Goofy's Mother

Goofy's mother is an obese, anthropomorphic dog who made her first animated appearance in the Mickey Mouse Works cartoon "How to Be Groovy, Cool and Fly". She's the mother of Goofy and the grandmother of Max, and has the same goofy voice as her son. They also share the quote 'Ah-hyuck!'. She has large feet with dark purple shoes and wears a light purple dress, a dark purple vest and a white apron. Goofy first mentioned his mother in the translations of the 1936 comic "Island In the Sky". When he and Mickey leave town, he waves goodbye to his mom and dad ("Goodbye, mama! Goodbye, papa!), who, however, remained unseen.

A 1970s-80s comic story series in which Goofy played the role of some of the most famous historical characters, such as Christopher Columbus and Leonardo Da Vinci, Goofy's character was often accompanied by his parents, who disapproved his scientific ideas. In contrast to her animated version, Goofy's mother appeared to be long and slender in these comics. Her most notable appearance was in Goofy Franklin, in which she had the role of Abiah Folger, Benjamin Franklin's mother. She and her husband were used in a very comical way throughout the story, trying to find ways to make their son leave the home after he has grown up and is driving them crazy. Another running gag is that Goofy Franklin continuously mistakes his father for his mother.
