Melissa Duck

adult Melissa Duck with Daffy Duck.

Melissa Duck is a character featured on the animated television series, Baby Looney Tunes voiced by Janyse Jaud.

Melissa is a comedian and enjoys making her friends laugh. However, her humor sometimes gets her in trouble when she crosses the line.

Many fans suspect that Melissa was invented for Baby Looney Tunes much in the same manner the character of Skeeter was invented for Muppet Babies — a result of the creators wanting more female characters. This, however, is not true. Melissa actually appeared in two Looney Tunes shorts as Daffy Duck's girlfriend — namely Chuck Jones' The Scarlet Pumpernickel (1950) and Robert McKimson's Muscle Tussle (1953). In these two cartoons, Melissa is an adult.

Melissa was apparently the inspiration for the Shirley the Loon character on Tiny Toon Adventures. They are similar-looking female waterfowls with a romantic interest in the Daffy Duck/Plucky Duck character.

Females characters are rare in Looney Tunes. Examples such as Melissa Duck, Petunia Pig and Tasmanian She Devil have all had maybe two appearances and then disappeared never to be heard from again.
