Doris Deer

Doris Deer is a star reporter for the Weekly World Horsefeather, a newspaper company in Possum City, and Pith Possum's girlfriend. She is always the damsel-in-distress of The Shnookums and Meat Funny Cartoon Show, and she is always being captured and facing danger with some of Pith Possum's greatest enemies, such as Dr. Paul Bunion and Ralph Bear and Al Dog. She is voiced by April Winchell.

Biography
No one knows for sure why Doris moved into Possum City, but it is possible that she came from a wealthy family, and that she wanted to make her parents proud, even if they were not seen nor heard of on the show. But regardless of her missing backstory, Doris is usually found working in her office, which is using her own wooden typewriter to come up with headlines in slow motion. When Mr. Kane calls Doris to get a scoop about an event taking place, she goes out into the community to search for her top story. Sometimes, she is met up with Peter Possum, who has a never-ending crush on her.

Unfortunately Doris usually finds hersefl in trouble, as she is taken to a villain's lair, like Dr. Paul Bunion's fortress for example. Before she faces certain death, Pith jumps in the nick of time and saves her, and Doris usually kisses him as a way of love and appreciation.

However, whenever Peter and Doris work at the Weekly World Horsefeather, Peter constantly begs for Doris to go out on a date with him, to which she says, "No." every time, much to Peter's dismay. However, on one occasion, Peter did managed to go out on a date with Doris, where they were having at the Gilded Turnip, an elegant restaurant. After Peter keeps slipping away from dinner to fight crime as Pith Possum one time too many, Doris angrily writes him a note (offscreen) and leaves the Gilded Turnip in frustration, much to Peter's sadness when he returned for the third time.

Trivia
Although she had been inspired by Lois Lane from Superman, animation critics argued that the creators of "Shnookums and Meat" plagiarized her design of Hello Nurse from Animaniacs.

Like most snobbish female cartoon characters from Disney and beyond, Doris is a bit similar to Prudence and Elephant Matriarch, who both have no regards for Cinderella (character) and Dumbo (character).
