Mickey Mouse and Friends Character Guide

P.J. or Peter Pete Junior is the best friend of Max Goof, and Bobby Zimuruski and son of Pete.
P.J. first appears in the 1942 short Bellboy Donald and later appeared in Goof Troop. In all his appearances, P.J. is Max Goof's best friend. Like Max, P.J ages throughout each of his appearances. He is shown to be nervous, insecure and often fears punishment from his father Pete. His relationship with his father is consistently shown to be based on fear and control as a stark contrast to the much more loving relationship between Max and Goofy, with him often calling his father "sir." Though he is not usually the one to come up with ideas, P.J is shown to be helpful, polite, sensitive, honest and hard-working, and is usually the one to consider potential consequences. Physically he is strong and tough, capable of performing a lot of manual labor - a fact regularly exploited by his lazier father. He enjoys casual sports like bike-riding and skateboarding, and video games and watching television but his father often bullies him into activities that are much more stereotypically masculine.
He is drawn to look very similar to his father, though less bulky. Due to the contrast between their personalities, he also has a far more friendly appearance to his face.
