I didn't watch enough Warner Bros cartoons as a kid, so I have a lot of catching up to do now. This one is very creative, and it isn't dull for a moment.

Daffy goes through the same experiences that I go through with call center people: disbelief, rage, bargaining and then a anger sandwich with furious bread and the mayo of deep, bitter bile at all humanity. And its only a cartoon!

Breaks every rule of animated cinema for comedic effect, and every time it's spot-on. Very surreal (perhaps, even, existential? Daffy gets snuffed out by his creator, after all).

It's amazing that while very characteristic, for about seven minutes, this cartoon managed to make me forget completely that Duffy Duck is basically a frame-to-frame drawing voiced by a man behind a microphone. He is tortured and humilliated by the animator, and deals with it in his typical manner as animation is streched to it's limit. It's really something you have to see to appriciate. Then again, ain't it all?

A great example of meta-animation- funny, smart, and well-drawn, all wrapped up with Daffy's self-obsessed preening. In short, it's hard to top in less than seven minutes.

good idea, and a classic i've seen a hundred times. although at times it get's a little old, and kind of samey. of course, nothing bad can be said about the animation.
