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.

Come to think of it, Goofy's also one of the big guys for Father's Day, #1 Dad, and all that commercial stuff, but I cannot for the life of me think of who it is for Mother's Day and the mother's side of things right now.

... Except maybe princesses and evil queens...

That's because Disney's take on mothers tends to be dead or evil step-based. Hrrm.
