First Appearance Of Daffy DuckÂ
Created by Tex Avery and Bob Clampett, Daffy was little more than an unnamed bit player in Porkyâs Duck Hunt. But he was also something new, something people didnât see in cartoons of the day, an assertive and unrestrained protagonist.
Based on this popularity, the studiosâ animators added Daffy to several cartoons, with each director offering his own take on his personality. Sometimes he was a crazy vigilante and others he was a greedy glory-seeker. In many early cartoons Daffy was a wild screwball bouncing around the screen yelling âHoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo!â
Legendary voice actor Mel Blanc voiced Daffy from his very first appearance. Daffyâs famous lisp evolved over time. While some believe Blanc based his voice for Daffy on producer Leon Schlesinger, Blanc had a different take. He claimed, âIt seemed to me that such an extended mandible would hinder his speech, particularly on words containing an s sound. Thus âdespicableâ became âdesthpicable.ââ
Daffy Duck and Porky Pig were an established team during Daffy Duckâs early years of stardom. The duckâs aggressive style complemented the pigâs less confident demeanor. Although Daffy Duck and Porky Pig became a successful duo, producers later developed a more volatile combination: Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny.
Though Bugs Bunny was the studioâs most popular character, Daffy was popular in his own right. He frequently parodied famous characters including Dick Tracy, the Scarlet Pimpernel, Hopalong Cassidy, Buck Rogers, and Robin Hood.
Mel Blanc voiced Daffy for 52 years, which is the current record for longest run of voice acting for a cartoon character.
