Trivia[]

  • Quacker was later adapted into the Hanna-Barbera character Yakky Doodle.
  • His voice is a ''duck voice'' similar to Disney's Donald Duck.
  • In The Tom and Jerry Show (1975) episode "The Lost Duckling", his looks are similar, except that unlike other appearances he speaks with a normal voice instead of a "duck voice".
  • That's My Mommy was the only cartoon where Jerry was his enemy (actually, Quacker thought that Jerry was his enemy while in fact he was trying to save him from Tom).
  • He attempted suicide twice: The first was in Downhearted Duckling and in That's My Mommy though Tom intervened.
  • Quacker is superstitious in The Tom and Jerry Show (2014) and Tom and Jerry in New York.
  • He appears in Tom and Jerry in War of the Whiskers under the name "Duckling" and one of the five all-round fighters alongside Tyke, Jerry, Robot Cat and Tuffy, he uses a flight attack with the jump button and punch button for he is all-round and a bit skillful. Unlocked after Defeating Robot Cat as Tuffy. Quacker's punches are similar to Tyke's and is very easy to defeat. in the PS2 version of War of the Whiskers, he and Tuffy's emotions are mixed up, but this is corrected in the Xbox and GameCube versions.
