Well, iSm, that's 20/20 hindsight for Babbit. When Goofy was first introduced, he was, of course, known as "Dippy Dawg". Much later, in the "how-to" series of films, he was known as "Mr Geef" and was often portrayed without his ears. In between, he was sometimes a dog, sometimes a man, and even occasionally a horse (I have an audio recording of Pinto Colvig from WWII where he introduces himself as "Goofy Horsecollar" - I kid you not).

Goofy is the most confusing of characters. That's why I love him so....
