Daffy Duck—okay, Chuck Jones—doesn’t waste time bashing clueless Elmer Fudd with a large mallet in “To Duck or Not to Duck” (1943). Daffy pulls out a mallet in three frames, holds his pose for seven frames, then clobbers Elmer in three frames. That’s about a half second.

Bobe Cannon gets the animation credit on this cartoon, but Ken Harris and Rudy Larriva were animating for Jones as well at this time.
It always bothers me a bit when cartoonists subtract toes.
ReplyDeleteIn his early Daffy cartoons, Chuck Jones always gave him only two toes.
