The Daffster

Professor/President Emeritus Tom Sito informs us:

April 17, 1937 "Porky's Duck Hunt" The birthday of Daffy Duck.

One legendary story is that newly-hired voice actor Mel Blanc in part designed Daffys distinctive lisp to be an impression of the Looney Tunes boss Leon Schlensinger.

When they screened this cartoon all the artists stood in dread of how Leon would take the joke. Leon never made the connection that the Ducks voice was an imitation of him:" Gee Fellers, dat Duck iz pretty Ffffunny!"

The cartoon below (Don't ask me why this is in three segments; I can't tell you):

CHAPTER ONE



CHAPTER TWO
