Melissa Duck

Melissa Duck is an animated cartoon character in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series.

Background[]

She is a blonde-haired yellow lady duck who is featured as Daffy Duck's girlfriend in several cartoon shorts. "The Scarlet Pumpernickel" was the first to refer to her by name. Melissa was featured as yellow with red lipstick on her beak and teal-green eyes in "The Super Snooper", and white with red lipstick on her beak again and long eyelashes in "Muscle Tussle". She later appeared in "The Duxorcist" as a possessed client of Daffy's exorcism business.

Melissa Duck was the inspiration for the character Shirley the Loon in Tiny Toon Adventures. She appears in a picture in the episode "Gang Busters".

Melissa Duck stars in Baby Looney Tunes as a comedian who enjoys making her friends laugh, even though her humor sometimes causes her trouble.

The 2011 animated series The Looney Tunes Show introduces a similarly designed character named Tina Russo.

In 2021, Melissa Duck reappeared as a playable character called "Fair Lady Melissa" in the mobile game Looney Tunes World of Mayhem. Other variants include "Maid Melissa", "Possessed Melissa", and "Shapeshifter Melissa".
