Goofy Comics #35

When Goofy Gander hears about a scout prize for good deeds and kindness, he decides it's time to prove everyone wrong—starting with his skeptical grandma. What follows is a series of increasingly chaotic attempts at being helpful: sharing donuts, pushing a doll buggy for a friend, helping an old lady cross the street, and cracking nuts for hungry squirrels, each act leaving Goofy wondering why everyone keeps saying they'll "report" him. As the day wears on and a mysterious crowd gathers at his front door, Goofy begins to suspect his good intentions might not have turned out quite the way he planned.

When Wilbur Fox decides he needs quick cash without lifting a finger, he spots Goofy's Punch and Judy show and hatches a scheme to con him out of it—offering a phony jelly bean machine in exchange. Wilbur manages to take over the show and rake in ticket sales, but his newfound fortune hits a snag when the puppet performers prove far less cooperative than he bargained for. As the scheme spirals and plans collide, Wilbur learns a hard lesson about shortcuts and show business.

Peter Pigly is fed up with fish for dinner until his friend Wilbur convinces him that snipe hunting will get him a tastier meal—but Wilbur's real scheme is to leave Peter lost in the woods while he tricks the fish market into giving him the order instead. Peter's day in the forest turns into a spooky misadventure as he realizes he's been duped and left to find his own way home.

Goofy and a friend volunteer to pick blueberries for Mary Lamb's entry in the Daisy Center Fair food exhibit, but their berry-gathering goes hilariously off the rails when they encounter some woodland surprises. What begins as an earnest mission to help Mary win a prize takes some delightfully unexpected turns that leave everyone—including Mary herself—with something far better than they bargained for.
