Max Goof

Max Goof first appeared in the animated series Goof Troop as Goofy's son. Max is notable in being a prominent character's biological son rather than a nephew or other distant relative. He has also appreciatively aged, in a fashion, during the course of his appearances. Aside from his appearance, he is somewhat unlike Goofy and occasionally paranoid of any similarity they have to each other.

Though some Goofy cartoons depict generic characters with Goofy-like traits, many fans suspect an early cartoon featuring a red-nosed Goofy Jr. as the inspiration for Max.

Max also features reguarly in Mickey's House of Mouse as the parking valet.
