Sometimes what's left unsaid is just as important as what's discussed out loud. For example, Daniel Friedman's speculative essay on the dark, tragic history of Goofy's family, based on a close reading of the 1950s theatrical shorts, the TV series Goof Troop (1992), the 1995 theatrical flop A Goofy Movie, and its straight-to-video sequel, An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000):

When Fate kerb-stomps you, it is extremely important to have a reason to get up again, to have someone to fight for. Thanks the gods Goofy had Max.

I always just chalked it up to Conservation of Information. Something happened, but it was not too relevant to the story.

Goofy deserves some good luck. They should just officially have him marry Clarabelle. Give Max a nice, caring stepmom.

I thought it all worked itself out when he finally met Ms Marpole. Your point: how important it is to have someone!

Both Sylvia and Goofy deserved a second chance. Hope things worked out for them.
