Was Goofy a good or shitty father?
He was clumsy. That was his only negative attribute. Other than that, he was a stellar father.
Max could be a shitty son, though.

yes, shitty son, almost like his dad didn't raise him right

Being a single father is hard, and plenty of parents who did everything right end up with terrible children. Nurture only goes so far, and you can't be with them 24 hours a day.
he did his best with what he had and what he could. he was a single father (heavily implied widowed), and was providing max with as much of a stable environment as possible. that doesn't mean he was perfect though, and no parent ever can be. like a lot of parents, he made decisions for what he thought was in the best interests of his child without ever actually consulting his kid and taking max's feelings into account regarding his own decision making. especially when children are of a teenage/young adult age where independent decision making is crucial to not only the child's development into an adult but forging a lasting respectful bond between adult child and parent. in short: goofy could be selfish, overbearing and didn't want his son to grow up. but he was never malevolent in his intentions and always tried to do good by his son.
i don't think goofy was a shitty father, but i do think he was one of the more complex and realistically written father figures in animation in the past 30ish years.
It's been a while since I saw the movies, but from what I remember, he seemed like a pretty caring father who tried his best. The conflict appeared to be mostly about Max going through that teenage rebellion phase where people turn into dicks for a couple of years before they get over it and grow up. I'm not sure if even perfect parents could prevent that from happening, it's just something young people go through.

He fucked up a lot and made shit decisions, but he always strived to be the best Dad he could and support his son which is more than I can say for a depressing amount of parents out there.

Pete was a better father

Also, Max is like the posterchild of the 90's totally radical anti authority stereotypes.

goofy's flaw during a goofy movie was that he loved his son a bit too much and couldn't stand the thought that the childhood bonding he loved doing so much was slipping away from him as his son became more independent.

I'm okay with that...
Wait

This is true, though I feel part of it was that he stopped being his son's hero (or felt like that anyway) and everyone else we see treats him like - for lack of a better word - a goof ball.
The one person in his life who looked up to him, doesn't anymore.
So basically what you said, but it's worse, because he doesn't really have a bunch of guys to call over to play pool with. With everyone else, he's just Goofy.

>heavily implied widowed
Considering how clumsy Goofy is, he probably manslaughtered his wife.

I've been looking everywhere for the full comic, but I can only find, like, one page.

The first Dolan comic I see in years and it's not even funny. I swear, these things used to make me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe.

All those years as George Geef finally got to him.

Bur he has Mickey and Donald, why not call them up?
>>81259293
youre gonna make me cry
>>81265878
He has friends, yeah.
But there's a difference between people you can rely on, and people who actively look up to you.
His son used to think he was the best thing ever, and I doubt Mickey or Donald ever treated him like he's amazing, beyond being a really good friend.
He was a goofy father.

He was a goofy father
Goofy was a fine dad, Max was just a bit corrupted by a variety of outside things, namely the fact that teenagers have a natural tendency to be kinda evil (due to hormones and natural teenage psychological changes), and caring more about trying to be cool than other people's feelings.
Goofy made a mistakes too, since some of the things he wanted to do on the trip were more of something little kids would want to do, like that possum playhouse thing. However, most of the conflict in A Goofy Movie was caused by Max and his actions.
That doesn't make Max a shitty person, though. Yeah, he's a little selfish and a little bit of a dick, and he thinks with his schlong sometimes (all of his goals end result was to try to impress Roxanne), and he is too young to know that your schlong will always betray you. He is just making the kinds of mistakes everyone makes at his age, and should be forgiven since he seemed to honestly feel bad and regret hurting his father's feelings.
His son grew up into a well-adjusted productive member of society
That's the best that any father can ask for
PJ's probably a neckbeard shut in or a criminal
