Goofy returned to his traditional personality in "Mickey Mouse Works" and appeared as a head waiter in "House of Mouse" (2001 to 2004). Goofy's son Max also appeared in "House of Mouse" as the nightclub's valet, so that Goofy juggled not only his conventional antics but also the father-role displayed in "Goof Troop" and its aforementioned related media. In both "Mickey Mouse Works" and "House of Mouse", Goofy also seemed to have a crush on Clarabelle Cow, as he asks her on a date in the "House of Mouse" episode "Super Goof" and is stalked by the bovine in the Mickey Mouse Works cartoon "How To Be a Spy". Though Clarabelle was noted as Horace Horsecollar's fiancé in early decades, comics from the 1960s and 1970s and in later cartoons like the aforementioned "House of Mouse" and "Mickey Mouse Works", as well as "", imply some mutual affections between Goofy and Clarabelle; perhaps as an attempt for Disney to give Goofy a more mainstream girlfriend to match his two male co-stars.
