DescriptionThis blew my mind from the very first day when I saw it.Mickey and Dippy Dawg ( later Goofy ) in their first story appearance together. From the story line : "The Crazy Crime Wave" was where the readers first saw the "Dynamic Duo" together. Before Mickey had been a Treasure-hunter and a Mailpilot, but with this story line the famous Detective stories really began..! As a bonus this may even be the eldest known survived example of an original MM comic strip existing with Dippy Dawg ( Goofy ) on it. Mickey and Goofy appears on all 4 panels together - and the sign on the door with both their names as detectives is simply historical. Heritage wrote : Floyd Gottfredson Mickey Mouse Daily Comic Strip Original Art dated 11-27-33 (Disney, 1933). Gottfredson sends detectives Mickey Mouse and Dippy Dawg (later known as Goofy) on a case involving a gang of "hair-robbers." Mickey declares: ''... [We] ain't gonna stop till we catch 'em!" -- a grammatical lapse that Disney's management would not have allowed in Mickey's eventual development as a role-model figure. Dippy Dawg disguises himself in old-lady drag, as if any costume could hide that pronounced overbite and the protruding Adam's apple. A real trailblazer, the Mickey Mouse strip dates from 1930 as the first such Disney feature for newspaper syndication. Social/Sharing |

I have watched and read so many things about Disney and it's characters, but I never knew Goofy was originally called Dippy Dog. How was that not in any of it? This is a way cool find!
Congratulations.

Goofy in drag is a first!
He looks like Ma Frickert.
