Goofy

Goofy is a fictional character from the Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse universe. He is an anthropomorphic dingo and is one of Mickey Mouse's best friends. Sources including the Goof Troop television show reveal the character's full name to be Goofy Goof, but in A Goofy Movie, it's said to be Goofy Goofey.

Comics

Comic strips first called the character Dippy Dawg but eventually his name changed to Goofy by 1939.

The comic strips drawn by Floyd Gottfredson for Disney were generally based on what was going on in the Mickey Mouse shorts at the time. But when Donald Duck's popularity led to Donald Duck gaining his own newspaper strip, Disney decided that he was no longer allowed to appear in Gottfredson's strips. Accordingly Goofy remained alone as Mickey's sidekick. Similarly in comics the Mickey Mouse world with Goofy as Mickey's sidekick was usually very separate from the Donald Duck world and crossovers were rare.

In the comics Goofy also had a secret identity known as Super Goof, which appeared again later in an episode of House of Mouse.
