Daffy Doodles

I am a very odd Looney Tunes fan. I love Looney Tunes for the reasons that most people do not like it. I like it mainly for the animation, non-slapstick jokes and the historical value. I am also a huge fan of Daffy Duck, but only in certain cartoons (I do not like Daffy Duck very much at all when he is being greedy and cruel, even though it is funny). In this cartoon, it was almost as if the Daffy, in both personality and animation style, was created for me. He was brilliant, I loved the little black duck in this cartoon. Even though there are many Daffy Duck cartoons I prefer to this one (do not ask me why, I have no idea), but this is the cartoon where I feel the personality of Daffy has been conjured toward his best and most entertaining. :-)

Anyhow, I also enjoyed this cartoon for Porky (who does not bring on much humour but has an admirable personality), the setting (New York City), the animation and the theme of the episode - painting moustaches on every face! Classic!

In this Daffy Duck episode, we are greeted with some sort of news headline, about a criminal in an "Eastern City" (lol), who is painting moustaches on every face. We meet Daffy Duck, who is the criminal and explains to the audience that everyone has a purpose in life - and his is to paint moustaches. Odd? It becomes better...

I recommend this to people who like the crazier Daffy Duck who is still easy to relate to, Porky Pig and Looney Tunes in general. The good thing about this cartoon for certain people is that there are quite a deal of farce and slapstick jokes. I did not particularly enjoy these myself, finding them laboriously repetitive, but other people will like them. Enjoy "Daffy Doodles"! :-)

This Daffy Duck and Porky Pig cartoon was just awesome, and I'm glad it was an extra on my DVD of 'My Reputation' from my Barbara Stanwyck TCM 4-pack. Early Daffy misadventures, before he became simply irritable, sarcastic and cynical, were completely absurdist, Dadaist and surrealistic, completely simpatico with my approach to life. Here, he applies graffitied mustaches to every face he can find, either on signs or on the people themselves. I was hooting with delight for the entire cartoon. Celebrities' movie posters or magazine advertisements that ended up adorned in such a way were Alexis Smith, Ann Sheridan, Peter Lorre, Humphrey Bogart and Ida Lupino. When policeman Porky Pig finally manages to capture the character, Daffy ends up throwing himself at the mercy of the court. Essential and hilarious viewing for all ages.

Daffy Doodles is a must see for Looney Tunes fans. Filled with double takes, chase sequences and just plain craziness. This is one of the best Looney Tunes ever made and features two of their best characters, Daffy and Porky. Like I said, a must see.

This cartoon has great energy, and was one of Robert McKimson's greatest cartoons. This hilarious cartoon shows Daffy acting the way he should, daffy. Also "Daffy Doodles" has wonderful animation, such as a rooftop chase sequence!

Directed by Robert McKimson this short has Daffy Duck drawing mustaches on almost every person and billboard in town. Porky Pig is the cop in charge of arresting him. What follows is another classic Daffy Duck and Porky Pig cartoon! The gags are filled with craziness and that's what makes it so humorous.
