Goofy Comics #32
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Goofy Gander Becomes a Race Driver," a whimsical twist on the classic knock-out gag takes center stage as the mysterious "ghost bird" — a spectral feathered friend that appears whenever someone blacks out — decides it wants to be a real bird. With Jack Bradbury handling both art and inks, the story follows the bird’s increasingly absurd quest to stay alive by ensuring Wilbur Fox stays unconscious, leading to a hilariously unlikely trip to a boxing gym. Carl Wessler’s playful cover captures the zany spirit of the tale, all in a 1949 issue that’s a must for fans of vintage Disney humor.
Goofy Gander dreams of helping his friend Stub Bunny save his house from foreclosure by winning a downhill race and claiming the prize money. When Stub's rival Wilbur Fox deliberately sabotages their homemade racer with the worst junk yard parts he can find, Goofy and Stub must push their ramshackle vehicle uphill to the starting line—but once the race begins, nothing goes quite as planned. With crooked tricks, switched road signs, and plenty of slapstick chaos in the mix, this fast-paced tale delivers genuine heart beneath the mayhem.
When Peter Pigly discovers a lost wallet brimming with cash, he and his friend Goofy set out on a shopping spree—but a chance encounter with a crying boy teaches Peter something about the real value of honesty. After returning the wallet to the police, Peter discovers the money is counterfeit and the wallet's owner is a wanted criminal, leading to an unexpected reward for doing the right thing.
In "The Ghost Bird," a mischievous, bird-shaped phantom appears whenever someone blacks out—most notably when Wilbur Fox takes a tumble and knocks himself out. Determined to become a real bird, the spectral creature devises a plan to stay alive by keeping Wilbur unconscious, leading to a series of increasingly absurd head-slaps. When Wilbur suggests a boxing gym as a permanent solution, the bird finds itself in a whole new kind of trouble—where knocking out opponents might just be a full-time job.
