Goofy

Goofy is a character appearing in the Walt Disney brand of cartoons.

It is difficult to classify the characteristics of the Goof into columns of the physical and mental, because they interweave, reflect and enhance one another. Therefore, it will probably be best to mention everything all at once. Think of the Goof as a composite of an everlasting optimist, a gullible Good Samaritan, a halfwit and a shiftless, good-natured hick.

From the film Goofy and Wilbur

Goofy: [shaking his glove as he mistakens it for the frog that swallowed Wilbur] Cough up Wilbur! Cough him up!

Goofy: [on the top of a bird's nest, after Wilbur got eaten by a stork] I got to cheer up! There'll be lots of grasshoppers in the weeds. [sniffs and blubbers in despair; he then bursts into tears with his face in his hands] But not like Wilbur! [wails] [an egg hatches and Wilbur comes out of it] [happily] Wilbur! Gosh, Wilbur, thought you was a goner! [Wilbur hugs Goofy and kisses him on the muzzle]
