The Daffy Giclee print is a reproduction
from a vintage drawing borrowed from the Bob Clampett
archives. Drawn by Clampett, it appeared in the 1937
classic, “Porky’s Duck Hunt,” which was Daffy’s first
cartoon and initial pairing with Porky Pig.
-
With Warner Bros. attempt to supplant the
popularity of Disney’s Donald Duck, Warner Bros. Director,
Tex Avery enlisted Clampett to create several ducks with
varying personalities. However, it was Clampett’s idea to
roll these personalities into one duck, thus creating Daffy.
-
An instant success, Daffy’s personality was
far from anything seen in animation. He was rude,
irreverent, enjoyed taking advantage of individuals, and was
overall the antithesis of many other characters in the
Looney Tunes stable.
-
Of both Bugs and Daffy, Chuck Jones has
said, “Bugs is who we want to be. Daffy is who we are.”
-
“Porky’s Duck Hunt” is also one of first
animation efforts to showcase the new, more slimmed down
Porky Pig, who was criticized in earlier shorts as too obese
and mean spirited, such as in the cartoon “I Haven’t Got A
Hat.”
-
The edition of 137 signifies 1937, the year
“Porky’s Duck Hunt” was released.
