In his 1950s cartoons, he usually played a character called George G. Sources from the Goof Troop continuity give the character's full name as 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. Contents.Background According to, the original voice artist for the character, Goofy was inspired by a 'grinny, half-baked village nitwit' from his hometown of, and he had previously used his mannerisms for a stage character he created named 'The Oregon Appleknocker'.
After a discussion with and director, it was decided that this would be the basis for a new member of the expanding Mickey Mouse cast. Colvig would spend the next day in the recording studio acting out the new cartoon character in front of animator. Based on Colvig's 'grotesque poses and expressions', Palmer would sketch out what would become Goofy. Animator is credited for developing his character. In a 1930s lecture, Babbitt described the character as: 'Think of the Goof as a composite of an everlasting optimist, a gullible, a half-wit, a shiftless, good-natured colored boy and a hick'.In the comics and his pre-1992 animated appearances, Goofy was usually single and childless. Unlike Mickey and Donald, he didn't 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 series (1992–1993), however, Goofy was portrayed as a single father with a son named, 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.

Mickey and his gang's animated shorts by this point routinely featured song and dance numbers. It begins as a typical Mickey cartoon of the time, but what would set this short apart from all that had come before was the appearance of a new character, whose behavior served as a running gag. Dippy Dawg, as he was named by artists (Frank Webb), was a member of the audience.
He constantly irritated his fellow spectators by noisily crunching peanuts and laughing loudly, until two of those fellow spectators knocked him out with their mallets (and then did the same exact laugh as he did). This early version of Goofy had other differences with the later and more developed ones 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. A considerably younger Dippy Dawg then appeared in, first released on September 17, 1932, as a party guest and a friend of Mickey and his gang.

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., first released on October 15, 1937, and, first released on December 24, 1937, are usually considered the highlights of this series and animated classics.Progressively during the series, Mickey's part diminished in favor of Donald, Goofy, and Pluto. 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., first released on June 17, 1938, was the first film to feature Goofy and Donald as a duo.

According to, this is what caused the How to.
Cartoons of the 1940s in which Goofy had little dialogue, and a narrator (often John McLeish) was used (they would also reuse Colvig's voice in recording or hire a man named Danny Webb to imitate it). In the cartoons, Goofy would demonstrate clumsily but always determined and never frustrated, how to do everything from snow ski to sleeping, to football, to riding a horse. The Goofy How to.

Goofy in his 'George Geef' persona in Cold War (1951).The 1950s saw Goofy transformed into a family man going through the trials of everyday life, such as dieting, giving up smoking, and the problems of raising children. Walt Disney himself came up with this idea, hoping it would put personality back into the character that he felt was lost when Goofy was merely a crowd of extras.
Goofy is never called 'Goofy' during this period. While every cartoon continued with the opening, ' Walt Disney presents Goofy' before each cartoon's title, he was usually called 'George Geef' in the cartoons' dialogue. When the stories featured Goofy as multiple characters, then he had numerous other names as well. In addition, the 1950s Goofy shorts gave Goofy a makeover.

Goofy's facial stubble and his protruding teeth were removed to give him a more refined look. His clothing changed from a to wearing. 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.Lehman connects this depiction of the character to Disney's use of humor and animal characters to reinforce social. He cites as an example (1961), where everyman Goofy drives to the lake for a boat ride.
During a scene depicting a, 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.
Aquamania was released in the 1960s, but largely maintained and prolonged the of the 1950s.
