Title: An interesting fact I learned today.

Now, I'm sure most of you are familiar with Goofy, of Disney fame:

So, apparently, in European comic books featuring Goofy, Goofy has an adventurer cousin who goes by the name of "Arizona Goof".

But that name is only the English translation. In the original Italian versions, that same cousin was known as Indiana Phipps.

Dad always is a bit goofy and now the family secret has been revealed. How will I live down the shame?  :o :o :o

He's called "Indiana Goof" in German. Rather subtle, I guess. The older stories (up to ca. 1995) were rather fun, depending on the artist, but after that, it got a bit stale and formulaic. Still, the occasional gem crops up even now.

His licquorice addiction provides for some funny gags, though.

Goofy is my favourite Disney character! I go at least twice a year to something Disney - it truly is the happiest place on earth!

Maybe you do not know that in 1957 Goofy (Pippo in Italian) went to Africa to meet is cousin Gaffy who lives like a Tarzan!
