Miss Prissy
Miss Prissy is a fictional character in Warner Bros. cartoons. She is typically described as an old spinster hen, thinner than the other hens in the chicken coop, wearing a blue bonnet and wire-rimmed glasses. She is often mocked by the other hens, who describe her as "old square britches". History Miss Prissy's first appearance was in the 1950 short ''An Egg Scramble'', the only cartoon featuring her and Porky Pig together, in which the other hens are making fun of the fact that she cannot lay an egg, because she thinks it's embarrassing. Her next appearances are centered on Foghorn Leghorn. In ''Lovelorn Leghorn'' (1951), she is set on finding a husband, and in ''Of Rice and Hen'' (1953), she is looking to have children. However, in ''Little Boy Boo'' (1954) she is depicted as a widow with a child, Egghead Jr., and with a much more extensive vocabulary in long sounding words other than her trademark "yeeesss." ''A Broken Leghorn'' (1959) and ''Strangled Eggs'' (1961) feature H ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
