Inktober #13: Goofsona

“If I... have to talk. To ONE MORE self-entitled cheesewheel of a customer...”

[Image description: A character drawn like one of the dogfaces from Disney cartoons such as Goof Troop. They are standing with their arms folded and their shoulders hunched, scowling. They have cat- or wolf-like ears and hair down to their chin. They are dressed in a baseball cap with flowers on it, glasses, a zipper sweater, long trousers held on with a belt, and shoes with laces tied in bows. End image description.]

Another caricature of myself, this time as a dogface! I was aware of Goof Troop growing up, and A Goofy Movie is actually one of my favourite Disney flicks.

...Gawrsh, I can just see the episode where I show up. So, we open with tech support grumbling the above. Then they get a call.

Pete’s TV is broken (something that should be simple but never is because if the customer’s calling in about it they are probably hopeless, like a snowy screen or being tuned into a test channel that you can tune away from), and he calls in being, uh, Pete with a few cuts to an unimpressed tech support. Then, Goofy comes over and declares that By Golly He’s A-Gonna Fix Your TV In A Jiffy, Pete Ol’ Buddy.

Cue increasingly damaging ‘fixes’ with periodic cuts to an increasingly fascinated tech support listening to the mayhem. Finally, we hear an explosion through the phone that they have to take their headset off for, and when they put it back on, Peg’s picked up going, “Hello? Hello, tech support, hello?”

“I’m... here,” says a very perplexed tech support.

“Uhhhh yeah we did take out the insurance on our electronics, right?”
