'''Clara Cluck''' debuted in 1934 in the Mickey Mouse cartoon ''[[Orphan's Benefit]]''. Since then she has appeared as a semi-regular character in the Mickey Mouse cartoons. In the comic books she is shown in [[Duck universe]] as [[Daisy Duck]]'s best friend. Clara has been a member of Mickey's original farmyard gang since the beginning of his career, although she is seen less often than [[Clarabelle Cow]] and [[Horace Horsecollar]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Rovin |first1=Jeff |title=The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Cartoon Animals |date=1991 |publisher=Prentice Hall Press |isbn=0-13-275561-0 |access-date=April 8, 2020 |url=https://archive.org/details/illustratedencyc00rovi |url-access=registration |pages=[https://archive.org/details/illustratedencyc00rovi/page/31 31]-32}}</ref> She originally was voiced by [[Florence Gill]] and later by [[Russi Taylor]] and [[Kaitlyn Robrock]].<ref>{{cite podcast |url= https://www.dizneycoasttocoast.com/episodes|title=Dizney Coast to Coast - The Unofficial Disney Fan Podcast (The Voice of Minnie Mouse: An Interview with Kaitlyn Robrock) |website=Dizney Coast to Coast |publisher= DePodcast Network|host=Jeff DePaoli |date=February 16, 2022 |time=13:14|access-date=February 17, 2022}}</ref>

Clara's singing is meant to be a caricature of the [[Bel canto]] style of opera singing popular at the time of her appearance. Some of her arias are clearly modelled on those of ''[[Tosca]]''. Her last major appearance was as one of the musicians in ''[[Symphony Hour]]''. Curiously, although she is seen in the rehearsal scenes at the beginning, she is not seen in the performance scenes at the end.

In Disney comics she has been shown to date [[Gus Goose]] on very few occasions, and in the initial appearance of [[Panchito Pistoles]] she was the object of his affections.

As with other [[Walt Disney Animation Studios|Disney]] characters, she was given small cameos in ''[[Mickey's Christmas Carol]]'' (1983), ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]'' (1988), and ''[[Once Upon a Studio]]'' (2023).<ref>{{cite web |last1=Reif |first1=Alex |title=Disney's "Once Upon a Studio" – List of Characters in Order of Appearance |url=https://www.laughingplace.com/w/disney-entertainment/disneys-once-upon-a-studio-list-of-characters-in-order-of-appearance/ |website=Laughing Place |date=October 16, 2023}}</ref>

In television, she had some appearances in ''[[Mickey Mouse Works]]'' (1999), where she is presented as [[Daisy Duck]]'s neighbor. She appeared occasionally in ''[[House of Mouse]]'' (2001). In one episode of that series, "Double Date Don", she fell in love with Donald Duck and aggressively pursued him by puckering her lips in front of him, forcing him to dance with her, wearing dresses and posing provocatively to lure him in. At one point she even grabs Donald and forcibly, yet passionately, kisses him full on the lips. She almost tricked Donald into marrying her but Daisy stopped the wedding in time. She also had appeared to put Minnie Mouse in jail for driving her car through Daisy's house to deliver an apple pie of hers. She also appeared as a recurring character in the series ''[[Mickey and the Roadster Racers]]'' (2017), where she is the mother of two chicks named Cleo and Clifford.

Clara made a [[cameo appearance]] in the [[Timeless River]] world of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' with many other Disney characters like Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar as one of the world's citizens, being one of the rare media in which the character is seen speaking (her dialogue being seen in [[speech balloon]]s).

She also makes an appearance in the ''Mickey's Boo to You Parade'' and for rare meet and greets at [[Walt Disney World]]'s [[Magic Kingdom]].
