He said that Goofy was “a goof”, which is a person. When Walt was creating his characters, he wanted to create a man who had all of the characteristics that we admire in children and aspire to as kids, but which are sometimes “out of fashion” as an adult. Goofy is “cheerful and eternally loyal” and has “childlike innocence, naiveté, and fearlessness.” He tackles things with no fear of failing nor any other consequences such as his reputation, and always assumes the best about others.

As Walt was creating how Goofy was to look, he started with a man. He then added some features of a dog to represent the “eternally loyal” characteristics. He then tried to make Goofy more silly-looking. He changed the teeth, mouth, hair, hat, gave him a silly walk, etc., all in an effort to make him “less dog-like, less typical adult, and more of his own creature – a goof.”

As further proof that Goofy is human, it was pointed out that he wears a full set of clothes. No non-human character (at least in the early days of Disney) wears a full set of clothes, except Mickey (and family) who is unquestionably “a special case for obvious reasons.” Even Donald doesn’t have a full set – he doesn’t wear any pants.

That got us started on a more humorous subject of, “What is up with Donald.”

Kinda spoils it now that you know, but now you have a bit of trivia.
