| 24 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_butch.png]] |
| 25 | [[AC: First appearance: ''"Mr. Slicker and the Egg Robbers"'', 1930]] |
| 26 | |
| 27 | A former crook who reformed thanks to Mickey's intervention. |
| 28 | ---- |
| 29 | * TheBusCameBack: Butch was used four times by Gottfredson and had a few appearances in comics from Great Britain before leaving the stage in the late 30s. He returned in 1996 and has been a regular since. |
| 30 | * NoSocialSkills: On occasion, Butch's low class upbringing and lack of education cause him to get into situations he can't handle or understand. It's less that he has no social skills as that he has social skills only fit for a part of society that he's largely left behind. |
| 31 | * PerpetualPoverty: He usually doesn't have a steady job, lives in a shack, and has one problem or another making ends meet. |
| 32 | * ReformedButRejected: A recurring topic in Butch's life is that he formerly was a crook and has to face distrust over that as well as being at risk of being pushed back into his old habits. ''"Future Imperfect"'' in particular tells of this struggle. |
| 33 | * ReformedCriminal: Aside from his initial story, he's also helped Mickey solve other cases such as in ''"Schoolgirls"'' and ''"Time Marches Off"''. |
| 34 | * TerribleTrio: Formed by Butch, Snake, and the other guy. Could somewhat argued to be CombatDiplomacyStealth in the order Snake, Butch, and the other guy. |

| 41 | |
| 42 | A goat couple. Gideon is usually a farmer, but sometimes a police officer. |
| 43 | ---- |
| 44 | * AlliterativeName: '''G'''ideon and '''G'''ertie '''G'''oat. |
| 45 | * HairTriggerTemper: In ''"The Great Orphanage Robbery"'', Gideon proudly points out he was the first to want to lynch Horace. |
| 46 | * PerpetualFrowner: Gideon, but mostly in his police officer appearances. |
| 47 | * OutOfFocus: Both characters were only used during the 30s, Gideon having slightly more appearances than Gertie. |

| 54 | [[AC:First appearance: ''"Brawling for Apples"'', 1997]] |
| 55 | |
| 56 | Mickey Mouse's next door neighbor. They hate each other passionately. |
| 57 | ---- |
| 58 | * NoNameGiven |
| 59 | * SitcomArchNemesis: He and Mickey, of all people, often bicker with and harass each other. |
| 60 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He's virtually Mouseton's version of Jones, Donald's neighbor. |
| 61 | * TrademarkFavouriteFood: Apple truffles. But to make them, he needs apples from the apple tree standing partially on Mickey's ground. That, of course, causes full-fledged war between them. |

| 70 | |
| 71 | A pig couple. They've got two children, a girl and a boy, named Peggy and Plato. |
| 72 | ---- |
| 73 | * AlliterativeName: '''P'''atricia and '''P'''ercy '''P'''igg. |
| 74 | * DamselInDistress: Half of Patricia's modern appearance (which aren't many, mind you) are in Dutch ''Mickey Mouse'' riddle-type comics. She's either the victim or part of the crowd anxiously awaiting Mickey's conclusions. |
| 75 | * GossipyHens: Patricia with Minnie Mouse, Clarabelle Cow, Daisy Duck, and Clara Cluck. It's another factor as to why she's been slightly more enduring than her husband. |
| 76 | * HappilyMarried: Patricia and Percy are among the very few couples in the neighborhood as far as the comics show. |
| 77 | * NuclearFamily: With a daughter and a son. No pet though. |
| 78 | * OutOfFocus: Percy's only appeared in a handful of comics after the 50s. |
| 79 | * SuddenNameChange: Before settling on "Pigg", the last names "Van Pork" and "Pig" also got used. |

| 85 | [[AC: First appearance: ''"Fireman Mickey"'', 1931]] |
| 86 | |
| 87 | An elderly man who is the town's station agent, motorman, postmaster, constable, fire chief, and justice of the peace. Mickey sometimes works for him. |
| 88 | ---- |
| 89 | * CoolOldGuy: With as many jobs as he manages at once and his role as somewhat of an EccentricMentor to Mickey, he qualifies. He has some GrumpyOldMan traits too in the {{pride}} department, best displayed when he takes offense when he and Mickey extinguish a fire threatening Clarabelle's house by bumbling. As he puts it: |
| 90 | --> '''Pop Weezil:''' "Another hour or so an' I'd of had her out in my ''own'' way!" |
| 91 | * TheBusCameBack: He got to star in a story again when ''"A Bomb Deal"'' was published in 1997, 65 years after his then-final appearance. He's yet to make a second comeback. |
| 92 | * JackOfAllTrades: As per the intro, he's the town's station agent, motorman, postmaster, constable, fire chief, and justice of the peace. Or was at his debut, anyway. |
| 93 | * HangingJudge: For pragmatic reasons. There was one guy in ''"Fireman Mickey"'' he fined five dollars for speeding. The guy only had a ten on him and Pop Weezil could't change, so he upped the fine to ten dollars. |

| 99 | [[AC: First appearance: ''"Clarabelle's Boarding House"'', 1931]] |
| 100 | |
| 101 | Annabelle came to live in Mouseton in Clarabelle's boarding house, finding a kindred soul in her. |
| 102 | ---- |
| 103 | * 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. |
| 104 | * OldMaid: She regrets not having found herself a man yet. |
| 105 | * 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. |
| 106 | * 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. |

| 113 | |
| 114 | An elderly couple involved with dog races. They're the owners of Zowie, the fastest dog in Mouseton. |
| 115 | ---- |
| 116 | * HappilyMarried: Mrs. Shoebuckle has Mickey promise he won't tell Timothy of any bad news while he's sick, arranging his care, shouldering their worries, and keeping the mortgage holder at bay all on her own in the meantime. |
| 117 | * NoNameGiven: Mrs. Shoebuckle's forename is not mentioned. |
| 118 | * TakingTheHeat: Mr. Shoebuckle knew there was a risk if he'd allow Pluto to enter the track's opening race, but he couldn't bring himself to send him away when Mickey came into his office with all naive optimism. So he gave them an entrance coupon and Pluto went on to singlehandedly ruin the entire event. The organization couldn't do more than permanently ban Mickey, but Shoebuckle was fired. This in turn caused the Shoebuckles further trouble with their mortgage, which could only be paid if Zowie would win a big race upcoming. Still, they didn't hold it against Mickey and even let Pluto become Zowie's training companion so Mickey could go on training him at the track. |

| 122 | !! Ellsworth Bheezer |
| 123 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_ellsworth.png]] |
| 124 | [[AC: First appearance: ''"Introducing Ellsworth"'', 1949]] |
| 125 | |
| 126 | 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. His rarely heard last name was first mentioned in a 1955 gag comic. |
| 127 | ---- |
| 128 | * ArchEnemy: It's not clear if it's the same one every time, but in the 50s Ellsworth often had violent confrontations with a hawk. |
| 129 | * AttentionWhore: Overlaps with VicariouslyAmbitious. Showbiz is a big part of Ellsworth's character. 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 contracts solely to spite the former owner. Twice, in 1953 and 1954, he started and directed a singing group, while in 1955 he coached a single meadow lark who fired him when he became ThePrimaDonna-by-proxy. In 1956 and 1959, Ellsworth gave televised ventriloquism a try, but the dolls were as spotlight-hungry as he was. He later helped Morty and a friend sell their lemonade by making a Wild West show out of it. And in 1957, he tried to train cats for a circus act, which fell through when he forgot to bring them yummies. |
| 130 | * TheBarnum: Unless Ellsworth has a soft spot for someone, he's going to treat a sucker like a sucker. And even being in his graces is no guarantee he won't exploit a weakness. It sometimes moves to HonestJohnsDealership territory when he turns his tricks into business ventures. |
| 131 | * BattleButler: He temporarily had one, named Fettle, in a 1958 comic. He was mightily impressed by his courage. |
| 132 | * 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). |
| 133 | * ColorCodedCharacters: Done in most versions of a 1951 newspaper comic in which Ellsworth hangs out with [[OldFriend his old friends]] Ed and Ted, two mynah birds with a comedy routine. |
| 134 | * CommutingOnABus: Depending on the country; it leans more towards OutOfFocus with a bit of TheBusCameback in the USA. 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 the Netherlands and France, the latter being 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, and then it took until 2016 for another such translation. In Italy, ''"Pippo e il ritorno del Gancio"'' emphasized Ellsworth's tendency to fly off and do his own thing before returning to Goofy with the explanation that he'd been off trying out several shady businesses. This characterization was then used in 1975, after a few years of absence, with the story being that he'd joined the [[LegionOfLostSouls Foreign Legion]]. During this time, he'd adopted Ellroy, an orphaned mynah bird, who more or less took over from Ellsworth thereafter. |
| 135 | * DeadpanSnarker: His sarcasms are ''biting,'' though Goofy [[SarcasmBlind rarely catches on]]. |
| 136 | * GoodLuckCharm: Goofy bought Ellsworth when he was down to $1.79 and the pet shop advertised a mynah for $1.79, thinking of it as a sign. Ellsworth wasn't in the least amused about being bought by a poor guy who kept talking about his belief that luck would change for them. Still, Ellsworth was there to take a phone call from the "Try And Get It" jack-pot radio show and answered the $200,000 question correctly. |
| 137 | * 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 restaurants or theaters, yet he [[HalfdressedCartoonAnimal wears a shirt and occasionally a hat]], has studied at [[UsefulNotes/IvyLeague Yarvard]], has taken several jobs, and has even been arrested 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. |
| 138 | * 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 or any type of blackbird. He takes offense. |
| 139 | * IdenticalStranger: Not all that weird considering he's an animal. He's been tricked by another mynah bird into [[SwappedRoles switching places]] twice, once in 1952 and another time in 1956. |
| 140 | * 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 nest (that was not entirely voluntarily), saved an abandoned egg from winter's cold and hatched and raised the chick, collected a penguin egg that fell off the truck to the zoo and hatched and raised that one too, took in a baby elephant, 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. |
| 141 | * PetHeir: In a 1953 gag comic, Ellsworth inherits $50.000 from a millionaire he used to belong to. He donates it to the Institute for Ornithology because [[StatusQuoIsGod the money robs him of his old charm]]. |
| 142 | * 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 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 simply not as significant 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!" On occasion, like in 1950 and 1959, ReformedButRejected kicks in when he's accused of theft committed by birds that look like him, such as crows. |
| 143 | * 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, a deputy sheriff, and more. Despite housing with a CloudCuckooLander-type genius, Goofy's hidden depths have never come up when he and Ellsworth share a comic. |
| 144 | * RobotMe: Ellsworth built himself one in a 1990 gag comic. He put it with the trash after it [[MotorMouth wouldn't shut up]]. |
| 145 | * SixthRanger: Plans for what would become ''WesternAnimation/MickeyDonaldGoofyTheThreeMusketeers'' started in 1983, with the role of fourth musketeer going to [[Characters/ClassicDisneyShorts José Carioca]]. In contrast, a 1994 cover of ''Le Journal de Mickey'' made in honor of the [[Film/TheThreeMusketeers1993 1993 movie]] depicts Ellsworth as the fourth musketeer, reflecting his popularity in France. |
| 146 | * TokenEvilTeammate: The closest to one that exists in Mickey's immediate circle. He's egocentric, vengeful, spiteful, violent, mischievous, a [[VitriolicBestBuds Vitriolic Best Bud]] towards Goofy who has no means to defend himself, but he's also loyal, a debt payer, a PapaWolf, and ultimately a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. |

| 153 | |
| 154 | One of Morty's closest friends. |
| 155 | ---- |
| 156 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Alvin's got an unnamed younger brother he sometimes has to look after. |
| 157 | * {{Expy}}: To Ferdie in the sense that he was the first of Morty's two friends that were introduced to give him a companion while Ferdie was out of the picture. |
| 158 | * FatBestFriend: Type A, although not with a personality that's necessarily distinct from Morty's. |
| 159 | * OutOfFocus: His last appearance was in 1988. |
| 160 | * TreehouseOfFun: Alvin and Morty (and some other friends that weren't recurring characters) built one in a 1964 comic. Millie sometimes joined them when they were hanging out there. |

| 166 | [[AC:First appearance: ''newspaper dailies'', 1958]] |
| 167 | |
| 168 | One of Morty's closest friends. She collects dolls. |
| 169 | ---- |
| 170 | * DistaffCounterpart: To Alvin and by extenstion Ferdie in the sense that she was introduced as a companion to Morty in line with Alvin. |
| 171 | * PuppyLove: She and Morty like each other a lot and occasionally talk about their future together. |
| 172 | * OneOfTheBoys: She is this some 50% of her appearances, including the rare times [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide it's Morty and Alvin who adjust to fit her preferences]]. One 1966 gag comic even suggests a deliberate gender role change on Millie's part where she has "girl" days and "boy" days. |
| 173 | * OneSteveLimit: Averted. She shares a forename with Minnie's niece. Confusingly, a 1966 gag comic shows Millie spending time at Minnie's house without clarification on their relation. |
| 174 | * OutOfFocus: Her last appearance was in 1987. |

| 180 | [[AC:First appearance: ''newspaper dailies'', 1969]] |
| 181 | |
| 182 | Goofy's love interest whose spotlight era was in the 70s. As per ''"The Case Of The Abominable Snowman"'', she's a balloonist. |
| 183 | ---- |
| 184 | * ButtMonkey: By far most of Glory-Bee's appearances are newspaper gag comics starring only her and Goofy. Because Goofy's thing is to bumble, Glory-Bee's thing becomes to be on the receiving end of his bumbling. |
| 185 | * LoveTriangle: A few comics depict her and Clarabelle as romantic rivals for Goofy. |
| 186 | * OutOfFocus: Glory-Bee's only appeared in a handful of comics after the 70s. |
| 187 | * ThemeNaming: Combines with PunnyName. Hers is a play on "Glory be!", a by now dated expression to indicate surprise. Glory-Bee and Goofy decide they are a romantic match because their names are a match. |
| 188 | * UglyGuyHotWife: She's a whole lot prettier than Goofy. |

| 193 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mickey_mouse_ellroy.png]] |
| 194 | [[AC: First appearance: ''"Ellsworth's Ornery Orphan"'', 1975]] |
| 195 | |
| 196 | An orphan rescued by Ellsworth during his time at the Foreign Legion and later adopted. Because Ellsworth travels a lot, Ellroy often stays with Mickey or Goofy and acts as Mickey's sidekick on adventures. |
| 197 | ---- |
| 198 | * BrattyHalfPint: Sometimes lapses into this, when he's not being a CheerfulChild. |
| 199 | * CheerfulChild: For the most part. He's good-natured and upbeat, and while he does have a strong mischievous side, he's on the whole ''far'' less trouble than Ellsworth. |
| 200 | * CompositeCharacter: A translation version. Since he and Ellsworth seldom appear in the same story, some translations of the comics (like the Norwegian one) tend to treat them as the same character. On the rare occasion when a story featuring them both is translated, Ellroy is treated as the character we know while Ellsworth is re-imagined as his shifty but loveable uncle. |
| 201 | * DeadpanSnarker: Not to the lenghts Ellsworth takes it, but he definitely has his moments. |
| 202 | * {{Flight}}: His biggest asset is that he can fly. |
| 203 | * FurryConfusion: More seldom, and to a lesser degree than Ellsworth, as he's generally presented as more anthropomorphic, but it's still there. His most notable "animal" trait is that he can fly, something that the other human stand-in birds of the comics (like for example WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck) can't do, and he has on occasion disguised himself as a normal bird in order to spy on the bad guys. |
| 204 | * GenerationXerox: Despite not being biologically related to Ellsworth, he looks and even acts an ''awful'' lot like him -- he is a little smaller, has a smaller beak and generally wears pants and gloves, but otherwise the two are so similar that many fans have thought they were the same character -- especially since they very rarely appear in the same story together. |
| 205 | * HappilyAdopted: In his first appearance, he wasn't aware that Ellsworth wasn't his biological father and only found out when he overheard Ellsworth telling Mickey the story of how he had found the kid in an abandoned nest in the desert. Ellroy's reaction? He went out and got a large bottle of sparkling cider, so he could toast Ellsworth and celebrate his father for being such a hero. |
| 206 | * HeroWorshipper: To Ellsworth, in the rare stories they appear together. He admires his father over everything. |
| 207 | * LargeHam: Not all the time, and since he's a comic book character it's not always that noticeable, but he's got a bit of a fondness for ChewingTheScenery, especially if he has an audience. |
| 208 | * MotorMouth: He's a bit of a chatterbox; he can go on at length about pretty much any subject if you let him. |
| 209 | * {{Sidekick}}: Occasionally to Mickey. |
| 210 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: For Ellsworth. Romano Scarpa even admitted that he'd introduced Ellroy as a toned-down replacement for Ellsworth, who wouldn't overshadow Mickey; "Ellsworth is too strong a character to play as a sidekick. He's got to be the star. Ellroy is duller, and highlights Mickey's role." |

| 217 | |
| 218 | A Dutch-original character ("sik" means "beard of a goat") who is good friends with Horace and Clarabelle. |
| 219 | ---- |
| 220 | * 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.

| 231 | [[AC:First appearance: ''"Mickey Mouse Sails for Treasure Island"'', 1932]] |
| 232 | |
| 233 | A sea captain who was thought dead for fifteen years until Mickey found him half-crazy while stranded on a desert island. After a fortunate coconut bump, Captain Churchmouse regained his sanity and reunited with his wife who had been waiting for his return. Ever since, he has enlisted Mickey's help when a voyage seemed to be a tough one. |
| 234 | ---- |
| 235 | * AffectionateParody: Nathaniel is one of [[Literature/TreasureIsland Ben Gunn]]. |
| 236 | * TheCaptain: Captain Nathaniel Churchmouse, although it varies whether he fulfills the trope's role or not. Only in ''"Mickey Mouse Sails for Treasure Island"'' is he shown as leading a crew, anyway. |
| 237 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Gottfredson always gave Mrs. Churchmouse some panels if her husband was in the story and emphasized how the couple would never be apart again. Later writers might as well never have seen those panels. In painful contrast, Spooks, the gorilla explicitly returned to his home in Africa, has been picked up to star alongside Nathaniel some more. |
| 238 | * HappilyMarried: Few couples in the comics are as idealistic as the Churchmouses. |
| 239 | * IWillWaitForYou: Mrs. Churchmouse waited fifteen years for her husband to return. |
| 240 | * MightyWhitey: The local population of the titular island treated Nathaniel as a god because of his unpredictability. Mickey even refers to him as a "white god". |
| 241 | * TheMutiny: It was a mutiny led by Peg-leg Pete and Sylvester Shyster that got Captain Churchmouse missing for years. |
| 242 | * NoNameGiven: Mrs. Churchmouse's forename is not mentioned. |
| 243 | * PreInsanityReveal: It takes a bit before Mickey understands that the hermit he's dealing with is Captain Churchmouse and gets him back to his senses. |
| 244 | * RagsToRiches: The Churchmouses deal with poverty each in their own way, but at the end of ''"Mickey Mouse Sails for Treasure Island"'' they reunite and get a treasure out of the adventure too. |
| 245 | * ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Even Captain Churchmouse himself thought he was dead, showing Mickey his grave and talking about what a brave man he was back when he was alive. |
| 246 | * {{Robinsonade}}: Churchmouse from his time stranded in Africa. He wasn't alone per se, as there were people native to the area around, but he wasn't quite one of them, being treated like a spirit. |
| 247 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Mickey's uncle Churchmouse in ''"Twenty Fathoms to Treasure"''. |
| 248 | * WalkingTheEarth: Implied with a dash of CoolOldGuy and CoolOldLady. What's the first thing they do when reunited after all that happened? Set out for a boat trip for at least four months according to ''"Mickey Mouse Joins the Foreign Legion"''! What do they do when they get rich thanks to the treasure in ''"In Search of Jungle Treasure"''? Sail around the world all by themselves in a brand new boat! |

| 270 | * TheBusCameBack: He had two appearances in 1938 and finally returned in 2002's ''"The Secret Scooper"'', making for a difference of 64 years. |
| 271 | * FriendlyRivalry: Mac's and Mickey's friendship stands out for the near-constant banter the two engage in, either to pedestalize themselves or to take the other down a peg. It is all unquestionably in good fun. Take the lines of Mac's first on-panel appearance (to which Mickey admits defeat!) for example: |
| 272 | --> '''Mickey:''' "Oh-oh! Directed by the "great" [=MacCorker=]! What chance has ''this'' picture got?" |
| 273 | --> '''Mac:''' "A mighty swell chance --- if we had a good ''star''!" |
| 274 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: ''"The Brave Little Tailor"'' is an adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/BraveLittleTailor''. Because the newspaper comics formed one long storyline, the tale was framed as a [[ShowWithinAShow movie Mickey and his friends were actors in]]. Mac belongs to the framing segment, which was maintained for ''"Mickey Mouse Meets Robinson Crusoe"'', and thus by nature is a fourth wall-leaning character. |

Carrie's fate remains a played-up mystery throughout the story until it is revealed she got married and willingly sold her ranch to the villains. This does not fit the narrative up to that point, such as Beamish getting nervous when Mickey asks about the ranch's notable feminine touch when there's only men working there.

| 313 | * CartoonCreature: While Samuel and Matthew are easily recognizable as mice, Melody is not. She has the ears, but she lacks the framed face fur pattern her elders have. What she does have is a tail that seems to belong to a cat. Possibly, [[InterspeciesRomance her mother was feline]]. |
| 314 | * MissingMom: Samuel's wife and Melody's mother is never mentioned. She might be dead if Matthew is Melody's second caretaker. |
| 315 | * PluckyGirl: Melody is probably around 15 years old and takes the disappearance of her father remarkably well. She cares for her uncle as well as he cares for her and when he disappears she refuses to let Mickey search for him alone. She is reunited with her family when they're all captured by Pete and during that time is the most positive there's a way out. |

| 327 | * OutOfFocus: He hasn't been used in a comic since 1989. |
| 328 | * TheMedic: It's a good thing he's so good-natured, because his clients come with the weirdest of ailments. Minnie once saw him for getting her face full of spines from talking to her cactus. Goofy once arrived with a buzzing head -- turned out there was a fly stuck under his hat. And Mickey once called him over just so he could make his excuse as to why he couldn't attend a tea party look real. |

| 343 | * HugeGuyTinyGirl: She's at most a head taller than Minnie and went on a date with Goofy that turned into them busting two fences together. |
| 344 | * RedHerring: Either a bad one or an AbortedArc. The four villains of the story are two jewel thieves and two fences. The jewel thieves, for unexplained reasons (possibly safety by reputation), are pretending to be Gaston Tooshay, a well-known international jewel thief. This Gaston Tooshay does not show up in the story and none of the four crooks knows what the master criminal looks like. Tooshay (phonetic transcription of "{{Touche}}") is evidently French, which raises the suspicion until the end pages that the French Patti is going to turn out to be "him". This suggestion grows when Patti eagerly goes with Goofy to trick the fences, claiming she knows "how these criminals behave, [because she] read ze book once!", and objects to being called his moll. However, nothing comes of it. There's no reason or payoff to the French angle, Patti's enthusiasm for going after the fences while everyone else is cautious just is a thing, and Gaston Tooshay remains an [[HiddenVillain informed villain]]. |

| 403 | |
| 404 | A competent but glory-hungry detective of the Mouseton PD that's often shown up by Mickey. |
| 405 | ---- |
| 406 | * AscendedExtra: Originally a supporting character in Mickey Mouse-stories, in Italy he nowadays stars as the protagonist of his own stories without Mickey around, often paired up with Brick Boulder. |
| 407 | * ButtMonkey: He has traces of this. |
| 408 | * CharacterExaggeration: In ''"The Plumber's Helper"'', there were a few jokes about Casey being less smart than Mickey, but overall he was competent, fully trusted Mickey, and had no objections to letting Mickey lead the investigation. In ''"Mickey Mouse Outwits the Phantom Blot"'', these positive traits were mostly transferred to Chief O'Hara and Casey's lacking smarts compared to Mickey were played up and emphasized with detrimental arrogance. |
| 409 | * CluelessDetective: Leads into DumbassHasAPoint. Casey can be considered the lawfully appointed parallel to friendly neighborhood Goofy. His main role is to be the one who draws the wrong conclusions, follows the wrong clues, and in meaning well gets in the way of the solution. However, at those times Mickey gets overwhelmed, having Casey around is vital to not dying and getting the baddies behind bars. For example in ''"Mickey and the Grey Scourge"'', while Mickey's friends were failing to tell him from his CriminalDoppelganger Miklos, Casey dropped in with Pluto to recognize by smell. Another time in ''"Quadruple Threat"'', after initially not believing Mickey's claims something was off about a new radio station, Casey did some thinking on his own and came to the same conclusion as Mickey, rushing to the relevant address in time to pull Mickey out of an EnemyCivilWar. |
| 410 | * InspectorJavert: Some stories have him in this role. If Mickey or one of his friends are framed or wrongfully accused of a crime, Detective Casey is always the one most gung-ho about bringing them in. |
| 411 | * InspectorLestrade: Especially in older comic books and in Italian stories: When he stars in Mickey-as-detective stories he usually acts as the Inspector Lestrade to Mickey's Literature/SherlockHolmes. |
| 412 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's grouchy, impatient and much too quick to jump to conclusions, but he is, when it comes down to it, an honest cop who genuinely wants to uphold law and justice. |

| 415 | * ThoseTwoGuys: Sometimes forms this with Rock Sassi. |
| 416 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: In ''"Goofy's Mechanical Wizard"'', Casey is drawn far more human-like, having only a nose and ears to show he's not actually a human. He lacks the distinctive lips, snout, and flair of movement. Were it not for his name being given, he'd be unrecognizable. |

| 424 | |
| 425 | Chief of the Mouseton PD, he's friends with Mickey Mouse and the two sometimes ask each other for help. He's married to Petulia. |
| 426 | ---- |
| 427 | * DaChief: Though of the less-blustery kind, especially towards Mickey and Goofy. The one he's most strict with is Detective Casey. |
| 428 | * DependingOnTheArtist: O'Hara has been depicted with [[PaletteSwap either white hair or brown hair]]. Most artists favor white hair. |
| 429 | * FriendOnTheForce: Which has helped Mickey in many cases. |
| 430 | * HappilyMarried: Has been so ever since ''"The Gleam"'', although his wife did not become a character until ''"Basettoni e la dieta da fame"''. The most strain they show in stories Petulia appears in is that she wishes he'd be a little less married to his job. |
| 431 | * NamedByTheAdaptation: Gottfredson only gave the character his last name, O'Hara. Some translations and later comics to use the character gave him first names like Albert (France) and Konrad (Sweden). He was given a first name for use in the anglosphere in ''"With Friends Like These..."''. |
| 432 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Usually a serious and calm character, he can get into the antics of his men, or even crazier, at a moment's notice, such as when a creative judge sentenced Pete to work as a cop and O'Hara partnered him with a new officer with ObsessivelyOrganized tendencies. |
| 433 | * NuclearFamily: Abandoned. ''"Mickey's Dangerous Double"'' makes mention of a young son, whereas ''"The Kid Gang"'' has the O'Haras think of adopting. While mentions of Seamus's wife have evolved into the character Petulia, the possibility of them having children appears to no longer apply. |
| 434 | * OfficerOHara: As if he himself is not enough, in the ''"The Phantom Fires"'' he states that the O'Haras have a perfect record as peace officers for six generations. In the same comic, he asks Mickey to help out his brother, who is the sheriff of Peaceful Valley. |
| 435 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Unless the plot demands otherwise, O'Hara and Mickey enjoy a solid friendship and readily will come to the other's aid. His relation with Casey is less pretty, but he does for the most part believe in him, even when others don't. More in general, some comics hint that O'Hara's AFatherToHisMen. |
| 436 | * ReformedBully: His history with Mickey and Goofy is revealed to be based on this in one of the stories: a kid nicknamed Sammy The Harrasser used to bully everyone at the school they and their friends went as a kid, but everyone finally had enough of his schenanigans when it seemed like that he had stolen a number of items from them, including the teacher's diamond engagement ring. Instead of joining in with the rest of the class to blame him, Mickey and Goofy believed him when he insisted that he didn't do it and it didn't take them long to discover that a ThievingMagpie had stolen the items instead. As a result, everyone apologized to him, he promised to clean up his act, asked everyone to stop using his bully nickname and use his actual name instead: [[CanonCharacterAllAlong Seamus O'Hara]]. |
| 437 | * WithFriendsLikeThese: Whenever Mickey or one of the gang is framed or otherwise happens to look guilty, odds are that O'Hara will be convinced of their involvement. Or at least the need to arrest them. Sometimes there's the vaguest hint that he feels personally betrayed or doesn't want to look like he's playing favorites, like in ''"The Rajah's Treasure"'', but usually his reflections end at "I'd never thought they'd do this.". |

Then he turns the corner and comes face to face with the Phantom Blot in the middle of breaking into a jewelry store. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere He reacts within reason.]] |
| 448 | * DependingOnTheArtist: Clancy's model is different nearly every appearance he makes, which might be because he's a minor character whose stories are drawn by a different artist each time. The image used is of his first scene in ''"The Mystery of the Robot Army!"'', while his second scene only a few pages later depicts him as identical to O'Hara. The O'Hara-look also was sported in his debut comic story ''"The Dog Show"''. ''"The Strange World of Gregory Gopher"'' maintains the moustache as from the image, but colors his hair red (for context, he appears next to a brown-haired O'Hara). And in ''"The Return of the Phantom Blot"'', he's given one of Paul Murry's standard police officer designs; the one with a strip of black hair. In ''"The Uninvited Guest"'', an Officer Clanc'''e'''y shows up, who may or may not be the same as Clancy. He's bald and has a heavy snout. |
| 449 | * FriendOnTheForce: To Mickey and co. The defining quality he has compared to the other ones is that Clancy patrols the streets and thus can be encountered outside of (police) cases, giving him a more accessible role. Played with in ''"The Strange World of Gregory Gopher"'', when the reveal that Clancy has been replaced with an evil clone after that already was discovered to be the case with O'Hara beats down hope even further. |
| 450 | * OfficerOHara: At times more obvious than at others, not unlike Chief O'Hara. |

| 456 | [[AC:First appearance: ''"The Shattered-Glass Mystery"'', 1952]] |
| 457 | |
| 458 | An ace detective who sometimes is called in to help with a case and sometimes just happens to find Mickey Mouse on his path. |
| 459 | ---- |
| 460 | * AffectionateParody: Of [[Franchise/SherlockHolmes Sherlock Holmes]]. |
| 461 | * DemotedToExtra: Shamrock Bones's last story was published in 1984. Since then, he's only appeared in riddle-type comics and illustrations. |
| 462 | * DeusExMachina: Occasionally becomes this when he appears out of nowhere (in disguise) and saves Mickey and co. from circumstances they otherwise wouldn't have survived. |
| 463 | * GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: He used a pipe in his early appearances, but lost it in the late 80s. He stores a collection of pipes in his coat and picks them based on what kind of crime the case he's working on is about. He also has one pipe filled with a truth-telling concoction he can blow at criminals. |
| 464 | * MasterOfDisguise: Starting his second appearance in ''"The Mysterious Pill Plot"''. He tends to show up unexpectedly in whatever disguise suits the situation. |
| 465 | * SurveillanceAsThePlotDemands: He's got a detectograph that can calculate an answer to any question posed to it. It is advanced enough that, in ''"Invaders from Hootowl Hollow"'', it decided that Emil Eagle had to be behind the crime. When the question was repeated with the data that it couldn't be Emil (as he was in jail), the detectograph insisted it was Emil. Mickey checks up on the crook and discovers he's escaped two weeks ago, leaving a dummy to fool the guards. |
| 466 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: In the 1954 comic ''"The Mysterious Crystal Ball"'', he might as well be another character. |

| 474 | An officer from Texas who is not that bright and a little gung-ho, but possesses a good sense of justice. |
| 475 | ---- |
| 476 | * BadassDecay: When he first appeared, even the Phantom Blot was terrified of him, and Pete admits he's the only criminal who ever escaped him only because of sheer luck, but in later appearances he doesn't come up as the infallible cop of his debut anymore. {{Justified|Trope}} as in Mouseton he doesn't get as much action as he used to in Texas, being forced in investigations he's just decent with rather than jumping criminals caught in the act (something he's ''exceptional'' at). |
| 477 | * ButNotTooForeign: His family is of Italian descent, and his great-grandfather still lives near [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matera Matera]]. |
| 478 | * CharacterCheck: Once in a while he still gets the chance to just jump the perp... And demonstrates why ''Phantom Blot'' is terrified by him. |
| 479 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: Debuted as basically a LighterAndSofter [[Film/DirtyHarry Harry Callaghan]] before becoming friendlier and boisterous. |

| 492 | ---- |
| 493 | * DeadpanSnarker: With extra accent on the "deadpan". Most of his snark relates to people not going to come back from dangerous mission, even if those people include him. |
| 494 | * TheDeterminator: In his own low-energy, deadpan way. He's going to complain and make horrible predictions about what's going to happen, but he's not going to let it stop him either. |
| 495 | * TheEeyore: Well, his name ''is'' "Gloomy" ... and boy, does he ever live up to it. |
| 496 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: In some translations, like the Danish ones, Gloomy is a cousin of Goofy. Which works pretty well thematically. |
| 497 | * TricksterMentor: Gloomy was Mickey's pilot instructor during preparational ground practice. The first thing he did was make Mickey cross a wooden beam promising him it'd hold as he'd already tested it himself. It didn't. Gloomy then explained the agitated Mickey never to fly a plane just because someone else tells you it'll fly; always check it over yourself. |

| 559 | ---- |
| 560 | * DamselInDistress: Combines with DistressedDude, but the [[HystericalWoman comic's emphasis is on Sue's troubles]]. The Crime King has abducted Foo to create decoys for him and Sue's been warned he'll be shot if she goes to the police. Her terror over her father's fate makes Sue barely able to continue performing, which insofar is fortunate because her crying afterwards cued Mickey in she's the one at the Pagoda Palace Restaurant he needed to talk to. |
| 561 | * TheEngineer: At least Foo, possibly Sue. Foo's speciality is creating lifelike fold-up constructions using paper and bamboo. He's used his skill to create miniature buildings for disappearing tricks for Sue's performances, but the Crime King had him make to-scale buildings and vehicles to distract the population and make it easy for his men to commit plenty of robberies. When freed, Foo rewards Mickey and Goofy with a fold-up junk. |
| 562 | * MissingMom: No Mrs. Lee is mentioned during the entirety of Foo being abducted. |
| 563 | * ScoobyDooHoax: The Crime King used Foo Lee's creations to disturb the citizens' attention away from his crime spree. The series included an extra five floors for the Drake Building that swayed in the wind and made it look the building would topple, the Cob Hill Mansion that burned down ten years ago and was presented as [[GeniusLoci returning to do so again]], and a blimp that seemed to be the crook's getaway vehicle but actually was a bomb intended to take out Goofy and Mickey. |

| 589 | ---- |
| 590 | * AcademicAthlete: Gilbert is the team's brains. |
| 591 | * MentorArchetype: The coach combines subtropes BadassTeacher, TokenAdult, and AFatherToHisMen. In ''"Silent Witness"'', he beats up three criminals at once for threatening Sly, Morty, Ferdie, and Gilbert to the point they're glad when the cops come to take them away. He's the only adult consistently involved with the team, only rarely being joined by the kids' parents or Mr. Humbert, the team's sponsor. And he's a father figure, caring more about making his charges have fun and feel good about their efforts than about forcing them to victory. Morty and Ferdie learn the benefits of this approach in ''"Touch-Line Terror"'' when they see the coach of the other team practically terrorize the players. |

Before that point, he's tried Morty, Manfred, Monty, Martin, Matthew, Mel, Moe, Max, Milton, Merrill, Mercer, Maynard, Marlon, Manuel, Moofus, Monticello, and Monteigo. He got Atomo's name right from the start. |
| 608 | * AdventurerArchaeologist: Heath's more of a historian, but ready to jump into action to commit to the trope if the prize catches his fancy. |
| 609 | * CollectorOfTheStrange: Antiques aren't that strange to collect, but Heath goes at in a way that makes it hard to tell how reliable his collection is. For starters, Heath's ability to discern genuine antiques from fakes and things that don't even pretend to be antiques is hit-or-miss. In addition, his collection contains such peculiar pieces that it's hard to tell if they're supposed to be taken seriously, such as a scale model for the pyramids and the staircase from Admiral Nelson's flagship. |

| 622 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Was threatened with this when Emil wanted to turn her, Shamrock, and Goofy into "human robots" by altering their personality. Prebbles's role in his large scale art theft scheme would've been to help him pick targets and to legitimize [[TrojanHorse his robot statues]] to get them wherever there'd be loot. |

| 625 | * ShoutOut: Prebbles Blackstone is named after Pebbles Flintstone from ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones''.

| 703 | ---- |
| 704 | * 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!" |

And in the meantime, I got a bit ''forward of that''". |

Considering [[UsefulNotes/AtomicBombingsOfHiroshimaAndNagasaki what happened in the real world between his original appearance and his return in "The Delta Dimension"]] (something he actually alludes to) and what happens in the latter story when Pete gets his hands on the blueprints of some of his inventions, you can't deny he's right. In a variation, he knows the world ''will'' be ready one day, and takes an active role in accelerating said process by sharing some of his discoveries with trusted scientists while also keeping contact with Mickey in case someone manages to steal an invention he's not willing to share. |

| 738 | * 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. |

| 753 | * 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. |
| 754 | * 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? |

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. |
| 757 | * 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. |

Cue a spark from the equipment igniting the dynamite and setting the dinosaurs free... |

After being abducted, nearly losing the throne to Duke Varlott, learning his people hate him because he's a selfish ruler while Mickey in mere days managed to become beloved, and owing his good ending to commoners Mickey and Minnie, Michael takes a hard look at himself and strives to be a better person. Phylline already disliked Michael's selfish attitude to kingship, but she too did not regard commoners as people per se and imagined herself above consequences until she learned what Mickey and Minnie had done for Medioka. |
| 863 | * CoveredInKisses: After being informed of Michael's and Mickey's switcheroo, Phylline gives Mickey a final kiss in gratitude, which leaves a mark on his cheek. Michael joking calls it "a decoration - ze Royal Order of Queen Phylline". Minnie is fine with it until in the coach home Mickey still hadn't wiped it off. |
| 864 | * HonorBeforeReason: In Medioka, there is a law that any commoner who sits on the throne must be executed. Mickey was not informed of this when he accepted to switch places with the king. Despite his contributions to saving the country and the bond of friendship he'd built with the royal couple, Mickey was not going to be spared death by Michael on reasons that the king can't just let the law depend on his whim and favor. Mickey and Minnie are incredulous this is how their adventure should end, but [[WithFriendsLikeThese Phylline and Count de Sheckels compliment Michael on his strength of character]]. Fortunately, Count de Sheckels had thought ahead and switched out the throne for a fake, so Mickey can live. |

After they are cured, they immediately assume the worst of Mickey, who has risked his life to give them theirs back, and display an attitude towards him that's well in the area of "haughty". Only after they've returned to the embassy and spoken with the royal advisors do they understand what has happened and that their treatment of Mickey was severely misplaced. Tapiocus quickly goes back to beg for forgiveness. |
| 880 | * FountainOfYouth: Over six months before the events of ''"The Mystery of Tapiocus VI"'', one Professor Stoltz's research into a rejuvenation medicine had yielded him a pill to make someone mentally a child again and a pill to undo that effect. Then he died and a crook named Swifty managed to get his hands on the pills. |

Pete is his, which gave Swifty the idea to feed the mentally de-ageing pills to King Tapiocus VI and Duke Feline so [[CaptureAndReplicate Pete could take the latter's place]] and the former would easily be bullied away to grant Pete all power. It was a foolproof plan but for the freak coincidence that Tapiocus ended up in Mouseton and met Mickey. |
| 882 | * PreInsanityReveal: Tapiocus did tell Mickey and Goofy about his Mazumian origins and his dealings with "the regent", but neither took him seriously. Then Tapiocus gave Mickey his piggybank to bail him out and the coins inside showed that Tapiocus really was Mazumian royalty. He and Duke Feline are later cured from their mental age predicament. |

There does not appear to have been any particular reason for this like there was with Pete, as Dan never was prominent enough to create confusion. Gottfredson consistently portrayed his peg-leg to be on the left side, which, incidentally is a halfway decent difference between Dan and Pete, whose peg-leg by origin is on the right side. |

| 929 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: That or DependingOnTheArtist. Dan originally appeared in two comics in 1932 and 1933, written and drawn by Gottfredson. It's obvious on the whole front, but the peg-leg is a dead giveaway that Dan is a [[{{Expy}} stand-in for Pete]]. He may very well have been meant to be Pete before a last-minute decision. Several translations have even presented him as Pete, trying his hand at an honest job. After that, he didn't return until Walsh revived him in 1949. That is, the character that's definitely Dan is, as drawn by Manuel Gonzales. But "another" corpulent cat dogcatcher became a regular four years earlier in 1945, again as written by Walsh but as drawn by Gottfredson. It's possible this dogcatcher is Dan too, redesigned by Gottfredson to differentiate him from Pete. |

| 935 | -> Voiced by: Pinto Colvig (original voice), Creator/JeffBennett (''WesternAnimation/MickeysOnceUponAChristmas''), Creator/MauriceLaMarche (1999-present), Paul Rudish (2013 television series) |
| 936 | [[AC:First appearance: ''"Mickey's Rival"'', 1936]] |
| 937 | |
| 938 | One of Mickey's rivals for Minnie's affections. One of several ''Mickey Mouse'' characters carrying the name Mortimer, others being Minnie's uncle and Mickey's nephew. |
| 939 | ---- |
| 940 | * AlliterativeName: '''M'''ortimer '''M'''ouse. |
| 941 | * CatchPhrase: In ''Mickey Mouse Works'' and ''House of Mouse'', Mortimer had a tendency to respond to unusual situations with "Hot-Cha-Cha!". This has since made its way into the comics, such as in ''"King of the Bungaloos Strikes Back"''. An additional minor inspiration from the show is Mortimer calling others "Fickle Freddy". First uttered in "Mickey's Mix-Up", it returned in ''"The Man That Wasn't There!"''. |
| 942 | * DirtyCoward: When danger lurks, Mortimer is more than happy to throw everyone else at it in order to save himself -- even Minnie, and even if he was just trying to court her moments before. |
| 943 | * {{Expy}}: Combined with CompositeCharacter and DecompositeCharacter. In 1930, Gottfredson wrote ''"Mr. Slicker and the Egg Robbers"'' which introduced the first "Mortimer-esque" character: Mr. Slicker. Then in January of 1936 Gottfredson was involved with ''"Mickey's Rival"'', the comic that introduced Mortimer Mouse himself and was followed with an animated version in June. Lastly, 1941 saw the publication of ''"Love Trouble"'', scripted and sketched by Gottfredson. This comic debuted a third "Mortimer-esque" character: Montmorency Rodent. Gottfredson treated them as separate characters because each of them had to be introduced to Mickey in their debut comics. Translations and later comics to feature these characters often differ in approach and present the three as the same or interchangeable. "Mortimer Mouse" is considered the default identity but he regularly gets drawn in the likeness of Montmorency. |
| 944 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Minnie generally likes him, or something that can with some lenience be called that, but the trope's in effect for everyone else when Mortimer isn't straight-up played as an antagonist. Illustrated nicely by the cover art of ''Topolino'' #3075. |
| 945 | * HateSink: His role in stories is basically to be a prankster and borderline bully towards Mickey, so that he can get his comeuppance in the end. CharacterizationMarchesOn, though, and some modern comics portray him as an unlikely ally or even tough friend. |
| 946 | * {{Jerkass}}: Pretty much all he does is pick on Mickey and try to get into Minnie's pants, even when Minnie makes it clear that she is only interested in Mickey. |
| 947 | * MilesGloriosus: He'll be bragging up a storm about his own strength and courage, but as soon as things don't go his way, he'll be the first to turn tail and run. |
| 948 | * OneSteveLimit: Averted. There's another Mortimer Mouse, who is Minnie's uncle. There's also a Mortimer Fieldmouse, who is Mickey's nephew. |
| 949 | * ThePrankster: As mean-spirited as you can imagine. Think "cuts apart Mickey's clothes while he's over for dinner at Minnie's". |
| 950 | * RichSuitorPoorSuitor: Mortimer being the rich one, and Mickey being... [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin well, you know]]. |
| 951 | * WritersSuck: He dabbles in writing scripts for shows and movies, and is quite poor at it: |
| 952 | ** In one story he and Mickey replace Moffetta, the missing writer of [[ShowWithinAShow the popular and long-running detective series "Bolton"]], with Mickey as the main writer and Mortimer as the assistant... And Mortimer, owing to his ability to get the producer to listen him, proceeds to make non-sensical alterations that lead to Mickey quitting (soon followed by the main actor and director, that Mortimer replaces with himself) and ''going to look for the old writer to save the show''. As Moffetta had faked his disappeareance because he, the main actor and the director were sick of "Bolton" and wanted to make another show but the producer wouldn't listen them, Mortimer's "Bolton" is canceled at the first episode of Mortimer's "Bolton Reloaded", as the sponsors have seen he has lost them the entire target audience and pull the funding... To instead produce ''Moffetta's new show'' after seeing the pilot (produced with the help of Mickey and friends). And as there was still just enough funds to produce one last "Bolton"'s episode, [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment Mortimer is forced to take part in it and have his version of Bolton exposed as an imposter by the original before being kidnapped by a Martian robot (one of Mortimer's characters) that is going back home]]. |
| 953 | ** In the "Darkenblot" saga Mortimer wrote the script for the in-universe film based on the events of the second story. While popular, it's a terrifying and nonsensical ClicheStorm that Minnie loves only because Mortimer added her to the story and turned Mickey's female ally into a villainous robot. Mickey, on the other hand, is disgusted (and remarks he had recognized the style when he finally learns who the writer was)... And [[BigBad Phantom Blot]] is incensed for his portrayal in the film. |

| 959 | [[AC:First appearance: ''"The Seven Ghosts"'', 1936]] |
| 960 | |
| 961 | A sergeant for the MPD who got demoted after messing up a case and went into acting. |
| 962 | ---- |
| 963 | * 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. |
| 964 | * 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. |
| 965 | * NeverTheObviousSuspect: In ''"The Mystery of Freefer Hall"'', because who else but someone with a personal grudge would try to burn down Bassett Estate? Not to mention he made a point of keeping a distance between himself and Mickey, Goofy, and Donald. Turns out he did that to not endanger his performance. |
| 966 | * NoNameGiven: Two stories and still no name. There are characters worse off, but it's still sad. |

| 972 | [[AC:First appearance: ''"Mickey's Rival"'', 1936]] |
| 973 | |
| 974 | Joe Piper, Mr. Dibble , Mr. [=McKatz=], and another man are a quartet of stage actors who had to resort to crime when the seats stayed empty. Their acting skills proved useful in setting up a scheme to commit a great number of robberies. |
| 975 | ---- |
| 976 | * AffablyEvil: The four aren't exactly hardened criminals and to some extent they are relieved to have been caught by the police. They readily cooperate to close the case snappily (to the point the police complains they don't get to do their job this way) and spend the extra time this nets them to plan what plays they'll perform for their fellow prisoners. Before being sent off to jail, Joe Piper addresses Mickey to tell him there's no hard feelings because Mickey only did what he had to do and that he looks forward to be visited in prison. |
| 977 | * CulturedBadass: Joe Piper isn't violent, but he's clear about his strength and size in several confrontations. |
| 978 | * DoItYourselfPlumbingProject: Joe Piper doesn't do his own plumbing, but he has very limited experience and makes a mess of his customers' plumbing. There's some ambiguity if his initial incompetence is an act to draw away suspicion or if he's truly unbothered about making showers that are only a meter high because he's out of pipes or bending long pipes to fit small distances. |
| 979 | * GentlemanAndAScholar: All four of the group. |
| 980 | * GetRichQuickScheme: Not quite "quick", but still faster than what honest work would give them. With the times changing, the four stage actors stopped being able to provide for themselves. However, they knew a city commissioner who wanted to start an acting career himself, so they gave him lessons (that paid off). In exchange, he appointed Dibble as a building inspector. Dibble then arranged for [=McKatz=] to get work as a general contractor, Piper as a plumber, and the other one as the watchman at the city bank. Dibble would use his position to condemn houses so [=McKatz=] and Piper could move in on it and make the house easy to break into for the watchman, who had a not-so-bright friend cover his shift at the bank on the excuse he was visiting a girlfriend. The watchman was kept out of the bureaucratic aspects of the plan so the police would not suspect him to be part of the gang while Piper and Dibble played the incompetent plumber and the building inspector fed up with him to further divert suspicion. The rich houses they robbed were a preparation for the bank robbery, which would double as their grand escape. |
| 981 | * MasterActor: Overlaps with ThePowerOfActing. Mickey only realized all four crooks were involved in the robberies when their scheme neared completion and neither he nor the police ever suspected them to be actors. |
| 982 | * NoNameGiven: Joe Piper is the only one whose full name is given. Dibble and [=McKatz=] have to do with a last name only. The watchman didn't get a name at all. |
| 983 | * StarvingArtist: The reason they turned to crime. They used to enjoy great successes, but at some point the audience did not return for them. |

| 989 | [[AC:First appearance: ''"Love Trouble"'', 1941]] |
| 990 | |
| 991 | One of Mickey's rivals for Minnie's affections. He's the chauffeur of a man whose possessions he sometimes borrows-without-asking to look better. The character as originally written fits more as a half-villain than an acquaintance, but it's practical to keep Montmorency's entry nearby Mortimer's due to the two characters having been merged since. |
| 992 | ---- |
| 993 | * TheButlerDidIt: "The chauffeur did it", or "it is the chauffeur", but same difference. |
| 994 | * {{Expy}}: Combined with CompositeCharacter and DecompositeCharacter. In 1930, Gottfredson wrote ''"Mr. Slicker and the Egg Robbers"'' which introduced the first "Mortimer-esque" character: Mr. Slicker. Then in January of 1936 Gottfredson was involved with ''"Mickey's Rival"'', the comic that introduced Mortimer Mouse himself and was followed with an animated version in June. Lastly, 1941 saw the publication of ''"Love Trouble"'', scripted and sketched by Gottfredson. This comic debuted a third "Mortimer-esque" character: Montmorency Rodent. The likeness between the three is obvious, to the point one scene in ''"Love Trouble"'' appears set up solely so Goofy could say "Boy, I'll bet y' showed that slicker, Monty, up! Heard yuh played some kinda egg trick on 'im!" which evokes ''"Mr. Slicker and the Egg Robbers"''. However, Gottfredson treated them as separate characters because each of them had to be introduced to Mickey in their debut comics. Translations and later comics to feature these characters often differ in approach and present the three as the same or interchangeable. "Mortimer Mouse", the only one with an animated counterpart in the classic shorts, is considered the default identity but more often than not he gets drawn in the likeness of Montmorency in modern comics. |
| 995 | * HateSink: ''"Love Trouble"'' and ''"The Egg Collector"'', the latter of which has a rare English translation identifying "the Mortimer" as Montmorency, do ''not'' want you to sympathize with Montmorency. Then there's ''"The Coppers' Catch"'', which features a character named Mortimer Rodent! The character is closer to Montmorency than Mortimer and downright criminal, using a humiliation trick to get Mickey to unknowingly help him whitewash counterfeit money. |
| 996 | * InSeriesNickname: Everyone calls him "Monty". |
| 997 | * ItsAllAboutMe: How Montmorency carries himself. Every relation he has ultimately prioritizes him over the other. The end of ''"Love Trouble"'' features a BreakTheHaughty when he's publically outed at an important party as a fraud. |
| 998 | * MaliciousMisnaming: 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". |
| 999 | * PronouncingMyNameForYou: Montmorency's last name is "Rodent", which he insists is pronounced "Rodawn". |
| 1000 | * RichSuitorPoorSuitor: Unlike Mortimer and Slicker, Montmorency only pretends to be rich as he flaunts with his employer's money. That still puts him in the role of the rich suitor to Mickey as the poor suitor. |
| 1001 | * TheRival: To Mickey for Minnie's affections, although he doesn't know he's [[UnwittingPawn only being used]] by Minnie in an OperationJealousy. He also has an UnknownRival in Millicent Van Gilt-Mouse, who is the real deal of what he wants to be. |
| 1002 | * StageMagician: Montmorency has considerable skill with magic tricks. One of them involved making a rabbit appear on Mickey's head, which the latter considered cheap. |

| 1010 | A former friend of Ellsworth. While the latter has cleaned up his act since the days they associated, Flappity has not. |
| 1011 | ---- |
| 1012 | * BlackMail: Years ago, Ellsworth and Flappity were colleagues managing the Molden Gate Bridge in Mausalito. Then an accident happened where the swing bridge closed while two ships were trying to get through that seemed to be Ellsworth's fault. Flappity urged him to scram, which Ellsworth did, never to hear of the follow-up investigation that found the machinery to be malfunctioning at the time of the accident. Flappity was sacked because on his own he was no good as an employee. When he meets Ellsworth again, however, he plays on Ellsworth's distorted vision on the disaster to convince him he's still wanted and that he himself was sacked for merely being active staff at the time. In return for his silence, Flappity gets Ellsworth to offer him food, a roof, and to go along with whatever Flappity wants, like gambling. |
| 1013 | * FurryConfusion: Flappity could be mistaken for a regular person-animal, but his association with Ellsworth and [[{{flight}} ability to fly]] betray he's on the same could-go-both-ways scale. He appears to be a seagull. |
| 1014 | * TheGamblingAddict: With the possibility of either ProfessionalGambler or FixingTheGame. He forces Ellsworth into playing yuckzee with him "like [they] used to". Ellsworth loses an unclear number of times before the story moves elsewhere, which doesn't seem to surprise him. |
| 1015 | * TheNicknamer: He calls Ellsworth "Ellzy". |

| 1024 | The queen of a hidden county in Africa who seeks to conquer the entire continent. She wishes for Goofy to become her king. She gives up her dreams of conquest and her throne at the end of her first story to start a new life in Mouseton, where she and Goofy maintain an on-off romance until she moves to Paris. |
| 1025 | ---- |
| 1026 | * AffectionateParody: Of [[{{Literature/She}} Ayesha]]. |
| 1027 | * GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Aside from her plans for conquest, her own people are forbidden from leaving unless they are sent out to fulfill a task. |
| 1028 | * LoveRedeems: Her love for Goofy is integral to her abandoning her plans of conquest. |
| 1029 | * LoveTriangle: Zenobia loves Goofy, who loves her back but not the tyrant part of her (which he's for the longest time oblivious too). Then there's her advisor Akar, who respects her but ultimately is more interested in her for the fact marrying her will make him king. He does not like Goofy, obviously. |
| 1030 | * MeaningfulName: Romano Scarpa named and partially modeled her after Septimia Zenobia, a third-century queen of the Palmyrene Empire, known for slapping Rome in the face a few times. |
| 1031 | * MindControl: Zenobia and Akar have access to a syrup with which they can make others obey them. They have servants all over Africa in places where they can feed it to the various countries' leaders when the plan is to be set in motion. |
| 1032 | * RaceLift: Zenobia is of Persian and African descent, which fits her original look in outfit and hair. Starting her second appearance, her hair became blond (brown once or twice) and starting her third appearance it lost its curls. With her fashion sense adapted to Mouseton life, she's stopped being recognizable as her original self. |

| 1060 | * LoonyFan: He sought to KillAndReplace Mickey in his debut comic as the ultimate expression of his devotion, which as per a 2006 comic got its start when his father gave him a copy of ''Mickey Parade'' back when he was a toddler. After that he's tried to pull off other wacky plans, like trying to break up Mickey and Minnie in ''"L'ennemie dans la maison"'' and [[IrritationIsTheSincerestFormOfFlattery following Mickey around to imitate him]] in a 2004 comic. |
| 1061 | * OutOfFocus: Michel's stories came to an end in 2009. |
| 1062 | * ShoutOut: "Michel Souris" is the French equivalent of "Mickey Mouse". It actually was Mickey's own name in France for a short while, either in the first translations or during the absence of ''Le Journal de Mickey'' in 1944-1952. Furthermore, the relationship between Mickey and Michael as co-workers seems to be modeled after that of [[ComicBook/GastonLagaffe Fantasio and Gaston]]. |
| 1063 | * UnwantedAssistance: Mickey usually begs him to keep away and mind his own business, but he ''always'' insists in helping, and it '''always''' ends up in disaster. |

| 1073 | ---- |
| 1074 | * HeelFaceTurn: For all her tricks, Madison was moved by Mickey's and Goofy's reunion. She acknowledged she'd been a heel and ended Goofy's involvement with the King TV Empire. |
| 1075 | * IgnoreTheFanservice: One occurs when she's on a date with Goofy and he talks about the flaws of the 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. |

| 1077 | * 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 feelings. |
| 1078 | * KarmaHoudini: Madison may not have meant (all that) badly and [[LoveMakesYouEvil understandably was afraid to lose Goofy]], but she did a lot of awful things. Once she discovered that Goofy, who was suffering amnesia, had an eye for what 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 found out about Goofy's amnesia and came looking 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. Mickey, badly injured, last showed up during a skydive, where Madison activated his parachute early so he'd lose distance, but it caused Mickey to land against Goofy's head some minutes later, restoring his memory. The touching reunion of the two friends finally made Madison back off, but she only lost Goofy because of it. The money she'd made and the new course of her cable stations and network remained hers while she paid off Goofy with a lifetime subscription to her 200 channel supersystem. |
| 1079 | * ThrillSeeker: Madison's idea of vacation involves extreme sports, but she's also ready for dangerous activities if they're part of a RatingsStunt when she'd otherwise never thought of it. |
