1967.


The ''Everyman'' years

Disney had started casting Goofy as a suburban everyman in the late 1940s. And with this role came changes in depiction. Goofy's facial stubble and his protruding teeth were removed to give him a more refined look. His clothing changed from a casual style to wearing business suits. He began to look more human and less dog-like, with his ears hidden in his hat. By 1951, Goofy was portrayed as being married and having a son of his own. Neither the wife nor the son was portrayed as dog-like. The wife's face was never seen, but her form was human. The son lacked Goofy's dog-like ears. One notable short made during this era is '' Motor Mania'' (1950). Kinney disliked making most of these later shorts, stating "...those pictures were disasters, because I didn't fight it hard enough". Goofy would also be given a formal name in these cartoons, George Geef. Christopher P. Lehman connects this depiction of the character to Disney's use of humor and animal characters to reinforce social
conformity Conformity or conformism is the act of matching attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors to social group, group norms, politics or being like-minded. Social norm, Norms are implicit, specific rules, guidance shared by a group of individuals, that guide t ...
. He cites as an example '' Aquamania'' (1961), where everyman Goofy drives to the lake for a boat ride. During a scene depicting a pile-up accident, every car involved has a boat hitched to its rear bumper. Goofy is portrayed as one of the numerous people who had the same idea about how to spend their day. Every contestant in the boat race also looks like Goofy. Lehman does not think that Disney used these aspects of the film to poke fun at conformity. Instead, the studio apparently accepted conformity as a fundamental aspect of the society of the United States. ''Aquamania'' was released in the 1960s, but largely maintained and prolonged the status quo of the 1950s. The decade had changed, but the Disney studio followed the same story formulas for theatrical animated shorts it had followed in the previous decade. And Lehman points that Disney received social approval for it. ''Aquamania'' itself received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.


Later appearances

After the 1965 educational film ''Goofy's Freeway Troubles'', Goofy was mostly retired except for cameos because of the cartoons' fading popularity and the death of voice actor Pinto Colvig. Goofy had an act in the 1969 tour show '' Disney on Parade'' with costar Herbie the Love Bug. His profile began to rise again after his appearance in '' Mickey's Christmas Carol'' as the ghost of Jacob Marley. After that, he appeared in '' Sport Goofy in Soccermania'', a 1987 television special. He made a brief appearance in

''Goof Troop'' eventually led to Goofy and Max starring in their own movies: '' A Goofy Movie'' (in 1995) and '' An Extremely Goofy Movie'' (in 2000); as well as starring in their own segments of '' Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'' (in 1999) and '' Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas'' (in 2004). While Goofy is clearly depicted as a single custodial parent in all of these appearances, by the end of ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'' he begins a romance with the character Sylvia Marpole, Max being grown and in college by this point. In one episode of '' Bonkers'', Goofy has an off-screen cameo whose distinctive laugh is "stolen" by a disgruntled toon. In another episode, both he and Pete cameo as actors who film cartoons at Wackytoon Studios. And in a third episode, Goofy cameos as part of a group of civilians held hostage in a bank robbery.

In the interactive website '' Toontown Online'', Goofy previously ran his own neighborhood called Goofy Speedway until the close of Toontown. Goofy Speedway was a place where players could race cars and enter the Grand Prix. Tickets were exclusively spent on everything there, instead of the usual jellybean currency.

Comics

Comic strips first called the character Dippy Dawg, but his name changed to Goofy by 1936. In the early years, the other members of Mickey Mouse's gang considered him a meddler and a pest but eventually warmed up to him. The ''Mickey Mouse'' comic strip drawn by
Floyd Gottfredson Arthur Floyd Gottfredson (May 5, 1905July 22, 1986) was an American cartoonist best known for his defining work on the Mickey Mouse (comic strip), ''Mickey Mouse'' comic strip, which he worked on from 1930 until his retirement in 1975. His contri ...
was generally based on what was going on in the Mickey Mouse shorts at the time, but when Donald Duck's popularity led to Donald Duck gaining his own newspaper strip, Disney decided that he was no longer allowed to appear in Gottfredson's strips. Accordingly, Goofy remained alone as Mickey's sidekick, replacing Horace Horsecollar as Mickey's fellow adventurer and companion. Similarly in comics, the Mickey Mouse world with Goofy as Mickey's sidekick was usually very separate from the Donald Duck world and crossovers were rare. Goofy also has a characteristic habit of holding his hand in front of his mouth, a trademark that was introduced by Paul Murry. A character called "Glory-Bee" was Goofy's girlfriend for some years. In 1990, when Disney was publishing their own comics, Goofy starred in '' Goofy Adventures'', that featured him starring in various parodies. Perhaps because of poor sales, ''Goofy Adventures'' was the first of the company's titles to be canceled by the Disney Comics Implosion, ending at its 17th issue.

The third and definitive version debuted in "The Thief of Zanzipar" in ''Walt Disney Super Goof'' No. 1 (Oct. 1965), written by Bob Ogle and drawn by Murry, in which the origin of his powers are special peanuts Goofy finds in his backyard. In this story, Super Goof battles the Super Thief, a scientific genius who shrinks world landmarks, and holds them for ransom. The effect of Super Goof's special peanuts is temporary, so the superpowers wear off after a couple of hours. Many stories use this as a comical effect with the powers wearing off at the most inappropriate time. The peanuts give similar superpowers to whoever eats them, not just Goofy. In some stories, random criminals who have accidentally eaten the peanuts have temporarily become supervillains. In a crossover story, Huey, Dewey and Louie found a super goober plant sprouted by a dropped goober, and "borrowed" Super Goof's powers; after doing a round of super deeds, the ducks' powers faded, and they had to be rescued by the Junior Woodchucks. On occasion, Gilbert uses the super goobers to become a superhero under the name Super Gilbert, beginning with the story "The Twister Resisters" in ''Walt Disney Super Goof'' No. 5. Gold Key Comics subsequently published the comic-book series ''Walt Disney Super Goof'' for 74 issues through 1984. A handful of stories were scripted by Mark Evanier. Additional Super Goof stories (both original and reprints) appeared in '' Walt Disney Comics Digest''. The Dynabrite comics imprint issued by Western in the late 1970s and ''Disney Comic Album'' No. 8 (1990) from Disney Comics contained reprints.
