Sad to say it's not Daffy's best.
14 May 2021
It's far from his worst, but it's still pretty subpar by both Daffy's standards and by Art Davis's standards. It's not unwatchable, though.

The animation is pretty poor, though that can be excused because of lower budgets in 1962 compared to the studio's heyday. Oddly though, Daffy lacks the white ring around his neck here. Of course, animation quality isn't indicative of overall quality.

Speaking of overall quality, the cartoon has its moments but isn't as funny as Daffy's other cartoons of this year (or Art Davis's other Daffy cartoons; "The Stupor Salesman" is much funnier).

The general plot also reminds me of "The Up-Standing Sitter" (where Daffy has to retrieve a baby chick who hatches and runs away from him while egg-sitting and has to contend with an angry bulldog instead of a crocodile) and "An Egg Scramble" (where an elderly hen runs across town trying to get "her" egg back and Porky tries to stop her). In my personal opinion, both of those cartoons are better.

I also found Daffy's wife to be a pretty aggravating character.
