Marilyn Piquel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marilyn Piquel is a character from the cartoon TV Series Bonkers
Marilyn Piquel is presumibly the only child of Lucky and Dilandra "Dil" Piquel. Marilyn is a child genius daughter, who is an aspiring artist as well as script/story writing and has a deep connection to toons such as Bonkers, with her favorite toon being TV star Skunky Skunk. She is more than capable than taking care of herself and aids her father in a number of his cases often being the words of wisdom or source of knowledge to Lucky. She is noted for although looking like her mom Dilandra "Dil"/"Dyl" (aside from her big round glasses and freckled face), she also shares her father's hair color. She is also known as Mayrlin. Marilyn wears along with her glasses a headband, red sweater over her rolled up collared shirt, sweat pants, red socks and greyish white sneakers. She sometimes have a toon pencil with her.
While almost forgotten, Marilyn Piquel (Along with Honker Muddlefoot who appeared two years earlier on Darkwing Duck) has paved the way for child geniuses in supporting roles in cartoons later on in the 1990's (And early 2000's).
Among the child geniuses cartoon characters in cartoons who popped up after Bonker's run ended include
- Gretchen from Recess
- Jim and Tim Possible and Wade from Kim Possible
- Haley Long from American Dragon: Jake Long
