Cause its significantly easier to read for 99% of the population, including myself. If I have to use something like dark mode on a screen for more than a 15-20 minutes I get a blinding migraine.
Nah. It says he's a dog. Pete's species has always been hard to discern (and, of course, he's technically just a Toon that happens to resemble an anthropomorphic animal) but he's traditionally a cat (fittingly, for someone whose arch-enemy is a mouse), and PJ bears a strong enough resemblance I assume he would also be one. Indeed, the series Goof Troop even kinda hung a subtle lampshade on this fact, by having the Goof family of anthropomorphic dogs with a non-anthro pet cat, and the Pete family of anthro cats having a non-anthro pet dog.
Yeah, that guy is probably Bradley Uppercrust III., the asshole from *An extremly Goofy Movie*
Apparently, he did something that caused him to go to get sentenced to jail for *seventeen years* (probably more and he simply broke out of prison /got sprung by ND for shits and giggles) as well as forced Max to drop out of college and leave Spoonervile in a hurry alongside his dad.
So Bradley is the villain that won Goof Troop or at least its associated movies, since the first movie didn´t have an actual villain...*aside* from Petes questionable parenting advice, that is.

It would have been if I had been suggesting that. I am well aware most users around here stick to the default.
Sorry if I'm a little strident, while I don't do a lot of UI work, I did spend a year or two making sites more accessible to the visually impaired. Left an impression. Luckily SV's site is heads and shoulders above most dark themed sites out there due to two reasons.
They have a light mode
Their dark mode text color is a nice gray instead of a pure white. That reduces the eyestrain some.

I mean Pete's general advise was awful, but Goofy was never going to permanently listen to most of that. The most important thing he ended up doing was saying "btw Goofy your son is very likely fucking with you, double check your map," which... he was. So Pete was right.

Money-making, misdirection, advancement of evil goals, and it turns a singular, humorous, one-off, off-the-wall moment from an earlier turn into both a witty callback and foreshadowing. This is basically the perfect vote, and I'd probably have voted for it even if my earlier joke vote hadn't got shot down.

Off-Panel Action
Art closed up shop for the evening pretty happy with himself. It wasn't exactly a busy day, but then again, what days were busy? Comic books weren't exactly in the mainstream currently, and in the digital age especially, comic stores were a dying breed these days. Still, Art loved comics, and any day he got to talk to fellow comics fans was a good day for him. But this day was especially good for him, because he had just gotten his hands some truly rare comics.
You see, back in the 90's, a major corporation decided that they needed to get "hip" with the kids, and decided that the best way to do that was through comic books. And so they hired some up-and-coming writers and artists in order to form Quest Comix!
Yes, Comix with an X. Because it was the 90's.
Quest Comix was to produce several comics that the corporation with then provide tie-in merchandise for, which would, in turn, create more demand for the comics, resulting in an infinite loop of profits. However, while the first issues were being developed, the higher-up were allegedly horrified by Quest Comix's ideas, which featured a focus on supervillains instead of heroes. A hurricane of behind-the-scenes drama and legal actions later, Quest Comix became an independent comics publisher and the corporation erased all ties to the whole thing (to the point that there is still speculation as to who the corporation was).
However, this also left Quest Comix severely underfunded, and they were only able to afford a limited release of the few #1s they had finished. Not able to generate interest to continue the books, Quest Comix was forced to close their door, never to make another comic again. The few comics that did get released have since become collector's items, with issues going for hundreds online.
And Art just got the whole set for dirt cheap!
The dude who sold them to him seemed to really wanted them gone. He was practically begging Art to take them off his hands. Of course, Art was going to take his offer regardless of price. To be honest, he always wanted to read the comics for himself. They were probably just your generic 90's comics, but they were so rare that he just had to take a look. And so, now that the shop was closed, Art opened up Mistress Khan #1.
And then green smoke emerged from the comic and everything went black.
-----
The comic store soon became overflowing with the green smoke, which knocked out any poor soul who inhaled it (which was thankfully just Art). Then, as suddenly as it appeared, it dissipated, leaving the scene almost untouched. The only signs of it's existence were Art's unconscious body...
And the strange woman who had appeared in the shop. Her outfit was rather odd to your average onlooker, a strange mix of a purple gown and golden armor. The giant headpiece shaped like a raven looked especially bizarre. To those that were familiar with Quest Comix, though, there was no mistaking her; Mistress Khan was in the real world.
Khan glanced at her surrounding, then let out a cruel laugh. "Finally! After all these years, I'm free!," she exclaimed. "No more having to fight the same fight over and over! Now to take over this world!"
She did not care that there was no one to villainously gloat to; she had been waiting for this moment for over two decades. While she was preparing to let out another laugh, she spotted a newspaper that was left on the counter. More specifically, she saw it's headline:
Supers See Massive Resurgence in Anticipation of SRA Repeal
"So there are superheroes in this world too, huh?," Khan said, narrating to herself. "Well, then; let's give them some opposition, shall we?" With that, she turn toward the other Quest Comix and began to work her magic to free her fellow villains.
For those that wondering what the heck this is referencing (so, all of you), Mistress Khan comes from the VR attraction "Ride the Comix" at DisneyQuest, where she and several other Rob Lienfeld-esque villains fought guests because they got sick of fighting superheroes. (The other villains, if your curious, were Tzu-an, Zeebub, Ms. Skinner, Captain Bonz, and The Toymaker. I've also heard that there was a seventh villain, but I haven't seen any proof of their existence, so I doubt that.) Haven't heard of it? I don't blame you. Information on this attraction is rare and the only footage I can find of it that isn't just promotional material are some clips on Vimeo.
I'm not even fully sure why I wrote this. The only interesting thing about these villains are a) their obscurity and b) that they were originally suppose to be reimagined classic Disney villain, but then Roy E. Disney saw the designs and was like, "Aw Hell Naw!," and had them changed to OCs. Hell, they're practically blank slates for the purposes of this Quest. Maybe I just wanted to share some obscure Disney knowledge with you all.

Holy shit, this is just distaff Sabertooth from Marvel. They didn't even bother to disguise it, it's almost a one-to-one copy of Sabertooth as a woman.
Edit: No, really. For comparison:
Also, the fact that his mask has holes specifically so his sideburns can pop out is indescribably stupid.
I mean Pete's general advise was awful, but Goofy was never going to permanently listen to most of that. The most important thing he ended up doing was saying "btw Goofy your son is very likely fucking with you, double check your map," which... he was. So Pete was right.
Not saying that Pete didnt have a specific point there, Just that in General His Parenting advice was sorely Packung because built on opression and punishment
