Clara Cluck

Clara Cluck is a fictional character made by The Walt Disney Company in 1934 when she debuted in the Mickey Mouse cartoon The Orphan's Benefit. Since then she has appeared as a semi regular character in the Mickey Mouse cartoons. In the comic books she is shown in The Donald Duck/Scrooge McDuck Universe as Daisy Duck's best friend. She had some appearences in Mickey Mouse Works and House of Mouse.

Clara is a member of Mickey's original farmyard gang and has been around since the beginning of his career, though her visible presence has been even less than that of Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar. It is possible that Clara Cluck played the title role in The Wise Little Hen (June 9, 1934), as both characters were voiced by the same person, Florence Gill. And there is more than just a passing physical resemblance. However, by the time she made her big debut in the first "Orphan's Benefit" she had changed into an oversized operatic diva; a role that she would continue right up to the end. Her last major appearance was as one of the musicians in "Symphony Hour." One curious thing though; she is seen in the rehearsal scenes at the beginning but not in the performance scenes at the end.
