Daffy #13
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Uncustomary Inspection," Daffy Duck takes a comically desperate turn, trading on his reputation as a trickster to pull off a scheme no one else would believe—convincing the perpetually grumpy prospector Yosemite Sam that he can "smell gold" for a fee. Written by Michael Maltese and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Phil De Lara (both interior and cover), this 1958 Dell comic offers a classic, slapstick twist on ambition and greed, all for the low price of 10 cents.
In "High and Dry," a parched and weary Daffy Duck stumbles through the desert, desperate for water—only to be swindled into buying a fake "pond" from a shady salesman. What starts as a cruel trick quickly becomes a welcome illusion, especially when the real alternative proves even more chaotic.
In "Nosy but Nice," Daffy Duck, scraping together his meager savings—two slugs, an Indian head penny, and a Hopalong Hartson button—decides he needs a new house, but the price is out of reach. So he hatches a scheme, convincing the gullible prospector Yosemite Sam that he can "smell gold" for an hourly fee.
When Elmer’s hamburger stand faces ruin, he’s desperate enough to bring in Daffy as a partner—hoping the duck’s wild ideas might finally draw in a crowd. With chaos and crumpled receipts on the line, it’s anyone’s guess whether their partnership will save the business or just make things worse.
Daffy Duck, ever the self-proclaimed do-gooder, tries to outshine Good Scout Cicero by helping an old lady cross the street—but his idea of a good deed quickly spirals into chaos. One moment he’s aiming for heroics, the next he’s tangled in a mess only his usual antics can create.
In "The Art of Car Skiing," Daffy Duck pulls a classic stunt: he straps his skis to the roof of a car, drives to the top of a ski trail, flips the car over, and skis down the mountain on the roof. A delightfully absurd blend of slapstick and automotive chaos, this short gem from Daffy #13 (1958) showcases the kind of manic, physics-defying fun that defines the series.
