Quote from user: ramapithMorty and Ferdie's mom, only ever officially called "Mrs. Fieldmouse" in English, has been in a number of stories as an active character; Mickey's nephews quite plainly live with her when they're not staying with him, and it's treated as ordinary.
Maybe Gottfredson's old-crone "Mrs. Fieldmouse" is actually Mickey's sister's mother-in-law, the mother of the boys' father, and thus their grandmother? "My boys" could refer to grandsons as easily as sons. It would explain why she's so much older than Mickey and why he refers to her as "Mrs. Fieldmouse".

Has Morty and Ferdie's father ever made an appearance? Unlike Della, there is no doubt that Felicity is married (she has a different last name and is referred to as "Mrs."). Is their father alive, or is Felicity a widow?

So Mrs. Fieldmouse's is not Oswald's half-sister? Golly gee, could it be possible that not every bit of information on the World Wide Web is accurate? I'm shocked! Actually, under another name, I write a radio column for a fanzine and a radio website and, in the process of doing online research, I have had to make a lot of corrections to error-riddled Wikipedia pages. There is a website called Answers.com and I have no idea of 100% of the "answers" are correct...but in response to a question, Varsenik Wilson (?) says that Morty and Ferdie's father has never appeared in a comic but Egmont Publishing refers to him in-house as Frank.
I also discovered that Ferdie was once named Monty. Morty and "Monty" first appeared in Grossett & Dunlap's 1936 Donald Duck hardcover book.

Sorry for the double posting but do you think Li'l Bad Wolf's mother is alive or is she dead? Some fans said that Goofy's wife died in a car accident or something like that but it isn't like more like a theory? I'm not sure if there is really an episode of Goof Troop where it mentioned about her death. In the French Wolf series, Big Bad Wolf has a girlfriend named Marie-Loup but she is not BW's wife or LW's mother.

I think I remember a Goofy cartoon from the 1940s, in which Goofy was a suburbanite, with a wife and a son.

This is the same short series where Goofy have a son named Goofy Jr. (aka the prototype Max) and a wife and those shorts are the only cartoon appearance of his wife. We never saw her appearing in Goof Troop or other cartoons. Some fans said that the wife was Glory-Bee or Penny from the Minnie 'n Me series but it's unknown if "Mrs. Goofy/Mrs. Geef" and Glory-Bee or Penny are the same characters.

I've always wondered whether Goof Troop wasn't inspired by the 1987 Hanna-Barbera series, Popeye and Son. The two shows have a very similar premise, with old rivals from classic cartoons settling down into an uneasy truce as suburban neighbors whose families become entangled with one another, antagonistically in Popeye's case, on a friendlier basis in Goofy's. And neither show seems to have survived into its universe's respective canon (although some would argue that Max is part of the official Disney universe, while Goof Troop's used-car salesman version of Pete and his son PJ aren't).

Quote from user: Thomps2525Goofy's son ("Junior") and wife debut in Fathers Are People (1951) but the wife's face is not shown. However, Goofy once again has ears! This short can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ub5bwufUQIU

Yes, I know that Goofy Jr. and Mrs. Geef/Mrs. Goof debuted in this short and that we never saw what Mrs. Goof's face look like but maybe her face looked similar to Goofy's.

Well, I have seen both of those shows and I have seen some similarities like both Popeye and Goofy have their own sons. Now, Imagine if they make a comic series about Brer Rabbit having his own children/son/daughter and have a plot similar to Goof Troop or Popeye and Son or other series where a character have a child or childrens. I was always thinking that the French Wolf/P'tit Loup series was like a Forest version of Goof Troop.

Quote from user: Thomps2525In the 1940 short Wimmin Is A Myskery, Popeye dreamed that he had four nephews. Two years later, it turned out that Popeye really did have four nephews. The 1942 short was titled Pip-eye, Pup-eye, Poop-eye an' Peep-eye. Those were the names of the four kids, although there was no Poop-Eye in the first cartoon. The character was named Pep-eye. The names were sometimes spelled with hyphens and sometimes without hyphens. Eventually there were only three nephews. The disappearance of the fourth one was never explained.
Actually, the four nephews were initially introduced as the children of Olive and Popeye in a dream sequence in Wimmin Is A Myskery, but I guess they were considered such good characters that they deserved a more resilient role and were reintroduced as Popeye's nephews two years later. Their numbers dwindled from four, to three, down to two, with no explanation (somewhat similar to how Ferdie was written out of the Gottfredson continuity). The often testy relationship between Popeye and his nephews was clearly modeled on the one between Donald and HD&L in contemporary Disney shorts ... not surprising, since Disney shorts and Popeye cartoons (produced by various studios) were in constant competition for audiences in those days.

Quote from user: Thomps2525I always thought Goof Troop was inspired by the 1953 Donald Duck short The New Neighbor and "the old spite fence"
And I always wondered if that short wasn't, in turn, inspired by the Barks Neighbor Jones ten-pagers. If your theory is correct, then Goof Troop has a link (tenuous and indirect as it may be) to the Barks universe as well!

It's a shame Neighbor Jones has never been animated. He could have easily found his way into a few Quack Pack storylines or even the new Mickey Mouse shorts.
