Old Bradley Thomas sent me this via facebook, and I'm not sure what to think. It apparently was created using the same program that created the game "Pong." What is it a picture of? My initial thoughts:
1) Bates
2) A poorly-drawn heart
3) A character in "Tron"
4) His grade in my class
Thomas claims it is, in fact, an image of my evil nemesis, Pluto The Dog. Pluto and I don't get along. For one thing, it makes no sense that he is Mickey Mouse's pet, and then some OTHER dog, Goofus, is his friend. Why would a mouse have a pet dog? And if it is just part of some fantasy world, why not have a little consistency, people?
Then, of course, there is "The Incident" from Disneyworld, 1988. I was there with a friend who lived in Florida, and we were strolling through the park when I saw a large dog signing autographs for a throng of admiring children. "Ah!" I thought, "It is Mickey's stalwart friend, Goofus!" So I boldly strode over to the pup and shook his hand while saying "Mr. Goofus, I very much enjoy your work. You are a master of your oeuvre..." It was at this point that the stupid dog thrust out a gigantic name tag reading "Pluto" and then cuffed me on the head. As the children laughed, I knew that I had found that one demon-creature I must defeat.
It is my solemn vow that once I figure some stuff out with the sentencing guidelines and get my PR syllabus worked out, I shall... I SHALL seize this beast, this ancient serpent, and bind him and thow him into that bottomless pit where he shall deceive the nations no more.

Goofy is so gonna kick your ass for calling him Goofus.
And why is that Pluto can't even talk? He's owned by a rodent. AND there are two other rodents (Chip and Dale) whose sole purpose is to torment Pluto. He can't even walk upright.
On top off all this indignity, now you're going to name him your evil nemesis? Isn't it tough enough to be Pluto?

You're confusing Goofy with Goofus of Goofus and Galant.
The really creepy thing about Disney is why don't Donald Duck and his nephews wear pants?

Wow-- you're right about Goofy and Gallant. Good catch.
My favorite Goofy and Gallant cartoon was the one where Gallant is leaving home wearing his scout uniform and carrying a model boat. As he leaves, he calls out "I'm going to the Scout meeting next door until 7, Mom!"
Meanwhile, in the adjacent panel, Goofy is sneaking out of the house clutching a crumpled paper bag and mumbling, "I gotta go talk to some guys about some stuff."
The tagline was something like "Gallant's mother always knows where he is and what he is doing!"

If you like Gallant + Law School, this gives a chuckle.

He reminds me of the Engineer we had at the radio station. The one who called himself Big Bat
