I apologise to Timo for my mistaken memory of "The Goofy Success Story".
All the non-"Disney Cartoon Characters" are, indeed, portrayed as humans.
Although
these "humans" are cartoony, and many have bulbous noses, others have thin
noses. It is clear that the authors (and Editors) wanted a greater difference
between the Disney film "stars" and the "real" public (you and I), who watch
these cartoons. The readers could leave the "Disney comic universe" for this
story, as
its theme of Goofy's rise to popularity in the real world's film business had
to correspond more to the real world. The portrayal of all the non-cartoon
stars as humans was necessary for the reader to make that connection from the
story in the comic book to what they know about Goofy films (his being called
Dippy Dawg at first, and his increasing popularity).
