Hmm. Okay, all you animation people on the flist, feel free to correct me here, but I've just been thinking.

In Disney, Mickey has Minnie, Donald has Daisy, but as far as I know, Goofy didn't ever really have much in the way of a love interest. And yet, of the three, Goofy is the only one in any continuity to have a child--they specifically made a point with Donald to have him only take care of his nephews.

So, basically, Disney made a point, with their three most iconic characters, to make the only one with a child be a single parent.

Just thought that was interesting.

To my knowledge, Goofy's wife was named Penny. However, I've never actually seen anything she was supposedly in, so yeah, for all intents and purposes, he is a single parent.

And huh, I guess he is the only parent, too...both Donald and Mickey have nephews but not children.

Hmmm! Some google-fu helped me find a little Penny, though it was only on a couple really obscure sites. Interesting.
