Super Goofy stories: Where do they take place?

[Hector]

In many stories, Beagle Boys and Scrooge McDuck are part of the plot.
So, Mousetown or Duckburg? One could wonder whether, with his super
speed, Goofy can travel from one city to another, but such a thing does
not seem to be implied.
Considering Mickey is never a part of Super Goofy stories (that i know
of), i have a different explanation: Goofy moved to Duckburg soon before
or soon after discovering the super peanuts.

In Brazilian comics, Mousetown and Duckburg are the same city (Patópolis). I hate it, but in this case it makes some sense.

[Scrooge MacDuck]

I'm going by the Italian tradition that Duckburg and Mouseton are separate but closely neighboring cities, such that going from one to the other is no longer than going from one Duckburg neighborhood to another.

They are TWIN cities, such as Minneapolis-St. Paul, Dallas-Fort Worth, Fort William-Port Arthur (Now Thunder Bay)?  I don't feel that Mouseville should be so close to Duckburg.  I have placed Mouseville near the eastern border of the State of Calisota.  It should take 1.5 hours to fly there on an airplane, and 4 hours to drive there by car.  Super Goofy could fly there on his own.  He could take a regional bus or train there, as well, but NOT local transit (not a city bus, nor tram, nor underground train.

Yes, not quite twin-cities (that would more accurately describe Duckburg and Mouseton). 4h may be a little too long, unless you're accounting for Duckburg's notorious traffic jams, but they're certainly not quite next to each other.

The "twin cities of Duckburg and Moseton" idea seems to have been introduced into American comics when Scarpa's stories were translated into English and published by Gemstone (correct me if I'm wrong). I don't like it, either, but I'd go one step further: in my headcanon, Mouseton isn't even in Calisota. Gottfredson's work often alluded to Mickey being "from the East"; so for me, Mouseton is somewhere on the East coast. I like the sound  of "Mouseton, Pennecticut". Stories where the Ducks and Mice interact, and where Goofy is a superhero, lay outside my headcanon, so I don't bother too much about whether they occur in Duckburg or Mouseton (yes, I'm an extreme splitter on the lumper vs splitter Disney comics scale).

According to Scarpa, they *are* twin cities, right? Next to each other? I think Robb means "Mouseville" and "Mouseton" to be the same city.

Yes.  To me, there is no Mouseton, as that didn't exist when I was young, and Gottfredson used "Mouseville".

Apart from the Supergoof stories there's also the Phantom Blot stories that started roughly at the same time and merrily combine mice and ducks. Also, in the Daisy and Donald series from the 1970s you have Clarabelle and Horace turning up as the couple's best friends every so often.

Italian Super Goofy stories are usually set in Mouseton
