The resident network censor who sometimes objects to whatever antics the rest of the cast gets up to. Voiced by Nora Dunn.

* [[Designated Villain]]: She's pretty much the closest the Histerians have to a recurring antagonist.

** [[Butt Monkey]]: Sometimes, she gets the worst treatment out of all the characters (particularly when she gets blasted by torpedos and discovers the real reason why "Damn the torpedos" is an appropriate phrase, despite containing a word that's considered taboo on American children's TV). The treatment is [[Justified Trope|justified]] as, in most of Steven Spielberg's cartoons, network censors (along with studio executives) are [[Acceptable Targets]] to mock and make into villains.

It's said that when her husband, one of the cannon crewmen, was wounded during the Battle of Monmouth, she took his place at the guns.

* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: She's portrayed as being like Martha Stewart.

* [[Running Gag]]
