Dick Drake (voiced by Shelley Berman) is a news duck. He is the host of the news magazine series Seven Minutes.
Dick once had an episode on Wade Duck and his numerous fears, which included input from Dr. Edward R. Furrow, identified as Wade's psychiatrist. When Wade noted how brave he was for hosting a show watched by millions of people, Dick became paralyzed with fear. The event allowed him to understand Wade.
Much to Dick's annoyance, Seven Minutes is occasionally interrupted by another host appearing prematurely.
