Father’s Day Off
Mrs. Goofy leaves for the day leaving the house in the hands of her husband, Goofy. Goofy is confident that he can handle the day’s household chores but he keeps making typical goof-ups while attempting them. His first mistake is sending Junior to school on a Saturday. At first, he just makes small blunders but, of course, they keep escalating to the point where his house is flooded, scribbled on, set on fire, invaded by firemen and policemen alike, and, basically, an utter disaster area when the wife returns.
Goofy as George Geef, the 1950s suburban everyman, left to run a household for a day. The Geef shorts replaced slapstick with social satire and are much drier than the classic Goofy films — the comedy is recognition rather than surprise, which is why adults often enjoy them more than children do.
