    Is Goofy (Disney) a horse or a dog? Or something else? He talks, Pluto (the dog) does not. Goofy walks upright, Pluto does not. I say he's a horse. What do you think?

    No, Goofy's a dingo actually, according to official sources.

    Horace Horsecollar was a horse.

    But what about Pluto? Is he some sort of invalid in the Disney universe?

    No, Goofy's a dingo actually, according to official sources.

    He's a dog, and Pluto is just a non-speaking dog.

    Sorry, no time. I've got to leave the office now. I've heard this somewhere. I'll try to dig it up later. Or just go on your merry way, not believing me, whatever. :p

    I'll back you up Rogue. I heard somewhere to that "official" Disney sources said the Goofy was a dingo.

    I don't notice the Aussie accent myself, but what do I know? I know there's a giant fence in Austrailia to keep the dingos out, that's what.

    Good-natured but not that bright, this cartoon character made his first appearance, somewhat disguised, as a member of the audience in "Mickey's Revue" (1932). What distinguished the character from those sitting around him was not so much his appearance but his raucous laugh. That laugh, supplied by Disney storyman, musician, and former circus clown Pinto Colvig, made such an impression on Walt Disney and his staff that the character soon began to be featured in other cartoons. Before long, Goofy was part of the gang that included Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Clarabelle Cow, and Horace Horsecollar. In the newspaper comic strips, this new character was first given the name Dippy Dawg. A 1938 book indicated the first change to Dippy's name, "The Story of Dippy the Goof," and by 1939 the final change was made to Goofy with the release of the cartoon "Goofy and Wilbur."

    Goofy was created as a human character, as opposed to Pluto, who was a pet, so he walked upright and had a speaking voice (first supplied by Colvig, and later by George Johnson, Bob Jackman, and Bill Farmer). There were 48 Goofy cartoons (primarily in the 1940s and 1950s), but he also appeared in many cartoons with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. He was best known for his series of "How to" cartoons, where he bumbled through the explanations. In the 1950s, he appeared in several cartoons as Mr. Geef, with a wife and son. The 1990s television series "The Goof Troop" reintroduced Goofy and son, but by this time the son was Max, quite different from his earlier incarnation, and the wife was no longer on the scene. Favorite sayings: "Gawrsh!" "Well, whaddya know ..." "A-hyuck!" "Huh?"

    Oh, I see.
    So which is it?!

    (The OS said Pluto was a dingo.)

    Goofy was the product of a strange, unnatural union between a dog, a hippotamus, and Walt's brother, Roy.
