Nope, he isn't. The grandfather on the family tree doesn't have a mustache or thick eyebrows -- although he DOES have goggles. It's a little puzzling.

Most likely the author didn't know about that iteration of Goofy's grandfather.
I'm actually surprised he used a direct relative instead of Yet-Another-Uncle

At any rate, who is the story by? I love its version of Young Goofy, and the grandfather character is interesting. That being said, and even though I have nothing against that weird tradition of the Italians' to color characters' shoes yellow, I think coloring Young Goofy's (anarchic, by the way) snickers in that colour is going a bit too far.

Yellow shoes for all!

I believe Scroogerello, uploaded a link to Goofy's family tree which shows Goofy has another brother and sister, it also shows all of his grandparents and great-grandparents.

Whitewater, do you know what story this tree is from? It is a fascinating piece of Goofy family genealogy, and I'd love to know its source!

It's from Disney's Wonderful World of Knowledge Yearbook 1978, the tree is mentioned on this thread: featherysociety.proboards.com/thread/1301/ultimate-duck-family-tree?page=133

Very interesting!  What is this Walter character like? Does he resemble Goofy in appearance and/or behaviour? Does he have an important role in the story?

bonus younger Walter and Kid Goofy:



He doesn't resemble Goofy in behaviour as he's super serious(if fixed with aeroplanes) and grumpy.
He's also the reason of the story: him and Goofy had a fall out when Goofy was a kid and their relationship never recovered.
Walter is chronically disappointed in Goofy and Goofy suffers for it.

BTW: I suppose he's not the same character as Goofy's grandpa on the family tree I posted here earlier, is he?

Not to my knowledge, he's not.

I don't know why I think that Walter was 40 years old when Goofy was born. 

(and that is very shady)
