Hasty la vie-sta!
25 October 2006
I always suspected that the name "Daffy" was adapted from "daft". "Daffy Duck Hunt" certainly suggests that. It portrays Porky Pig and his dog - presumably Barnyard Dog from the Foghorn Leghorn cartoons - going duck hunting, and they bring back Daffy, who made a deal with the dog that the dog wouldn't actually kill him. Once in Porky's freezer, Daffy proceeds to make life a living hell for the dog and Porky (needless to say, Porky thinks that the dog is making the noise). Finally at the end, there's a Christmas party like you've never seen before - namely because it happens in April! Part of the cartoon's humor derives from Daffy just being as crazy as he can. Part of the humor derives from Porky being how Leonard Maltin once described him: he wasn't as much an actor as a reactor. And of course, there's what happens to the dog. But overall, just watching a classic Looney Tunes cartoon is enough to elate anyone. It's pleasure to the max. Merry Christmas and hasty la vie-sta!
