Goofy

Goofy is a Disney character I’ve always found repugnant both his character and his looks. But it IS fascinating to think about all the different names he has had! Dippy Dawg was, I believe, the first. Then he was Dippy the Goof. Then, I recall, just The Goof. He was also Mr. George G. Geef. Following that was he was called Goofy Geef. There was Sport Goofy, there was Mighty Knight and his action hero guise was Super Goof. It is interesting that Mickey Mouse was canine Goofy’s best friend yet he never complained to Mickey about the second class treatment and citizenship of Pluto.

Did you know that Mickey and Minnie went to divorce court? The judge inquired, “Ms. Mouse, why are you seeking a divorce from Mr. Mouse?” Minnie tearfully replied, “It was Mickey that instigated this divorce and he said he wanted one because, pardon my French Your Honor, but Mickey said I was a ‘fucking idiot’!” Mickey jumped from his chair and shouted out, “I didn’t say I wanted a divorce because you were a fucking idiot. I said I wanted a divorce because you were fucking Goofy!”
