Highlights
Goofy is a Walt Disney animated character, a friend of Mickey Mouse. His first appearance was in 1932's "Mickey's Revue" where he was known to animators as "Dippy Dawg." By 1934, the Goofy moniker was used, and his first solo project was 1939's "Goofy and Wilbur."
The character is an anthropomorphic dog, known for being a bit, well, goofy, dim and clumsy. He has a trademark yuck-uh-yuck style laugh. His pet is named Pluto, who is also a dog, but he doesn't walk upright or have a voice. Goofy had a career slump after his last solo cartoon (1965's "Goofy's Freeway Troubles") until the 1990s TV series "Goof Troop," which also starred the character's son, Max.
