It’s time to induct a cartoon character into the ANNOYING CARTOON SIDEKICK HALL OF FAME, a place where bad cartoon characters go to die. Today’s inductee: Webigail Vanderquack (also known as “Webby”) from DuckTales.

Every time I see Webby on this classic cartoon, all we think of is some Disney Afternoon executive going, “Give Huey, Dewey & Louie a sister.”

And then the show creator going, “Uh, they’ve never had a sister the entire time people have known them.”

And then that executive saying, “Well, make up some cockamamie story about her being the granddaughter of the housekeeper, so he hangs around a lot. That’s it. I like it. Money money money money money.”

And sure enough, that was Webby’s reason of being on DuckTales (More like SUCKTales! Am I right? Hi-5!) She was the granddaughter of  Mrs. Beakley and therefore always wanted to be a part of Huey, Dewey & Louie’s adventures. And that was really her point of being on DuckTales.

That, and because the show needed girls.

TALKBACK: What are your thoughts on Webby from DuckTales? And who do you think should be inducted into the Annoying Cartoon Sidekick Hall of Fame next?
