Pete Junior, (better known by his abbreviated name, P.J. for short), is a fictional character created by The Walt Disney Company. As his full name suggests, he is the son of the company's oldest recurring character, Pete.
The character was first seen in the 1942 cartoon short Bellboy Donald. Here, he is the bratty offspring of Pete, who portrays a surprisingly well-mannered senator who is staying at the hotel where Donald Duck works as a bellhop. Throughout the short, P.J. continually harasses Donald, who cannot fight back because of the hotel's policy that "the guest is always right". Donald exacts his revenge in the end, though, as he is able to spank the kid shortly following being fired. In this cartoon, P.J. was voiced by Donald's voice actor, Clarence Nash.
Like Goofy Jr. in the cartoons where Goofy played the role of George Geef, P.J. went through an immense change in physical appearance for Goof Troop, as well as personality. No longer the brat depicted in the aforementioned Donald short (this role having gone to his little sister, Pistol), P.J. became chubby, shy, and a loyal friend to Max (as Goofy Jr. had been renamed). This version of P.J. would later show up alongside Max in Goof Troop's two movie spin-offs, A Goofy Movie and An Extremely Goofy Movie. P.J. was basically the mirror opposite of his father personality wise, as Pete would attempt to constantly force him to do "manly" type activities, which P.J. was no fan of.
