Comments

From Ryan : After a busy week at work and a Saturday night filled with parties, Goofy relaxes on a Sunday morning. I enjoy the background art of this cartoon (as well as the cartoon itself). In fact, the amusement park scene was reused from "Hold that Pose" and "Straight Shooters." I find the part where Goofy goes through the Tunnel of Love to be funny when he comes out kissing a sailor (a reference to homosexuality). I noticed that the tatoo Goofy got was identical to the one he had in "Cold War."
