Daffy Duck #44

In "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.
