It appears that another major milestone of the Disney Company is going unrecognized and uncelebrated. Seventy-five years ago this month, Goofy appeared for the first time, albeit in the form of Dippy Dawg, in the 1932 Mickey Mouse cartoon Mickey?s Revue.

Goofy is especially unique among his famous costars in that his performances were not limited to the intellectually-challenged but always good natured personality he came to embody . His range extended to his now famous Sport Goofy and ?How To? roles, and then ultimately to the post-war character of Mr. Geef, who was essentially a cartoon counterpart to the likes of television icons Ozzie Nelson and Ward Cleaver.

From the black and white shaggy persona of Dippy Dawg to his upcoming and hopeful return to glory later this year in How to Hook Up Your Home Theater, it is time to celebrate 75 years of Goofy-ness.

Wow, 75 years. Happy birthday Goofy. Although it seems since he isn't a pirate, why bother celebrating. It would just collide or interfere. Sad. I shall wish him a happy birthday tomorrow if I see him.

And to think, just 5 years ago is when I first met Bill Farmer, the current voice of Goofy! Just last year I met him again!
ROCK ON GOOFY!

How very true that is. Imagine, what would the character be like to :disneyland: had they not changed the name to "Goofy"? Well, I think they made the better decision.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GOOFY!

All the better for the name to be changed to Goofy then.

In the story, "Goofy: Movie Star", it is revealed why they "changed" his named from Dippy Dawg to Goofy.
