Genre

anthropomorphic-funny animals; humor

Characters

Daffy Duck; Bugs Bunny; Mr. Twiddle (not the character from "Wally Gator")

Synopsis

Mr. Twiddle relentlessly tracks Daffy to bring back a live specimen of a “collared duck” to the Timbuktu Zoo. In desperation, Daffy turns to Bugs Bunny for help – as only Daffy sycophantically can.

Keywords

dogged persistence; robot dog; tracker; zoo

Indexer Notes

A rare look at Jack Manning’s unique artistic take on Bugs Bunny – also seen in the following story. Daffy and Bugs are particularly well-characterized in this story, nicely mimicking their dynamic from the popular 1950s Warner Bros. animated shorts.

Brrrrr! It’s the coldest night of the year!

Genre

anthropomorphic-funny animals; humor

Characters

Daffy Duck; duck hunter; Bugs Bunny

Synopsis

Having delayed flying south for the winter, Daffy seeks relief from the snow and plummeting temperatures by moving in with Bugs Bunny and sharing his warm and comfortable hole-in-the-ground. Only thing is, Bugs never agreed to having a roommate – especially one as annoying as Daffy. When these two clash, will the “feathers fly” (south)?

Keywords

cold; looking for shelter; snow; unexpected intrusion; winter setting
