A Young Daffy Duck

Cartoons were a major influence in my life. They helped me learn to think creatively (Wile E. Coyote might have been my biggest influence in becoming an engineer). I'm pretty sure that cartoons are the reason I constantly have big ideas, they may also be the reason I haven't yet had one hit the big time. Anything is possible in a cartoon.

This cartoon, Daffy Doodles, is from 1946. It's my favorite of all time. Looney Tunes made some of the funniest cartoons ever. I don't know when exactly it happened, but it seems that short cartoons like these are gone. They're still doing a good job selling Happy Meals and Trix. At least we can still dig these shorts up on the internet. If only it was on Hulu.

Young Daffy Duck cared about one thing: acting daffy. Older Daffy got too worried about his legacy and was constantly jealous of Bugs Bunny's fame. It's interesting how that happens. If only he could have stayed the same care-free duck, these short cartoons might still be around.

I guess even cartoon ducks get old.
