Li'l Sneezer is also shown to be one of the few "pets" capable of enduring Elmyra's well-intentioned zeal, but in these cases it is Elmyra who ends up the victim because of Sneezer's allergies. In contrast to her other pets, Byron seems to feel a grudging love for his owner despite her flaws, particularly proven in the ending to the " A Cat's Eye View" episode segment "Little Dog Lost". One of the animals in her vast menagerie is Byron Basset, a near-gelatinous basset hound who draws much of his humor from his odd appearance. Elmyra's pets are constantly escaping in terror.
The place is fairly average except for the piles of discarded pet toys littering the yard and the several abandoned doghouses and kitty baskets. Here a girl adopts Sylvester Pussycat and unwittingly abuses him with her childish antics, to the point that he decides he would rather take his chances with a bulldog who had been tormenting him earlier in the picture.Įlmyra lives in a nice, suburban home with her parents, older sister and two younger brothers.
She behaves quite a bit like Little Suzie, a child from a fairly obscure 1955 Freleng short called "A Kiddie's Kitty". Elmyra strongly resembles a younger version of the feminized Elmer Fudd from the 1946 cartoon "The Big Snooze", in which Elmer's peaceful retirement dream became a nightmare where he was transformed into a shapely female by Bugs Bunny. According to creator, Tom Ruegger, she also got her first name from his next door neighbor in Northridge, CA an elderly lady named Elmyra Lamb. She also serves as the school nurse.Įlmyra Duff is based superficially on her name derivative and mentor, Elmer Fudd "Elmyra" being a female form of "Elmer" and her last name, "Duff," as "Fudd" pronounced backwards. She attends Acme Looniversity and lives in Acme Acres. Elmyra is a young, redheaded female human, who wears a white pleated skirt, a light blue blouse with white collar and frills, a light blue bowed ribbon in her hair that has an gerbil's skull in the middle, black strapped Mary Jane shoes and white socks.
