Goofy's father

Amos Goofy, also known as Hunter Goofy or simply Pappy, is Junior's grandfather and Goofy's father. He has often been mentioned throughout his son's appearances.

In the 1936 newspaper strip Island in the Sky, Goofy briefly mentions his parents when he waves goodbye to his loved ones. Both characters, however, remained unseen.

In the TV show The Adventure Story, which first aired on March 20, 1957, Goofy tells his son Junior about their ancestors and relatives. The Goofy cartoon African Diary was featured in this episode, and it was said that the goofy from this cartoon was in fact named Amos Goofy, who was again said to be Junior's grandfather and therefore Goofy's father. In later versions of the comic adaptation of this episode, Amos was renamed Hunter Goofy.

Goofy mentioned his father again in the 1958 comic Goofy's Last Stand, where, he says "Looky here! Muh pappy was a railroad man!" while showing his family album to his nephew Gilbert. When Goofy decides to take Max on a fishing trip to Idaho in Disney's A Goofy Movie, he tells Max that they will use the same map he and his own dad used when they went on the same fishing trip years before. When Goofy unfolds the map, the map was shown to belong to a certain Benjamin Goofy, a possible name for Goofy's father.
