You Learn Something New Every Day !!

Post by 101Walterton »

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.

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.

Clarabella disappeared?
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.

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.

His original name, if I recall correctly, was Dippy Dawg.

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.

What you both say seems to ring a bell with my memory, especially the heckler part.

You are correct he was Dippy Dawg before Goofy.
