Goofy's HistoryQuote: 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. Sources including the Goof Troop television show reveal the character's full name to be Goofy Goof, but in A Goofy Movie, it's said to be Goofy Goofey
Goofy first appeared in Mickey's Revue, first released on May 25, 1932. Directed by Wilfred Jackson this short features Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow performing another song and dance show. Mickey and his gang's animated shorts by this point routinely featured song and dance numbers. What would make this short notable was the appearance of a new character, whose behavior served as a running gag. Dippy Dawg, as he was named by Disney artists, was a member of the audience. He constantly irritated his fellow spectators by noisily crunching peanuts and laughing loudly, till two of those fellow spectators knocked him out with their mallets. This early version of Goofy had other differences with the later and more developed one besides the name. He was an old man with a white beard, a puffy tail and no trousers, shorts or undergarments. But the short introduced Goofy's distinct laughter. This laughter was provided by Pinto Colvig. He would serve as Goofy's voice actor until 1965. He was then replaced by (in order) George Johnson, Bob Jackman, Hal Smith, Tony Pope, Will Ryan, and currently, Bill Farmer.
A considerably younger Dippy Dawg then appeared in The Whoopee Party, first released on September 17, 1932, as a party guest and a friend of Mickey and his gang. Dippy Dawg made a total of four appearances in 1932 and two more in 1933, but most of them were mere cameos. But by his seventh appearance, in The Orphan's Benefit first released on August 11, 1934, he gained the new name "Goofy" and became a regular member of the gang along with new additions Donald Duck and Clara Cluck.
Mickey's Service Station directed by Ben Sharpsteen, first released on March 16, 1935, was the first of the classic "Mickey, Donald, and Goofy" comedy shorts. Those films had the trio trying to cooperate in performing a certain assignment given to them. Early on they became separated from each other. Then the short's focus started alternating between each of them facing the problems at hand, each in their own way and distinct style of comedy. The end of the short would reunite the three to share the fruits of their efforts, failure more often than success. Clock Cleaners, first released on October 15, 1937, and Lonesome Ghosts, first released on December 24, 1937, are usually considered the highlights of this series and animated classics. The later short has the trio as members of the agency "Ajax Ghost Exterminators" or as, often described later, precursors of the Ghostbusters. They are hired by phone to evict a number of ghosts from a haunted house. Unknown to them they were hired by the ghosts themselves, four lonesome ghosts who are bored because nobody has visited the house they are haunting for a long time. They wish to play tricks on the mortals. And they do through a series of inventive gags, but by the end the trio has managed to scare the ghosts out of the house. As Donald observes "You're a fine target, ya big sissies!". But Goofy offers what is considered the short's most memorable quote while warily looking around him: "I'm brave but I'm careful”."
Progressively during the series Mickey's part diminished in favor of Donald and Goofy. The reason for this was simple. Between the easily frustrated Donald 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 straight-man 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, first released on June 17, 1938, was the first film to feature Goofy and Donald as a duo. The short features the duo as partners and owners of "Donald and Goofy Trapping Co." They have settled in the Arctic for an unspecified period of time, to capture live walruses to bring back to civilization. Their food supplies consist of canned beans. The focus shifts between Goofy trying to set traps for walruses and Donald trying to catch penguins to use as food—both with the same lack of success. Mickey would return in The Whalers, first released in August 19, 1938, but this would be the last short of the 1930s to feature all three characters.
Goofy next starred at his first solo cartoon Goofy and Wilbur directed by d**k Huemer, first released in March 17, 1939. The short featured Goofy fishing with the help of Wilbur, his pet grasshopper.
In the 1940s Goofy did a series of solo How to... cartoons in which he would demonstrate, clumsily but always determined and never frustrated, how to do everything from snow ski to play football. Goofy had little dialogue in these cartoons, and a narator was used. The Goofy How to... cartoons worked so well they that they became a staple format, and are still used in current Goofy shorts.
Later, starting with Hockey Homicide (1945), Goofy starred in a series of cartoons where every character in the cartoon was a different version of Goofy. This took Goofy out of the role of just being a clumsy cartoon dog, and into a more complex role of symbolizing the struggles of the common man. The epitome of this staid everyman role for Goofy was in the cartoon No Smoking (1951) where Goofy, in a world of Goofyies, struggles desperately with nicotine addiction. The cartoon, a divergence into an edgier subject (something Disney has always tried to avoid), is now rarely if ever seen due to popular culutres aversion to cigerettes.
After the 1961 short Aquamania, Goofy was all but retired except from cameos and a brief appearance in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. In the 1990s Goofy got his own TV series called Goof Troop. In the show Goofy lives with his son Max and his cat Waffles, and they live next door to Pete and his family. Goof Troop eventually led to Goofy starring in his own movies: A Goofy Movie in (1995) and An Extremely Goofy Movie in (2000).
Goofy reverted back to his traditional personality on Mickey Mouse Works and appeared as head waiter on House of Mouse.
Goofy will co-star in the children's television series Disney's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
Comics
Comic strips first called the character Dippy Dawg but eventually his name changed to Goofy by 1939.
The comic strips drawn by Floyd Gottfredson for Disney were 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. 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.
In the comics Goofy also had a secret identity known as Super Goof, which appeared again later in an episode of House of Mouse. All info from Wikipedia

The Winning PromptQuote: RP Prompt: Poor little Roo has gotten up this morning and found that there is no breakfast waiting for him. Yawning sleepily he looks everywhere for his mother only to find Kanga is missing. Now it is up to you and the wonderful world of Disney to help little Roo find his missing Momma RP entry: Goofy walked down the path near Roo's house with a shovel over his shoulder. Yesterday he had learned how to ski and the week before how to mountain climb. He was sure to learn something interesting today. As he walked he sang... "Oh the world owes me a living...," Roo heard the voice of Goofy, as he searched for his Momma, and ran to his side. "Goofy, can you help me find my Momma?" Goofy smiled, "Well, Gorsh, of course I will. Now, how should we start?" After Goofy asked a voice came from nowhere, How to Find A Lost Momma. Roo looked all around for the voice and shrugged his shoulders. Step 1: Form a Search Party. To do this ask different people to help you. Goofy looked around and found Pluto, Copper, Pongo, and a few other dogs. "We'll you be our search party?" The dogs barked in agreement, "Great, it's Kanga we're looking for." Goofy, the dogs and Roo looked around the forest. "Maybe if you sniffed for her?" Goofy suggested. The dogs tried this and kept ending up next to Roo. "Well, this ain't working. Step 2: Use High Tech Gadgets, by send away mail. Goofy stood by the mailbox and out popped a box Labeled: High Tech Finding Things Company. Inside he found a bunch of items with bells and whistles, "This has got to work." He told Roo who smiled, unsure he was right. Goofy tried a few of the items, but nothing happened. He hit them and pressed the buttons, but nothing. "Well, what's wrong with these durn things?" He flipped one over and Roo looked with him. "They need batteries." Roo commented and then they went to the store to buy the batteries. Goofy went to pay and his pockets were empty from buying the high tech things. Step 3: Use a Dowling Rod Made to Find A Momma. Goofy found a twig that branched out into a fork. "Well, let's give it a try." Goofy and Roo walked and when the rod started to vibrate stopped and looked around. There was no Kanga, but a nice big river. Goofy didn?t notice the river and kept walking, "Ah-ha-ha-hooey!" Goofy screamed as he fell in the river.
Step 4: Use a Momma call. Goofy whistled and then waited, "She should be here any minute." Sure enough they heard feet. When the noise got closer they saw Mommas, just not Kanga. There was Mrs. Potts, Mrs. Jumbo, Sarabi, and a few others. Both Goofy and Roo sighed.
Step 5... "Roo?" a voice called. Roo went running to the voice and Goofy followed. It was Kanga. "I was so worried about you!" "I was looking for you, Momma. Goofy was helping me." Roo said as he hugged Kanga. "Well, thanks for watching over and helping Roo." Kanga said with a smile. She had only been behind the house hanging laundry. "Well, gorsh, you?re welcome!" Goofy knew he would have an interesting day. And that?s How To Find a Momma. Roo rolled his eyes and Kanga looked all around for the voice. Goofy just laughed. That voice was always teaching him things.

The story so far:
Spooky met Gill and Jackson. Gill told Spooky that her item would come to her in time. She also saw Torvil with a backpack; Kim.
After a few days Spooky found a hat on a breeze. It was goofy-looking and she didn't know who or where it belonged.
Spooky met up with Torvil again and they figured out that the hat was an item, the resident was named Goofy.
Goofy met Kim who is another item. They discussed being an item. She had a rough time though, Goofy didn't really understand what she meat. "What's an item?" "What does stages of development mean?" Kim finally told him that it was about the future, which he knew meant tomorrow.

Spooky met up with a teen Traverse Town named Vincent, Vin. He was a very affectionate guy, telling Spooky that she was pretty when blushing. He was rather helpful though, he told her how to communticate with Goofy. She can ask him questions now and ask for a certian response. He aslo told her that items can understand everything and will remember everything when they grow.
Goofy rolled around and did flips for Spooky and Vincent. Vin asked if he liked the name Goofy so he flipped for them. He would get the hang of the question answerig eventually.

Something really weird is going on at the Magic Kingdom! Spooky woke up and the castle was gone. She was scared and went wandering around until she found a pumpkin patch. At the patch a boy popped out and sacred her, making her lose Goofy. He told her he was doing research on fear.
After he dissapeared Spooky finally found Goofy stuck between two huge pumpkins. What will Spooky and Goofy find next in the Halloween world?
