Goofy is a fictional character from the Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse universe. He is an anthropomorphic dog and is one of Mickey Mouse's best friends. His original concept name was "Dippy Dawg" in cartoon shorts created during the 1930s; then his name was given as "George Geef" and "G.G. Geef" in cartoon shorts during the 1950s (implying that "Goofy" was a nickname). Contemporary sources, including the Goof Troop television show and A Goofy Movie, now give the character's full name to be Goofy Goof. The Goof Troop pilot also refers to 'G. G. Goof' on a diploma, likely a reference to the original name. Along with being not extremely intelligent, Goofy's main flaw is, predictably, clumsiness.While his wife was drawn in different styles and shown only during shorts when he was cast in "family man" situations, Goofy is unique in being portrayed as both a widower and having a son, Max Goof, instead of only a nephew like some other Disney characters. He does have a nephew, Gilbert, but that relative has hardly been seen since Goofy became a father.Goofy has a super-hero alter ego, called Super Goof. He usually flies above the city in red flannel jammies and his characteristic hat and helps people, in a clear parody of Superman. His favourite "shout" is Ta-Dah.Layout Provided By FreeCodeSource.com
