Information
In
the early years, Daffy was a hyperactive, aggressive and
overbearing duck. In contrast, Porky Pig was mild mannered
and shy. They became an established team and made many
appearances together. Audiences easily related to this
epic struggle between the unpredictable little black duck
and this pleasant, chubby pig.
The next big change in Daffy came when Chuck Jones teamed
him with Bugs Bunny. Daffy Duck went from a neurotic duck
to a thinking duck. His personality is now cunning, conniving,
greedy and somewhat aggressive in any of his endeavors.
This played well off of Bug's cool, thinking demeanor,
and made a conflict that still lives on today. Even with
all of his hard planning, Daffy never seemed to come out
on top. His selfish attitude of "Mine", in connection
with his hunger for wealth, were always the downfall of
any well-laid plan.
