Trivia
After sliding down the banister, Daffy turns a statue so that its spear will hit Mr. Meek, who is sliding after him. As he does, you can briefly see that the shield the statue is holding has the words "BUY BONDS" on it.

Goofs
The Meek farmhouse apparently has no ceiling or roof. When Daffy takes to the air after Mr. Meek runs into the wall, he is flying in the open air. He is shown against a sky background when he drops the egg, but when it hits its target, Mr. Meek is in his living room again.

Quotes
[First lines]
Mr. Meek: Oh, I really hate to do this, folks, but my wife Sweetypuss says if I don't roast a duck for dinner, she'll cook my goose.

Very fun, amusing and a delight to watch.

This Daffy Duck episode stars the crazy (and luckily not very greedy) Daffy and a weedy, pathetic (pathetic at first and then a bit less later) man who is trying to hunt him, because his wife forced him to (luckily she does not appear in any part of the episode). The hunter is searching for a duck and he quickly comes across Daffy eating seeds. Daffy is not to be easily killed however...

I enjoyed this episode because Daffy, who is very unconventional and off-the-wall here (entertainingly so), is so good and because of the animation, the plot-line and the man who tries to hunt Daffy. The humour is also very good, fun and wacky. It is a bit odd for Looney Tunes humour, but will appeal to a great deal of viewers. A good deal of the jokes are old fashioned as well (like the kissing one, which I like for some reason, which ccthemovieman pointed out), stuff that would not be made today, for anyone's viewing, which is another highlight to the cartoon.

I recommend this to people who enjoy old Looney Tunes and to people who like Daffy Duck, especially when he's CRAZY. Enjoy "The Wise Quacking Duck"! :-)
