Topic: The Menace from the Future - by David Gerstein

(6 messages)
Sim
I've read this good story in the american version, translated by David Gerstein.
I've noticed two things_
- Goofy is here called Goofus (D. Dawg) and his cousin Moofy (Moofus), Doofy (Doofus), Toofy (Toofus) and Dogueberry.
- Mickey mentions his sister, MF's mother.
Dave, have you -somehow- been influenced by this forum choosing that? In the original/italian version, Goofy's relatives had "famous" names: Feynpipp, Pipstein, Pipton and Pippedison, why have you changed this idea?
The name Dogueberry (instead of a possible "Goofton") sounds like "Dawg-Barry (/-berry)". What's the surname of this english relative?
Dutch Duckfan Down Under
This story appeared in The Netherlands several years ago, and it might be fun so see the Dutch names of Goofy's relatives. I've got the story right here.
Number 1: Goofstein
Number 2: Feyngoofy
Number 3: Goofedison
Number 4: Goofton
Number 5: Goofy
Pete: Goofy-Goofy
It's one of my favorite stories.

I got it!

Dogberry (note the spelling) is the chief of the messinian police in Shakespeare "Much Ado about Nothing". It's likely that David turned it in "Dogue-" to make it sounds as "Dawg".
Ramapith
That's right.

I supposed it.

And about these ones?:
