WHAT IF....
Goofy was madly in love with Mrs. Geef (/Mrs. Goof), and they got married. They must've lived a while together, as they have a son, Max. When Max is too young to remember her, she dies in a car crash (evidenced by the above link).
...What if Goofy's extra-goofy personality was heightened by the tragedy?? I mean, he must've always been a silly fellow before, with a playful, naive personality... but how do you stay goofy after a tragedy like your wife dying?
What if Goofy is still goofy nowadays because he's always drunk to delirium?!? What if he has hangovers off-camera and bouts of depression that Donald and Mickey and Pluto have to go through?!? What if he doesn't drink, but his goofiness is just a way to cope with his inner turmoil and sorrow?
How does Max deal with his father's depression? Does Max know? Do Goofy's friends even know?? I mean, they must know there was something that happened: Goofy has a son, after all.
Wait.... that also means that a Disney character had to have slept...
No. No no no no no no no no NO. We are leaving that discussion out of this.
SERIOUSLY though: Goofy really needs to see a psychiatrist who will be sworn to secrecy and not ruin his reputation. We all love his silly, happy-go-lucky personality, but when it's faked to the point of extremity? When he's hiding his true feelings and bottling them up like a tornado inside of a gold leaved treasure chest? That's not healthy.
Goofy, be genuine. Talk to someone. Get help. No one should have to suffer alone.
