Egghead Jr.

In Looney Tune land, Egghead Jr. is the little chicken with
big glasses and a very high IQ.


He's the son of Miss Prissy, the hen that's always trying to
win Foghorn Leghorn's love. And, Foghorn is always trying to
live in the warm nest house of Miss Prissy, but Miss Prissy seems
to think that Foghorn should be a good step father to
Egghead Jr. first.

Foghorn is not Egghead's real father...his real dad is never
revealed to Looney fans.


In some cartoons, Foghorn tries to show Egghead how to be a
real boy......stuff, like hunting, playing baseball and sports, and other
"manly" things, but Egghead is a brain and the pair just don't
ever seem to get along, perhaps because Egghead is way too
smart for Foghorn.


Egghead was also a large-headed, bald, egomaniacal villain
with a love for eggs in the 1966 Batman series.
