☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Ducky Deputy" kicks off in 1955 with a waddling twist on the classic road trip, as Daffy Duck teams up with a clueless duck named Dumbbell Duffy, who’s determined to reach the south for winter. Written by Don R. Christensen and illustrated by Phil De Lara, the story follows the duo’s misadventures when they stow away in what they think is a southbound car—only to end up behind bars after hitching a ride with a prison warden. The cover, by Tony Strobl, captures the chaotic charm of the tale in bold, expressive lines.
In "null," Daffy Duck learns it's duck hunting season and decides to turn the tables on Elmer Fudd. Sneaking into Elmer's house, he swaps the shotgun shells' shot for caviar, setting up a meal that's as unexpected as it is delicious.
In "Ducky Deputy," Jo, a small and overly self-assured duck, deputizes himself to catch the notorious bank robber Bruiser Dooley, a much larger and more dangerous fugitive. With nothing but bravado and a feathered hat, Jo sets off on a wild chase, unaware that his quarry has a surprising weakness—one that might just turn the tables.
In "Southward Bound," Daffy Duck teams up with a clueless fellow fowl named Dumbbell Duffy, who’s struggling to find his way south for winter. Hoping to hitch a ride on a passing car they assume is headed south, the duo sneak into the luggage—only to end up behind bars when they realize too late it’s a prison warden’s vehicle.
In "Pet Your Pet," Elmer plans a quiet getaway in his car and trailer, only to have his peace shattered by Daffy, who hops in uninvited and insists he’s just a well-behaved pet. The story unfolds as Elmer tries to keep his secret — that Daffy isn’t actually his pet — while navigating the chaos of a road trip with a very opinionated passenger.
In "A Star is Hatched," Daffy, playing the role of a studio mogul, stirs up chaos at Planet Pictures with his wild demands for a "ducky" western—complete with over-the-top antics and a cast of confused animal actors. The story unfolds in the wacky world of animated filmmaking, where egos clash and the line between performance and reality blurs.
