Daisy Duck in her familiar name and design first appeared in ''[[Mr. Duck Steps Out]]'' (June 7, 1940). The short was directed by [[Jack King (animator)|Jack King]] and scripted by [[Carl Barks]]. There Donald visits the house of his new romantic interest for their first known date. At first, Daisy acts shy and has her back turned to her visitor. But Donald soon notices her tail-feathers taking the form of a hand and signaling for him to come closer. But their time alone is soon interrupted by [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie]] who have followed their uncle and clearly compete with him for the attention of Daisy. Uncle and nephews take turns dancing the [[jitterbug]] with her while trying to get rid of each other. In their final effort, the three younger Ducks feed their uncle maize (corn) in the process of becoming [[popcorn]]. The process is completed within Donald himself who continues to move spastically around the house while maintaining the appearance of dancing. The short ends with an impressed Daisy showering her new boyfriend with kisses. Like her precursor, she was initially voiced by Clarence Nash, but later had a more ladylike voice.

The short stands out among other Donald shorts of the period for its use of modern music and surreal situations throughout.
