Goof Positive

this polished design drawing of Goofy was created by a Disney artist in development of the opening portrait of the star seen in his cartoon series from 1940. It is likely one in a series of drawings created before the final iconic portrait was set. There are minor differences in this drawing and the final painting created by a Disney background artist that opens the Goofy cartoons beginning with Goofy’s Glider (1940)
