History Main / Dogfaces

* Most secondary, tertiary and background characters in the MickeyMouseComicUniverse.

{{Dogfaces}}, or dognoses, are PettingZooPeople dogs that populate the ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse, MickeyMouseComicUniverse, WesternAnimation/DuckTales, WesternAnimation/GoofTroop, AGoofyMovie, and ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'' and some of the ClassicDisneyShorts. One even shows up in the WesternAnimation/QuackPack episode, "All Hands On Duck." {{Goofy}} and his son, Max are supposed to be {{dogfaces}} too. Similar character designs have been used by other cartoon studios as well, though Disney is largely the TropeCodifier.

'''Physical Characteristics Common to {{Dogfaces}}/Dognoses:'''
* They often have [[FurIsSkin human-skintone colored fur or skin]].
** {{Goofy}} and Max have black fur all over their bodies. Goofy has a flesh colored muzzle and Max has a flesh colored face.
** In MickeyDonaldGoofyTheThreeMusketeers, the Beagle Boys have grey fur all over.

* They [[InexplicablyTailless do not have tails]].
* They often have [[FurryFemaleMane human-like head hair]], and sometimes have human-like facial hair and body hair.
* They usually have black or brown noses.
** But Goofy Jr., Max's prototype, has a pink nose.
* They usually have ears that flop ("rose ears" like those of a greyhound or bulldog) or those that droop ("pendant ears" like those of a bloodhound)
** But [[GoofTroop Pistol]] has erect ears like a Chihuahua, [[AGoofyMovie Roxanne]] has ears that [[FurryEarDissonance look like human ears]], and Goofy Jr. and [[GoofTroop Peg]] are drawn ''[[ArtMajorBiology without any pinnae (ear flaps)]]'' whatsoever.

* They usually range in portrayal from {{Funny Animal}}s to PettingZooPeople and anywhere in between.
** Though [[AGoofyMovie Roxanne]] and, believe it or not, The ''AGoofyMovie'' version of {{Bigfoot}} are Borderline LittleBitBeastly.

Even though they are most prominent in the {{Disney}} universe, {{dogfaces}}/dognoses are not exclusive to {{Disney}}.

!!Tropes that apply to {{Disney}} Dogfaces:

* {{Bigfoot}}: There is a [[{{Dogfaces}} dogface]] version of him in AGoofyMovie.

* CartoonCreature
* DependingOnTheArtist: Sometimes, dognoses are drawn with human-like ears.
* DonRosa

* FurryBaldness: Some older male {{Dogfaces}} have this.

* HumanoidFemaleAnimal: The female {{Dogfaces}} in ''GoofTroop'', ''AGoofyMovie'', and ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'' look a little more humanlike than the male ones in general, to the point where their noses, muzzles, and ears can often be their only non-human feature.
* OlderThanYouThink

* Surprisingly averted with Penelope Poodle from ''MinniesBowToons''; she is an anthropomorphic poodle instead of a dogface.

----

!!Tropes that apply to Non-Disney Dogfaces:

* FurIsSkin: Like the Disney ones, most of them have this.
* OlderThanYouThink

----

!! Non-Disney Examples:

* J. P. Cubish from one LooneyTunes cartoon and ''Daffy Duck's Quackbusters''
* BettyBoop started out as one of these before [[ArtEvolution her dog nose was removed and her floppy ears replaced with hoop earrings.]]
* The very first episode of the Fleischer {{ComicStrip/Popeye}} cartoon featured dogfaces as background characters, though this is an example of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, most other Popeye shorts feature strictly humans.
* '''Mazing Man'': Maze's best friend/HeterosexualLifePartner Denton Fixx is fully human, but has a dog face (though it makes him look like a dogface). (The [[FloatingHeadSyndrome Floating Head]] in the upper left [[http://d1466nnw0ex81e.cloudfront.net/iss/600w/482/104821/645444.jpg here.)]]
* There are a few TexAveryMGMCartoons, especially in the 1950s, that feature dogfaces.

* {{Dogfaces}} even show up in WalterLantz's [[http://stanleystories.blogspot.com/2010/02/killer-not-filler-john-stanleys-woody.html New Funnies comics]] that WoodyWoodpecker also shows up in.
* The original ''WesternAnimation/{{Underdog}}'' (a.k.a. Shoeshine) and Sweet Polly Purebred look like dognoses, unlike the {{Disney}} [[{{Film/Underdog}} version]] of both characters, who are a beagle and a cocker spaniel respectively.
* The dogs in the movie, ''RockAndRule''.

* Of the various FunnyAnimal people in ''SphinxAndTheCursedMummy'', the most common are dog-like people. They bear a strong resemblance to the Disney dogfaces, especially in their "snouts." Given their Egyptian origins, they're probably jackal-people.

* Timburr and its evolutionary family from {{Pokemon}} resemble overly muscular dog-faces.

* Several characters from ''{{Arthur}}'', such as Binky Barnes.

* One of the planes from ''JayJayTheJetPlane'' has a face that looks like that of a dogface.

** Subverted in the DonaldDuck ''cartoons''. If you pay attention, dogfaces populate Donald's world only early on; unlike many of the MickeyMouse toons before, Don's universe was much more likely to shelter actual humans; in fact, QuackPack settled on using them instead of dogfaces because there was already a rich history of duck-human interactions on these ClassicDisneyShorts.

* One of the planes from ''JayJayTheJetPlane'' has a face that looks like that of a dogface.

** And in the MickeyMouse world, "dogs" [[FurryConfusion are ''always'' nonanthropomorphized]], which in turn, actually include Pluto, and as a result, many people are still determining what animal {{Goofy}} actually is.

* Bosko the Talk-Ink Kid was eventually redesigned into one of these to mask that he was originally an extreme racist charicature of a black person.

* ExecutiveMeddling: CarlBarks loved to draw humans, and so he wanted to place them in his DonaldDuck stories, but the higher ups demanded Dogfaces to be used all the time. He snuck some humans here and there, before completely sending his bosses' wishes to screw themselves with his classic story ''Dangerous Disguise'', in which Donald and his nephews are the only ducks in a world otherwise populated exclusively by humans. He got the warning of his life for that one, and was forbidden from using humans ever again. His chief editor declared that it simply looked bad, and that it "took the ducks out of their own world".
