Miss Prissy is a fictional character in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series. She is typically described as an old spinster hen, thinner than the other hens in the chicken coop, wearing a blue bonnet and wire-rimmed glasses. Though sometimes quite loquacious, she is known for getting through whole cartoons uttering no more words than, "Yeees!" This affectation is based on Martha Harrison, a monosyllabic character portrayed by actress Pert Kelton on Milton Berle's radio show. Prissy is often mocked by the other hens, who describe her as "old square britches".
