By the way, I have a question for the users who think that George Geef is Goofy: how do you explain that in many Goofy cartoons you can see plenty of Goofy lookalikes/soundalikes appearing at the same time, and sometimes even playing the role of historical figures?

The lookalikes are distant relatives of Goofy. I believe it's a running gag in Italians stories that Goofy's family simply gigantic, and I know for a fact that there even was a hilarious Italian series that showed the Goofy family through the ages. And the "historical figures" Goofys are no different from the usual "historical lookalike" stories — and it's simialrly ambiguous whether they're ancestors, random lookalikes, reincarnations, alternate dimensions, or the characters playing the role in a play or movie (it really depends on the story; some of the Grandi Parodie support the 'historical ancestors' interpretations while others, like the recent Molière parody, clearly have it be a play). 

In some historical parodies, Goofy's lookalikes are simply Goofy hallucinating, or being told a story (where we could suppose the lookaliness is Gooffy visualizing the events in his head, imagining he as the main character, and attributing familiar faces to other characters)* 

The same, btw, could be said of almost all stories in the frame "character finds a book, begins reading it and the book becomes the story" (Le avventure di Paperin-Simbad, Le avventure di Mac Paperin: L'arrosto della salvezza, etc)


*or at least it is in that way in the Brazilian versions of these stories (I noticed that some "historical Goofy" stories are "S" and the frame stories introducing it are "B")

IMO the only way to headcanon this sort of thing is to pretend that any conflicting versions of characters are Toons from Roger Rabbit's Toon Town.

For what it's worth, both the cartoon and comic versions of A Goofy Adventure Story establish a lot of the historical cartoon Goofys like Cedric as being Goofy's ancestors, while the cartoon version of A Goofy Success Story establishes Mr. Walker/Wheeler from Motor Mania as a character Goofy played in a road safety movie.

Junior made his first (?) appearance (though a cameo) in comics here.

Newbie here, and I apologize if somebody has already proposed this, but I simply apply the "multiverse" theory to it all. In one universe Goofy is a childles bachelor, in another he's George Geef, etc.
Also in my head canon these universes occasionally intersect.

Great, now I want to see a movie of Goofy: Master of the Multiverse. Hyuck!
