Phooey Duck is a supernaturally-created anthropomorphic duckling.

Description

Brought into existence by a freak phenomenon when super-charged lightning struck Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, Phooey Duck is functionally a "fourth triplet", named for his first words. Identical to any one of the original trio, Phooey shares their personality, and also whatever knowledge they possess at the time of his materializing — for rather than existing perennially, he periodically "hiccups" into existence periodically in the vicinity of his "brothers", and never lingers for more than a minute. On several occasions, Phooey has helped his brothers save the day with quick thinking. Phooey's existence is not well-known, for obvious enough reasons.

Behind the scenes

Phooey first appeared in 1959 in the story Mastering the Matterhorn in a one-panel cameo; indeed, the nature of Phooey is originally an artist's mistake, referring to any time an artist accidentally draws four nephews instead of three in a panel. After what may be the first intentional appearance by Phooey in Magical Mix-Up, an in-universe backstory was created for him in the 1999 story Much Ado About Phooey. His yellow outfit resembles that worn by Louie in some early cartoon appearances.
