Notes:
Page 1, panel 1: Goofy has two newspaper clippings of Super Goof’s exploits tacked-up on his modest living room wall. Oddly, these refer to actual, prior Super Goof stories, published before the establishing of the “Super Goober” as the power source behind Goofy’s heroic alter-ego. “Super Goof Captures Phantom Blot” would refer to The Phantom Blot (Western, 1964 Series) #2 April 1965, while “Super Goof Saves Train” cites Donald Duck (Western, 1962 Series) #102 July 1965. The former was actually a “non-super-Goofy” merely operating under a misconception. The latter saw him powered by a “super cape” invented by Gyro Gearloose. Perhaps both stories were secretly ret-conned to now fit into the “Super Goober continuity” … or maybe Goofy just remembers ‘em as such.
On Page 13 of this Australian issue, the first panel has been slightly changed, with a description added, a train being removed and Super Goof flying from a building window, instead of a train, which is in the original USA issue. This is to cover that the previous page included in the USA issue is not included in the Australian issue.
