[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_annabelle_mink.png]]
[[AC: First appearance: ''"Clarabelle's Boarding House"'', 1931]]

Annabelle initially came to live in Mouseton in Clarabelle's boarding house, finding a kindred soul in her.

* InexplicablyTailless: Annabelle has a tail in ''"Clarabelle's Boarding House"'', but not in her following appearances. It isn't explained whether her model just got updated or if she hides it under her skirt later on.
* OldMaid: She regrets not having found herself a man yet.
* OnlySaneMan: Among Clarabelle's boarders, some 8-10 convicts, a guy who eats for ten and doesn't see a problem sawing himself a bigger door without asking, and noisy musician who is annoyed by the slightest sound not made by him, Annabelle and her desire for a husband is the only one not driving Clarabelle to despair.
* ThemeNaming: The likeness of Annabelle's name to Clarabelle's might be intentional given the character was introduced as an OldMaid in the same story that set things up for Horace's and Clarabelle's wedding.

[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_sieb_sik.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"Carnaval"'', 2007]]

A Dutch-original character ("sik" means "beard of a goat") who is good friends with Horace and Clarabelle.

* AccidentalPublicConfession: In his debut comic. He went to a costumed party with Clarabelle pretending to be Horace because Horace didn't want to go and paid him to keep Clarabelle fooled. Worried his voice will give him away, he barely speaks, prompting Clarabelle to exasperatedly comment that he's acting all weird like Sieb would. Sieb's reaction reveals his identity.
* AlliterativeName: '''S'''ieb '''S'''ik.
* GetRichQuickScheme: He and Horace pull a few of these.
* SatelliteCharacter: To Horace and Clarabelle. He was introduced at the same time as Maw Cow and Paw Horsecollar.

[[AC: First appearance: ''"Indiana Pipps e l'ultimo faraone"'', 2000]]

A colleague of Arizona Goof who occasionally joins him on expeditions.

* ActionGirl: Depends a little on how much spotlight any particular comic wishes to give to Arizona (and Mickey in ''"Indiana Pipps e il tempio di cristallo"''), but the trope gets mostly fulfilled.
* AdventurerArchaeologist: At least when she hangs out with Arizona.
* DoggedNiceGuy: They're friends and while Martina is romantically interested in Arizona, the feeling isn't mutual.

[[AC: First appearance: ''"The Lost Explorers' Trail"'', 2003]]

An up-and-coming archaeologist with a penchant for the kind of investigations that also are of interest to many less noble individuals. She can handle herself just fine against the worst of threats, but is always glad to find Mickey and Goofy on her trail to rely on in case the situation escalates.
----

* CoolOldGuy: He and Mickey get into a minor clash of personality for the first ten or so minutes, but the moment the ninjas attack it's Rhinestone who gets Mickey a weapon to defend himself with. He also gets his guests out of the house the moment they can and gives them advice how to proceed next.

[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_biota.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"The Professor's Experiment"'', 1943]]

A professor on chemistry who temporary rented the top floor of Mickey's house.

* InventorOfTheMundane: Because Biota has needed bicarbonate of soda most of his life, his special invention is a machine that can induce flavor to the stuff. He soon finds a buyer for the product, at which point he can leave Mickey's house.
* MistakenForSpies: Mickey comes to believe Doctor Biota to be a Nazi who is close to creating a ShrinkRay when he finds some papers on it. The papers, however, are the doctor's scifi manuscripts he produces for a magazine to fund his research now that he's no longer employed at the university.
* OrWasItADream: The doctor did not actually make a ShrinkRay, right? And Mickey and Goofy never met the population of a soda atom, right? And they never got sent back to their own plain by the atom's scientists, right? It was all the result of a misunderstanding and the delusions created when Mickey and Goofy fell down the stairs, right? Then how come Goofy had part of the growth ray's machinery wrapped around his ankle?
* TheProfessor: On chemistry.
* {{Sleepwalking}}: Biota does this. PlayedForLaughs when Mickey tries to steal (what he thinks is) incriminating evidence and gets away with it by pretending he's sleepwalking, which the doctor is understanding towards because of his own experiences. Back in his room, he places the papers in a drawer, pleased with his ingenuity. Cue Biota actually sleepwalking in and stealing the papers right back.
* StealthHiBye: Doctor Biota has the remarkable and thoroughly unintentional talent to move about silently. He gives Mickey more than a few scares when he walks up to him to ask for bicarbonate of soda for his nervous indigestion.

[[folder: Professor Deeping Dustibones]]
!! Professor Deeping Dustibones
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_dustibones.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"The Land of Long Ago"'', 1940]]

A paleontologist and occasional biologist and archaeologist who works at Dryupp University.

* AdventureArchaeologist: Adventure paleontologist, to be more accurate.
* TheBusCameBack: Dustibones was a Gottfredson one-timer until he suddenly got brought back in the 70s and became a properly recurring character in the 90s.
* EasyAmnesia: At the end of ''"The Land of Long Ago"'', it is revealed Dustibones has episodes of amnesia and that their length is random although usually limited to hours or days. This is used to justify why he won't be able to return to the dinosaurs' island to prove his findings, as this particular round of amnesia is permanent. Mind, this information about Dustibones comes out of nowhere and so far has only once, in ''"Lizard on the Loose"'', been picked up by new writers.
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Dustibones is the gateway character to get Mickey and dinosaurs in one story.
* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: Dustibones and Wagstaff look about twenty years apart of age. More a matter of better vs lesser friend of Mickey than truly hero vs villain.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: In ''"Love Trouble"'', Mrs. Van Astorocks happily receives Mickey Mouse to her party, who only got an invitation because of Madeline, because she's a close friend of Dustibones and has heard of his and Mickey's adventure together.
* TheProfessor: In paleontology, although his area of expertise has been stretched to include biology and archaeology to make him suited for more stories.
* TheRival: He and Professor Wagstaff exist on a fine balance of getting along and not getting along. The narrative does not necessarily side with Dustibones.

[[folder: Professor Wagstaff]]
!! Professor Wagstaff
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_wagstaff.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"The Fossil Hunters"'', 1994]]

A paleontologist and occasional biologist and archaeologist who works at Huxley College.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: In ''"The Fossil Hunters"'', he used dynamite to get easy access to dinosaur fossils so he could further his genetic experiments to revive dinosaurs. Both the critters and dynamite were kept in a complex he did not use the best resources for to keep the costs manageable. Cue a spark from the equipment igniting the dynamite and setting the dinosaurs free...
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: He brought dinosaurs, specifically dromaeosaurs, back to life from the fossils he gathered. They view him as a parental figure.
* TheMaker: Of herbivorous dromaeosaurs.
* NeverTheObviousSuspect: In ''"Pluto's Nose Knows"'', Wagstaff completes a translation on the true story of the GoldenFleece and before sleep time reveals only a few things, such as that Jason remarks he wished he had brought along a dog. The next morning, Wagstaff and Pluto are gone. [[spoiler:They were actually both abducted by the foreman.]]

* TheRival: He and Professor Dustibones exist on a fine balance of getting along and not getting along. Although Wagstaff is given the role of antagonist, the narrative is not necessarily against him.

[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_oofgay.png]]
[[AC:First appearance: ''"Dr. Oofgay's Secret Serum"'', 1934]]

A doctor who experiments with serums to change behavior in animals and people.

* AbsentMindedProfessor: Oofgay does a lot of things that show lack of foresight. When he wants to demonstrate he can return a mountain lion to normal, he does not consider the fact it'll likely maul right after the injection and considers Mickey a spoilsport in regards to science. Sometime later, he does it anyway and gets mauled. Despite experimenting with serums, he's only brought a minimum of needles with him and mixes up two serums at a crucial moment. Then there's also this line: "That wass the second error of my career - The first one wass mistakink cyanide for salt!"
* FunetikAksent: A heavy but not always hitting attempt at German-ish English.
* MadScientist: Not evil, but somewhat impulsive on his quest ForScience.
* ManiacMonkeys: The amount of simians that aren't maniac in ''Mickey Mouse'' comics is low.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Not to himself, but to his concoctions, which he calls "Oofgay serums".

A marine life expert.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: At least when it comes to marine fauna.
* InformedSpecies: She's a cat and reasonably if ambiguously looks like one on her own, but she looks nothing like any other cat to ever share a panel with Mickey Mouse.

[[folder: Marlin and Zapotek]]
!!Marlin and Zapotek
A physicist from Mouseton's college and an archeology professor who often send Mickey and Goofy back in time to investigate historical mysteries.
----
* TheWorldIsNotReady: They keep the time machine a secret because they are perfectly conscious of how the technology could be abused.
* TimeTravel: Marlin invented a time machine.
** TeleportersAndTransporters: The time machine can ''technically'' be used as this, but the homing technology is not sophisticated enough yet.
* VitriolicBestFriends: Spend most of the time insulting each other, but in the end they're great friends.
[[/folder]]

* ChickMagnet: Ellsworth's had a new romantic interest every time his love life has come up, which was a regular occurence in the Sunday strips. Most of them were regular birds, but he's also flirted with humanoid animals. InterspeciesRomance is at play because Ellsworth only once has been portrayed with another mynah, that being in a 1992 comic. In the Sunday strips alone, he's flirted with a peacock... [[PeacockGirl with a tail]], a lovebird (1950), a crane (1952), a pigeon (1953), another pigeon, two parakeets, and a bird-of-paradise (1955),.

Originally introduced as Goofy's pet mynah bird, Ellsworth [[FurryConfusion soon became more anthropomorphic,]] switching between TalkingAnimal and full-fledged FunnyAnimal to the point where he can communicate effortlessly with both animals and humans.

%%* AttentionWhore: Overlaps with VicariouslyAmbitious. Showbiz is a part of Ellsworth's past and character, although no timeline of any sort exists. According to a 1950 gag comic, he spent three years as a marine mascot, while another comic that year has him accept an agent to return to the stage to bail out only when the agent overworked him. A 1951 comic has him reunite with two old friends who do standup comedy and a 1953 has him visited by Murphy's Marvelous Mynah Birds, equally old friends. Another 1951 comic sees him apply for a television production, but quit because he wasn't treated respectfully. A 1954 comic has him purchase a theater and wrestling contrasts solely to spite the former owner. Twice, in 1953 and 1954, he started and directed a singing group.

* FurryConfusion: PollyWantsAMicrophone at its finest. Ellsworth was bought by Goofy at a pet store, sometimes has to flee from hungry cats, flies like a real mynah, and isn't allowed in theaters, yet he [[HalfdressedCartoonAnimal wears a shirt and occasionally a hat]], has studied at Yale, has taken several jobs, and has even gone to prison a couple of times. This is never commented on but presented as completely normal. The height of absurdity this reaches is in a 1952 comic where Goofy forbids Ellsworth from going out that night, so Ellsworth ''buys a stuffed mynah and dresses it up as himself'' to trick Goofy into thinking he's at home.
* IAmNotWeasel: A minor recurring gag in the early comics is that Ellsworth is mistaken for another kind of bird, usually a parrot, but he's also been called a quail. He takes offense.

* PapaWolf: For all his brass, Ellsworth has a soft spot for little ones. Aside from adopting Ellroy, Ellsworth has twice protected a nest of chicks from a cat, babysat another (that was not entirely voluntarily), saved an abandoned egg from winter's cold and hatched and raised the chick, and even protected kittens once. The only one whom he kicked out was a (possibly mature) canary he had bought to learn to speak, only to find it wouldn't shut up afterwards.

* ReformedCriminal: Type ReformedButNotTamed. It's never given any detail, but some comics -- not to mention his StreetSmart shtick -- point at a past Ellsworth for the most part desperately tries to keep behind him. Sometimes it catches up with him, like in a 1950 comic which has his cousin Limberlip visit. Limberlip has dirt on him, which makes Ellsworth scared to take a stance against him until Limberlip takes it too far by flirting with the girl next door. In ''"The Bridge on the River Ai-Yai!"'', the past Ellsworth's former friend Flappity [=McFlop=] is part of does not contain crime as far as is mentioned, but the dialogue suggests there's been other things too simply not as big as the bridge incident. It takes Mickey and Ellroy finding evidence of Ellsworth's innocence before he dares to cut off Flappity. All the same, old habits are hard to unlearn, as shown in a 1951 comic where Ellsworth sneaks into a circus on argument that "[he]'d pay to get in... but it's against [his] principles!"
* RenaissanceMan: Various Sunday strips have depicted him as an artistic genius who can whip up a priceless painting in an afternoon, a math genius, an omniglot, a financial genius, a strategist, and more. Despite housing with a CloudCuckooLander-type genius, Goofy has never been depicted as having hidden depths when he and Ellsworth share a comic.

[[AC:First appearance: ''"Being Goofy"'', 2004]]

A television tycoon who semi-unintentionally exploited Goofy for a while.

* BeautyMark: She has one on her right cheek.
* HeelFaceTurn:
* IgnoreTheFanservice: Bit of a painful one occurs when she's on a date with Goofy and he talks the flaws of program offering on TV. In the midst of his rant, Madison asks if he likes her gown. [[NotDistractedByTheSexy His response?]]: "That's ''it!'' A ''game show'' where contestants hafta wear ''awful fashions!'' It can't ''miss!''". Madison takes it in stride, reverting to boss mode for a phone call to get Goofy's idea on the air. The comment also doesn't stop her from wearing the gown on a later date.
* InSeriesNickname: Madison is also known as "[[GenderBlenderName Mad King]]" in the newspapers.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Even if "I know what's best for Lucky" was as much a distraction as it was sincere, Mickey forgoes his one chance to cure Goofy because he learns that his friend is, in fact, happy with his new life and returns Madison's affection.
* KarmaHoudini: Madison may not have meant (all that) badly and [[LoveMakesYouEvil understandably was afraid to lose him]], but once she discovered that Goofy, who was suffering amnesia, had an eye for who got audiences hooked, she hooked him. She [[TheNicknamer nicknamed]] him "[[GoodLuckCharm Lucky]]", explicitly noting she didn't care about his real name, and dragged out his offer to review her programs. She had no interest in seeing him cured and cultivated his new personality for her own gain and benefit. And when Mickey, alerted by articles on Madison's new partner, found out about Goofy's amnesia and wished to cure him, she got dirty. Her employees were instructed to block any contact attempts by Mickey Mouse and she took Goofy on a vacation to further discourage the meddler. He came looking for them in Monkey Carlo anyway, so she [[{{Frameup}} planted a loaded deck on him]] and then alerted security. Mickey tried to reach Goofy again while skiing, prompting Madison to knock him off the piste when rushing him by. Badly injured,

* AffablyEvil: Okay, so the three robbed a bank and eggs and overall are involved with robbery, but they're a pleasant bunch to hang with as Mickey discovered. Even the more aggressive Snake wasn't anywhere near bad with Butch as his shoulder angel. They even helped Mickey stop the wedding between Slicker and (the unwilling) Minnie after [[EnemyMine he convinced them Slicker wasn't going to pay them]].

* EyepatchOfPower: The short crook wears an eyepatch on his left eye. He's sometimes drawn without it, which could go either way if he doesn't need it or if it's an art error.

* MilesGloriosus: His characterization in ''"The Seven Ghosts"''. He claims the Bassett Estate doesn't have any ghosts because he went to make sure of that. A moment later, another officer hands him the gun and hat he'd lost jumping through the window at the sight of the ghosts, which Colonel Bassett had sent him along with a bill for the glass.
* SoreLoser: Morphing into GracefulLoser. In ''"The Seven Ghosts"'', his thing was to be a glory hogger even though he'd done little to earn it. Most of the story's ending humor revolves around Colonel Bassett losing his patience with the man, kicking him out, and forbidding him from ever returning. The sequel ''"The Mystery of Freefer Hall"'' establishes the sergeant was demoted afterwards and spent some time patrolling in Donald's neighborhood before disappearing, which Donald liked just fine because he was sure the former sergeant was out for revenge. As it turns out, that was true, but he disappeared because he found a new career in acting and he no longer holds any grudges, regarding the events of ''"The Seven Ghosts"'' as an amusing artifact of the past.

In the Sunday strips alone, he's flirted with a peacock... [[PeacockGirl with a tail]], a lovebird (1950), a crane (1952), a pigeon (1953)

* FurryConfusion: He was bought by Goofy at a pet store, sometimes has to flee from hungry cats, flies like a real mynah, and isn't allowed in theaters, yet he [[HalfdressedCartoonAnimal wears a shirt and occasionally a hat]], has studied at Yale, has taken several jobs, and has even gone to prison a couple of times. This is never commented on but presented as completely normal. The height of absurdity this reaches is in a 1952 comic where Goofy forbids Ellsworth from going out that night, so Ellsworth ''buys a stuffed mynah and dresses it up as himself'' to trick Goofy into thinking he's at home.

* PapaWolf:
* PetHeir: In a 1953 gag comic, Ellsworth inherits $50.000 from a millionaire he used to belong too. He donates it to the Institute for Ornithology because [[StatusQuoIsGod the money robs him of his old charm]].
* PollyWantsAMicrophone: This trope is probably the entire reason for the extreme FurryConfusion.

%% ReformedCriminal: Type ReformedButNotTamed. Sometimes his past catches up with him, like a 1950 comics where his cousin Limberlip, who had dirt on him. 1951 "I'd pay to get in... but it's against my principles!"

* CommutingOnABus: Ellsworth tends to fly off and stay away, doing his own thing for a long time before returning home to Goofy. After he vanished from the newspaper comic, he was brought back by Romano Scarpa in 1962, with the explanation that he'd been off trying out several shady businesses. From thereon, he appeared in a number of Italian stories until 1966, after which his appearances got rarer and he'd only appear in a story once every couple of years. Then in 1975, he was brought back ''again'', now with the explanation that he'd joined the [[LegionOfLostSouls Foreign Legion.]]

* OutOfFocus: With a bit of TheBusCameback. Ellsworth's big decade, from an American perspective, were the 50s. When Bill Walsh stopped writing him, the character was picked up by Brazil, Italy, and later France, which to this day is the country he's most popular in. In regards to the USA, Ellsworth did not return until Gemstone in 2005/6 translated three stories he makes an appearance in.

* ChickMagnet: Ellsworth had a new girlfriend every time his love life came up in the early comics. Most of them were regular birds, but he's also flirted with people-birds.
* ColorCodedCharacters: Done in most versions of a 1951 newspaper comic in which Ellsworth hangs out with [[RememberTheNewGuy his old friends]] Ed and Ted, two mynah birds with a comedy routine.

* DeadpanSnarker: His sarcasms are ''biting,'' though Goofy never seems to catch on.

* FurryConfusion: He was bought by Goofy at a pet store, sometimes has to flee from hungry cats, and flies like a real mynah, yet he [[HalfdressedCartoonAnimal wears a shirt and occasionally a hat]], has studied at Yale, has taken several jobs and even gone to prison a couple of times. This is never so much as {{Lampshaded}} but just presented as completely normal.

* IAmNotWeasel: A minor recurring gag in the early comics is that Ellsworth is mistaken for another kind of bird, usually a parrot. He takes offense.

Originally introduced as Goofy's pet mynah bird, Ellsworth [[FurryConfusion soon became more anthropomorphic,]] switching between TalkingAnimal and full-fledged FunnyAnimal to the point where he can communicate effortlessly with both animals and humans. Originally appeared only in the Sunday newspaper strips by Bill Walsh and Manuel Gonzales, but was later used in a few longer stories by Romano Scarpa and other Italian writers.

* FurryConfusion: Hoo boy. He was bought by Goofy at a pet store, sometimes has to flee from hungry cats, and flies like a real mynah bird -- yet he [[HalfdressedCartoonAnimal wears a shirt and occasionally a hat]], has studied at Yale, has taken several jobs and even gone to prison a couple of times. This is never so much as {{Lampshaded}} but just presented as completely normal.

* AdventurerArchaeologist: Heath's more of a historian, but ready to jump into action to commit to the trope if the goal catches his fancy.

* OldFriends: With Bruto Filibuster, an equally Cloudcuckoolander-ish older man who works at the Aeronautics Museum.

* AdventurerArchaeologist:
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: In the original Italian comic(s), Heath is not related to Seamus, although he clearly does take design cues.

* TheNicknamer: He never refers to Mickey by his actual name. Monty's main nickname for him is "Jasper", followed by "Wilbur", and he's also gone for "Chauncey" and "Charlie".

An up-and-coming archeologist with a penchant for the kind of investigations that also are of interest to many less noble individuals. She can handle herself just fine against the worst of threats, but is always glad to find Mickey and Goofy on her trail to rely on in case the situation escalates.

* NeverASelfMadeWoman: Her uncle's time as explorer served as her "in" to the world of archeology.

A paleontologist and occasional biologist and archeologist who works at Dryupp University.

* TheProfessor: In paleontology, although his area of expertise has been stretched to include biology and archeology to make him suited for more stories.

A paleontologist and occasional biologist and archeologist who works at Huxley College.

!! Arizona Goof
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arizonagoof_3881.jpg]]
[[AC: First appearance: ''"The Lost Temple"'', 1988]]

One of Goofy's many cousins; an AdventurerArchaeologist and severe adrenaline junkie who is never really happy unless he's out exploring some ancient ruins, discovering lost civilizations, or just fighting for his life through thick jungles or climbing glaciers. He hates sleeping indoors, so when visiting Mickey or Goofy he always ends up camping out in their back yards -- and if he absolutely ''has'' to go inside, he'll at least enter the house through the window and not the door.

* ActionHero: A parody.
* AdventurerArchaeologist: Taken UpToEleven. He considers it a wasted week if he hasn't discovered any lost civilizations, solved any ancient riddles, boldly gone where no man has gone before, or at the very least been in some kind of life-threatening danger at least ''once.''
* AllergicToRoutine: In his very first story no less, he and Mickey spent a day tracking through the wilderness just because Arizona refused to do what everyone does and use the highway to get to their destination. Mickey was not amused.
* AffectionateParody: Of ''Franchise/IndianaJones'', of course -- but also of other {{Adventurer Archaeologist}}s from comics and films.
* TheAllegedCar: He has an old jeep which he affectionally calls "Gippippa," and which, similarly to DonaldDuck's 313, swings between being a CoolCar and TheAllegedCar, depending on the story.
* DitzyGenius: He's a highly skilled and competent archaeologist, but he's aso a borderline {{Cloudcuckoolander}} with some really ''strange'' ideas on how to behave.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Licorice candy. He is, in fact, borderline obsessed with licorice candy, preferably of a particular brand which everyone else finds completely inedible.
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: Like most of Goofy's relatives, he looks almost ''exactly'' like Goofy, just with different clothes and some added PermaStubble. A few stories have put this to good use, when the two cousins were forced to impersonate one another.

[[AC: First appearance: ''"Indiana Pipps e l'ultimo faraone"'', 2000]]

A colleague of Arizona Goof who occasionally joins him on expeditions.

* ActionGirl: Depends a little on how much spotlight any particular comic wishes to give to Arizona (and Mickey in ''"Indiana Pipps e il tempio di cristallo"''), but the trope gets mostly fulfilled.
* AdventurerArchaeologist: At least when she hangs out with Arizona.
* DoggedNiceGuy: They're friends and while Martina is romantically interested in Arizona, the feeling isn't mutual.
* {{Sidekick}}: When she is present, she is this to Arizona Goof.
