sometimes it's best not to buy anything
While "The Stupor Salesman" looks like the sort of cartoon that they used to fill time between the really great ones, it still provides it's fair share of laughs. When a bank robber hides out in a cabin, door-to-door vendor Daffy Duck - with a suitcase containing every product imaginable - tries to sell him something. Despite the fact that the guy repeatedly throws Daffy out and even tries to kill him, Daffy apparently never realizing how dangerous the guy is. I know that Daffy is supposed to be a nut, but shouldn't even he be a little more tuned in than that? Oh well. Life goes on. I did like some of the gags that they pulled here, especially at the end. In my view, this cartoon gives a slight look at Daffy's evolving greedy side, as he intends to sell at any cost (although that may be a loose connection). The only other time that I know of that Arthur Davis directed Daffy was in 1947's "Mexican Joyride".
