Goofy Question

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
Postby SFGAmfan on January 27th, 2004, 5:23 pm
Ok, so for my one class, my teacher is giving us extra credit or something like that if we can tell him what exactly Goofy from Walt Disney is. I know what the other characters are but I never really knew what goofy was. Anyone have any clues? Thanks!

Here's a link: disney.go.com

And bcdb.com

They don't say exactly what Goofy is, but they give a history. I'm pretty sure he's a dog, but I don't know what kind.

At the second link they say he used to be called "Dippy Dawg" back in the day. I always thought that he was a dog too. At least thats what he looks like to me.
My Top 5: 1)TTD, 2)Millennium Force, 3)Raptor, 4)Deja Vu, 5)Raging Bull

We were discussing it in my class and my teacher was saying that he's not a dog, but after reading what was on the Disney site, I definately think he's a dog.

Back in the day Goofy was Dippy "DAWG" So yes Goofy is a dog. Kinda makes you wonder what Pluto is thinking.

If your teacher doesn't think its a dog, then whats her answer?

I'm going to ask this questions over on the boards at intercot.com for you.

Well he really didn't know but he didn't think it was a dog since Pluto is a dog. Thanks for all the help guys! :)

Um, uh, yes! My locker is in the G hallway on the third floor by the windows overlooking the bird bath/fountain. I ride bus number 142 route A. Umm, I'm in the indoor archery unit in PE and I, erm, have lunch number 3. What did you get for number 3 on bigas' homework? I couldn't find that one in the book. Other than that, i'll meet you outside the door tommrow exactly 2min 10 seconds after the passing bell. :wink:

Reasons why I do not think Aero737 goes to OLCHS

1. His location on the side is Geneva, WI far away from Oak Lawn
2. He doesn't go there
3. What the hell is a G hallway?
4. No windows in OLCHS 3rd floor.
5. OLCHS is too cheap to give birds a bath
6. Archery sucks
And finally, he actually sounds educated....nobody who really goes to Oak Lawn High School ever sounds educated. :)

Just my guess that he doesn't really go there :).
[end very lame attempt at bringing humor to this topic]

As far as Goofy goes though, I would trust GreatAmerica2003 since he is a Disney fan more so then alot of people.

Here's a link arguing that Goofy isn't a dog:
http://www.gco.com/observer/goofy.html

The Goofy "Dog or Not a Dog" question came about in one of WDW's Planning Videos..but the mystery was never settled.

Edit:
After skimming through the article, the writer compares Goofy to Pluto. I guess I never looked at it like this, but Pluto does have paws while Goofy has regular "fingers."

That's what I was about to say! I don't remember a G hall or 3rd period lunch or anything. By the way, I told my teacher and got extra credit, thanks guys!

Some Facts:

* Goofy once had a name (George Geef).
* Mrs. Goofy was heard in four cartoons, but never seen.
* Donald Duck's nephews' mom was named Dumbella Duck.
