SUPER GOOF in "The Missing Pyramid"

This post – from Super Goof No. 13, May 1970 - is for Tyler Cosley and his father, cartoonist Jamie Cosley; a father and son team of Super Goof fans! Me too, guys! See Dad's work at his blog: Nobody Likes Jamie Cosley.

Goofy became super when he ate one of his super goobers (his peanut patch had been irradiated by a falling meteor). He may have become stronger as the Super Goof, and even been able to fly, but nothing could enhance his already super-human optimism and generous spirit. The art here, including the cover, is by Pete Alvarado. Alvarado’s eye-pleasing, clean simplicity always does the job right.

Super Goof towing those stone tablets through the air is such a surreal ending. I wonder if some 'New' old structures had been found in Central American Jungles around that time. Dang it ! All my musty Nat Geos are at my Parents house ! Something inspired the artist/writer here; maybe Goofy weed ;-j

KW: The stories were very involved. They remind me of the Carl Barks stories for Donald.

Thea: Sono un ventilatore, anche! Tutta la migliore gente รจ! (I am a fan, too! All the best people are!)

funny thing is, i was just about to start scanning Super Goof #2, do you have that one on your list?

Mykal said...

Prof.: He is my favorite super funny animal ever (I like him even better than Super Mouse)! I do have #2, but please - you do it. I owe you a gentlemanly gesture from Christmas! I have #1 that I will post soon. I have a scad more, being a Super Goofy Geek. The Super Goof #2 is gonna look sweet at your place (he fits right in there very nicely!). -- Mykal

Man, I'd love a nice book of the best of these Super Goof comics. One of my favorites from when I was a kid!
