Goofy Through the Years

Well, hi again! Today I'm going to do a post about Goofy. When I here Goofy's laugh it makes me want to laugh like him!

Goofy first appeared in Mickey's Revue. There are lots of differences between this Goofy and the Goofy today. First, he wasn't even called Goofy! He was originally called Dippy Dawg. In this short he was a old dog. He also has a green vest, not brown. The only things the same about Dippy and Goofy
is his hat and his laugh.

This Goofy is younger than before and looks very much the same
but there are still differences. He is stilled called Dippy Dawg!
He still has his green hat, but doesn't have his big, brown shoes.
Instead, he has yellow, circle shoes. I guess Goofy's feet got
bigger!




Goofy is now called Goofy. He has his big shoes. He has has his brown vest. Sometimes in the cartoons with this Goofy, he is called The Goof.








Goofy now lost his ears and becomes a family man, with a son Goofy Jr. He is not so clumsy anymore and is smarter. This Goofy is called G. G. Geef.







Goofy has his ears back and has a son called
Max Goof. This present-day Goofy is very
similar to the one in the old color Mickey
cartoons. He appears in The House of
Mouse, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and has
two movies with he and his son starring in it,
A Goofy Movie and A Extremely Goofy Movie.


There was a very similar character to Goofy called Goopy Geer. This character was created by Hugh Harman and Rudolph Ising who worked on Bosko cartoons for Warner Bros. They previously worked at the Disney studio. Goopy was never popular and only appeared in 4 shorts, Goopy Geer, Moonlight For Two, The Queen Was In the Parlor, and Bosko in Dutch. Maybe Disney was copying them because they copied Disney by making Foxy, very similar to Mickey Mouse.
