Goofy is a tall, anthropomorphic dog with a Southern drawl, and typically wears a turtle neck and vest, with pants, shoes, white gloves, and a tall hat originally designed as a rumpled fedora . Goofy is a close friend of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck and is one of Disney's most recognizable characters . He is normally characterized as extremely clumsy and dimwitted, yet this interpretation is not always definitive; occasionally Goofy is shown as intuitive, and clever, albeit in his own unique, eccentric way . </P> <P> Goofy debuted in animated cartoons, starting in 1932 with Mickey's Revue as Dippy Dawg, who is older than Goofy would come to be . Later the same year, he was re-imagined as a younger character, now called Goofy, in the short The Whoopee Party . During the 1930s he was used extensively as part of a comedy trio with Mickey and Donald . Starting in 1939, Goofy was given his own series of shorts that were popular in the 1940s and early 1950s . Two Goofy shorts were nominated for an Oscar: How to Play Football (1944) and Aquamania (1961). He also co-starred in a short series with Donald, including Polar Trappers (1938), where they first appeared without Mickey Mouse . Three more Goofy shorts were produced in the 1960s after which Goofy was only seen in television and comics . He returned to theatrical animation in 1983 with Mickey's Christmas Carol . His last theatrical appearance was How to Hook Up Your Home Theater in 2007 . Goofy has also been featured in television, most extensively in Goof Troop (1992--1993), as well as House of Mouse (2001--2003) and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (2006--2016). </P>
