He’s treated better in the first cartoon.
Daffy looks around. Cut to a closer shot. “Hey, what’s the idea? What’s the idea? There’s supposed to be a barrel for me to hide in.” Daffy points to a spot on the ground, then whips out a sheaf of papers and points. “It says so right here in the script.”
“Somebody’s been layin’ down on the job,” he continues and points upward. “J.L. will hear of this!”
The artist quickly draws and paints in the barrel. The cartoon can now continue.
Mike Maltese came up with outraged Daffy gag for both cartoons, this one for Friz Freleng. Gerry Chiniquy gets the animation credit, and Paul Julian paints the backgrounds.
Duck Amuck is definitely a great cartoon, but the joke is a lot funnier in this cartoon since it comes out of nowhere. We also get the goofier Daffy, albeit not as crazy as he was five years ago.
ReplyDeleteDaffy mentions J.L. In "The Scarlet Pumpernickel", Daffy spends the bulk of the cartoon talking to him about him being typecast as a comedian and to be cast in dramatic roles. I wonder if Tom Hanks and Jim Carrey saw that cartoon. To quote Leonard Nimoy from π»ππ πΊπππππππ: "The world needs laughter." π€£
