For 42 years I thought Goofy was a cow now I find out he is actually a dog. A dog that talks and wears clothes that has a pet dog called Pluto that doesnt talk or wear clothes.
My life has been turned upside down.

Re: You Learn Something New Every Day !!
Yep. When I was a kid, I had a big hardcover book of Disney stories, including one about how Goofy was "discovered" while sitting in a movie theatre. And was explicitly described as a dog.

To be perfectly honest, Pluto is MICKEY'S pet. Goofy does not have a pet.
The cow is named Clarabelle and she disappeared by the mid-30s.

I grew up with the couple Orazio and Clarabella, and it was just the 70's...
The greatest legacy he leaves is that he made a generation of people think for themselves. He didnt quite manage to change the world but he changed the way people looked at it. It's a sad day - but what a life

I did too. But Disney stopped using them in cartoons in the mid-30s. Reruns.evair wrote:Clarabella disappeared?Wolter wrote:To be perfectly honest, Pluto is MICKEY'S pet. Goofy does not have a pet.

It took me a minute to realize Orazio was Horace Horsecollar.

That's probably a nod to Goofy's cartoon origins. He was originally a heckler at a Mickey Mouse Revue type show (called something different then, but looked similar and had the same laugh). He was eventually turned into a friend of Mickey & the gang.Dr. Medulla wrote:Yep.

The animators actually referred to him as "The Goof," not Goofy.

Perfect example of classism in Hollywood. Everybody knows that Walt Disney was an advocate of slavery.101Walterton wrote: A dog that talks and wears clothes that has a pet dog called Pluto that doesnt talk or wear clothes.
