PB&J Otter - Shirley Duck

A worried Shirley Duck in "Where Oh Where is Flick?"

Shirley Duck is Flick Duck's mother. As his sole guardian, she often has a hard time keeping Flick's rambunctious personality in line. As with most other adults, Flick tends to try to maintain an air of innocent sweetness when around his mom. Having raised him, however, she knows him better than most and can be firm with him when necessary.

The reason why Shirley Duck is a single parent is never stated on the series, though the rough edges in Flick's personality may owe somewhat to the lack of any male role model figure in his life, other than Mallard Man. Flick has never mentioned his dad, meaning Shirley's husband could be deceased, in the military, or they divorced. Flick might also be adopted, or maybe the reason Shirley's husband isn't seen or mentioned is so Flick could have a rude personality due to no male role model.

Shirley Duck dotes on her son and he refers to her as "Mommy." In "Where Oh Where is Flick?" she was beside herself when Flick wandered off without telling her where he was going. She designed Flick's Mallard Man Halloween costume in "A Hoohaw Halloween."

She is sort of a pushover with Flick, like in the episode Picture Perfect when she couldn't find Flick, she told Opal "I'm going to be very firm." And then told Flick "If you come home I'll give you a cookie." That doesn't sound very firm at all. She also grounded Flick in two episodes --The Tell-Tale Candy Wrapper and The Duck Who Cried Wolf. In The Duck Who Cried Wolf, she told Flick, "No cherry pie for a week!". And Flick said, "What about Boston Cream?" Shirley replied with "Well, Boston Cream, okay. But no cherry". In The Tell-Tale Candy Wrapper, at the end of the episode, Shirley grounded Flick for eating the Otter kids' favorite candy. However, this was not heard. But Pinch Raccoon revealed to Peanut, Jelly, and Baby Butter that Shirley Duck punished Flick. And Flick had to stay in his room for a whole hour. He also had to pay for the candy.

Appearence[]

Shirley Duck is a white duck like her son, Flick, except she is taller than him. She has blonde hair and wears a turquoise blue colllar on her neck. She wears a half turquoise blue apron and flip flops.

AFN Description[]

The one person who is clueless about Flick's escapades is his fondly over-indulgent mother, Shirley. She gives her son anything he wants and then can't understand why he is so demanding. To Shirley's loving eye, Flick is just too cute and special for words. Whatever trials and tribulations he may put her through, Flick can always convince his mother that it really wasn't his fault.
