Episode: Shorts! Looney Tunes: Porky and Daffy & The Daffy Doc
Description: By the late 30s, Disney had accrued multiple big cartoon stars, but Warner Bros still really just had the one: Porky Pig. Then Porky went on a duck hunt and the studio started to think... maybe we've got the makings for a second star. 1938 is the year they would try to make Daffy Duck a star, and what better way to start than by having him co-star with Porky? In these two shorts we explore Daffy's earliest cartoons where he's a headliner star, and ask ourselves... do these still hold up?
