  • Shirley "the Loon" McLoon is a cartoon character from the Warner Bros. animated television series Tiny Toon Adventures. She is one of the main characters on the show. Shirley is voiced by Gail Matthius. Shirley is a young, white female waterfowl with a pink, long-sleeved shirt and large bowed ribbon in her hair. She attends Acme Looniversity and lives in Acme Acres. Shirley is one of the few characters of the show not associated with an on-screen 'mentor' Looney Tunes character, but is likely heavily inspired by Melissa Duck. Her intelligence is somewhat obscured by a thick Valley girl accent and obsession with superficial New Age paraphernalia. Her name is derived from fellow New Age aficionado Shirley MacLaine, while the latter part of the name is an obvious pun. More often than not, characters refer to Shirley as "Shirley the Loon" rather than "Shirley McLoon." Shirley is often pursued romantically by Plucky Duck and Fowlmouth; there's indication she is more in favor of Plucky, however sees Fowlmouth as more of a little brother persona and best friend. Ironically, Plucky and Fowlmouth did not appear together in her particular episodes. When not meditating (and sometimes levitating while chanting, "Ohm what a loon I am... Ohm what a loon I am...") or fortune-telling, Shirley hangs out with her Acme Looniversity classmates Babs Bunny and Fifi Le Fume.

When not meditating or fortune-telling, Shirley hangs out with her Acme Looniversity classmates Babs Bunny and Fifi Le Fume. In one episode, while attending a high school dance, a bowl of punch is dumped onto Shirley's head. The sight of the red punch on her hands causes her to temporarily go insane. She then proceeds to destroy the school's gym in a telekinetic fit, similar to Carrie, after being doused with pig's blood. Shirley is a keen ballerina who has to face prejudice when attending an upmarket ballet school otherwise attended exclusively by Perfecto Prep swans. Jealous at her superior dance skills, they mock her accent and try to sabotage her performance at their recital, but are soon thwarted by Shirley's nimble moves and a behind-the-scenes Babs, staging a sabotage of her own. Shirley did not have an end tag. Shirley is voiced by Saturday Night Live alumna Gail Matthius, whose SNL character Vicky the Valley Girl loosely inspired Shirley. In the Japanese dub, Shirley is voiced by Mika Kanai.
