Gilbert Goof

Gilbert Goof is Goofy's nephew in classic Disney comic book appearances. He is a younger and smarter counterpart of Goofy.

Comics
Gilbert's first appearance occurred in a May 1954 comic book appearance where Goofy told Mickey that he is excepting from him. However, he got lost and ended up in a university, which then exploded because of his experiment. Later, Goofy and Gilbert attended a TV quiz, which Gilbert couldn't answer correctly and ended up in kindergarten.

Since then, he made a number of comic appearances in the late 1950s and the 1960s. His notable comic appearances mostly features the adventures of Super Goof, Goofy's superhero alias. His recent comic book appearances features him playing soccer with Morty and Ferdie Fieldmouse, starting with "The Homer" (Mickey Mouse and Friends #263, 2004).

While Goofy's son Max Goof appeared in Goof Troop (and its spinoffs), Disney's House of Mouse and Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas (and its sequel), Gilbert has not appeared in animation quite so often. Thus, his only appearances are regularly in Disney comic books.
