Daffy Duck #44
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Apples to Applesauce," Daffy Duck hatches a delightfully harebrained plan to escape the cold by hitching a ride on Yosemite Sam’s boat to the South Seas—only to discover Sam’s heading in the exact opposite direction. With a compass that’s more stubborn than a mule and a determination that rivals his own ego, Daffy’s antics turn the voyage into a slapstick showdown of wits, weather, and misplaced navigation. Written by Michael Maltese and brought to life with energetic art by Phil De Lara (who handled both pencils and inks for the cover and interior), this 1966 Western Publishing gem captures the classic chaos of the Looney Tunes universe in a 12-cent adventure.
Daffy Duck, stung by Elmer Fudd’s harsh words, sets his sights on a wild dream: becoming the first duck to land on the Moon. His makeshift rocket crashes near Elmer, who’s on his way to a costume party—dressed as a moon-man.
In "Accidents Will Happen," Sylvester’s clumsy fall knocks over Granny’s prized vase—only to be forgiven when she chalks it up to an accident. Grateful for the leniency, the scheming cat decides to turn the tables, plotting to "accidentally" swallow Tweety in a twist of fate he hopes won’t be so forgiving.
Daffy Duck’s winter getaway takes a hilarious detour when he tries to hitch a ride on Yosemite Sam’s boat—only to discover Sam’s headed north, not south. With a compass that’s clearly not on his side, Daffy’s determined to reach his tropical paradise, turning every navigational twist into another scheme that’s bound to annoy Sam.
In "Nosy But Nice," Daffy Duck, down to his last two slugs, an Indian head penny, and a Hopalong Hartson button, hatches a scheme to buy a house by convincing gullible prospector Yosemite Sam that he can "smell gold" — for an hourly fee. With his usual mix of confidence and deception, Daffy sets out to cash in on Sam’s greed, one sniff at a time.
