CAST The title character (voiced by Jim J. Bullock ) is a Duck who works as a Nurse . His boyfriend, Openly Gator (voice by Kevin Michael Richardson ), is shy and insecure. Their friends throughout the series are Bi-Polar Bear (voice by '' Ren & Stimpy '' actor Billy West ) and the urbane Oscar Wildcat (veteran voice actor Maurice LaMarche ). Recurring supporting characters include Queer Duck's in-denial mother (played by Estelle Harris , George's mother on '' Seinfeld '') and the group's nemesis, Dr. Laura Schlessinger (played by prolific voice actress Tress MacNeille ). The show was created and written by Mike Reiss , executive producer of network cartoons '' The Simpsons '' and '' The Critic ''. The animation was directed and designed by Xeth Feinberg . RECURRING THEMES Although each four-minute episode stands by itself rather than being part of a larger narrative, several themes and events occur through the 20-episode series. Queer Duck reveals his homosexuality to his parents in the first episode. In the course of the series, Queer Duck and Openly Gator get married, and it's revealed that Queer Duck has a Lesbian sister. Queer Duck also meets Santa Claus and attends Mardi Gras . Much like '' The Critic '', ''Queer Duck'' features numerous cameo appearances by celebrities, whose voices are impersonated by the cast. In addition to Dr. Laura, the ''Queer Duck'' gang encounter Bob Hope , Jack Nicholson , Cary Grant , and in particular Barbra Streisand , with whom Queer Duck is obsessed. TRIVIA
