Daffy Duck Tunes"/"Merrie Melodies" cartoons, behind Bugs Bunny's 167 appearances and Porky Pig's 162 appearances. Virtually every Warner Bros. cartoon director put his own spin on the Daffy Duck character – he may be a lunatic vigilante in one short but a greedy gloryhound in another. Bob Clampett and Chuck Jones both made extensive use of these two very different versions of the character. Daffy was number 14 on "TV Guide"s list of top 50 greatest cartoon characters. Daffy first appeared in "Porky's Duck Hunt", released on April 17, 1937. The cartoon was directed by Tex Avery and animated by Bob Clampett.
Daffy Duck Hunt wants to get revenge against Daffy, but Daffy continues to act silly around him (dressed like a superhero, wearing mittens and a towel for a cape, re-enacting the 1925 serum run to Nome concluding with a loud scream, then dead-panning, "How's things been with "you"?"). When Porky appears, wondering what all the noise is about, Daffy once again jumps into the dog's mouth. A furious Porky once again thinks his dog is stealing Daffy, and pounds him once again. Porky then places Daffy back into the freezer. Finally, the dog has had enough and grabs an axe to finish Daffy
