Peg and Pistol Pete

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peg Pete and Pistol Pete are fictional characters from the Disney animated television series Goof Troop. Peg is the wife of that show's version of Pete and Pistol is their rascally young daughter. Strangely, neither Peg or Pistol are seen or even mentioned in "A Goofy Movie" and "An Extremely Goofy Movie".

It is assumed by some fans that Peg divorced Pete and took Pistol with her.

[edit] Peg Pete

Apparently Peg, Pete and Goofy all met while in High School. Peg was a cheerleader on the school's pep squad along with Goofy, when she met the football all-star, Pete. Peg and Pete eventually married, and Goofy moved out of Spoonerville. Years later, Peg is a real estate agent with her own agency: "Peg 'O My Heart Realty," and upon discovering Goofy, now a single dad, was returning to Spoonerville, she convinced him to move into the house next door to her own (much to Pete's chagrin). Peg is extremely independent and strong willed (one would have to be - married to Pete). She also seems to be quite strong physically. While Pete is constantly conniving and only pretending to be Goofy's friend (for selfish and devious reasons), Peg and Goofy's friendship is genuine. Pete may rule the household with an iron fist, but she rules Pete (though he likes to believe otherwise). One can tell by Peg's not-so-subtle intonations toward Pete that she's had years of experience dealing with him (she's nobody's fool). She's aptly able to keep him in line, at least when she's around. There are some minor innotations in the series that Peg may have slight romantic feelings toward Goofy.

In Italian Disney comics animator Romano Scarpa created an entirely different version of Pete's tough-as-nails life partner named Trudy, who not only shared his shape and demeanor, but also his penchant for crime (something Peg would never do). Trudy looks much like a female version of Pete, akin to the aspects of Pete's mother and twin brother who have appeared in American comics (i.e., "Walt Disney's Comics and Stories" #336 - 338 in the Mickey Mouse serial "River Pirates" - Sep. - Nov. 1968). One continuity possibility is that Trudy is actually Pete's former girlfriend, prior to marrying Peg.

[edit] Pistol Pete

Pistol is Peg and Pete's youngest child, and she is exceptionally precocious, hyperactive and talkative. She is remarkably intelligent for her pint-sized age. Pistol is also P.J.'s little nightmare. Like most younger siblings, Pistol is a pest as far as P.J. is concerned, and poor P.J. is forced, as one of his household chores, to actually play with her. However, P.J. really does love his little sister, and is always looking out for her best interests. She once had a "real" imaginary 'gal-pal' friend named Inkie who came from the planet Zarblat. Max and P.J. convinced Pistol to give her up.
