Editing Max Goof (section)

==Origins==
The first appearance of Goofy's son was in the 1951 theatrical short ''[[Fathers Are People]]''. He is referred to as '''Goofy Junior''' or simply Junior. He later appeared in a few other shorts such as ''[[Father's Lion]]'' (1952), ''[[Father's Day Off]]'' (in which Goofy refers to his son as "George" at one point), ''[[Father's Week-end]]'' (1953), and ''[[Aquamania]]'' (1961). In these earlier films, Goofy was also portrayed with a wife, though nameless and with her face always hidden from view. When ''[[Goof Troop]]'' was created, Goofy Junior evolved into Max, and Goofy's wife was no longer on the scene. Disney Guest Services FAQ later stated there is no definitive answer regarding details of his mother, as one has not been revealed "on the screen".<ref>{{cite web |title=Disney FAQ: Who was the mother of Goofy's son Max? |url=http://home.disney.go.com/guestservices/faq?id=mnf12 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140810155058/http://home.disney.go.com/guestservices/faq?id=mnf12 |archive-date=August 10, 2014 |access-date=July 31, 2014 |publisher=[[The Walt Disney Company]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Graves |first=Sabina |date=March 21, 2023 |title=Disney's Unsolved Mystery: Who Is Max Goof's Mom? |url=https://gizmodo.com/disney-unsolved-mystery-max-goof-s-mom-toontown-1850246156 |access-date=April 11, 2025 |website=[[Gizmodo]] |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Donohoo |first=Timothy Blake |last2=Wright |first2=Ridley |date=August 21, 2021 |title=''Goof Troop'': What Really Happened to Goofy's Wife? |url=https://www.cbr.com/what-happened-goofy-wife/ |access-date=April 11, 2025 |website=[[Comic Book Resources|CBR]] |language=en}}</ref>
