Daffy Duck Cartoon Picture 1. Daffy Duck cartoon images gallery 1. Daffy Duck cartoon pictures collection 1. One of the most popular cartoon characters ever is Daffy Duck. Daffy was the second hit star from the Warner Bros. cartoon shop, appearing two years after Porky Pig. Before Daffy and Porky, Warner Brothers had only hoped to beat the Disney studio in popularity, with the black-and-white Hugh Harman/Rudolph Ising Bosko cartoons of the early 30's, and later the horrible Buddy cartoons. Bosko had potential, but his creators got a better opportunity to work at the MGM cartoon studio. They took Bosko, a little inkspot character with the characteristics of a little black boy, with them after 3 years at Warners, working for independent producer Leon Schlesinger. In 1934, the cartoonists remaining, including Friz Freleng, decided to continue the Bosko formula with a white song-and-dance kid named Buddy, one of the most boring characters ever created. These recieve trashing from modern critics, and are among, now, the rarest of all Looney Tunes. This would not last long. Friz Freleng absolutely despised Buddy, and decided to experiment with a group of funny animals, lightly based on the Little Rascals/"Our Gang" scenario. His first film with this idea, "I Haven't Got a Hat", introduced Porky Pig, a shy, stuttering school kid with a passion for patriotic poems and a lack of pants.

His classmates, most of which would reappear only on title cards, included a cat named Beans, an owl named Oliver, and "Little Kitty", a sort of female counterpart to Beans. Jack King, Bob Clampett, Friz Freleng, and Tex Avery would continue to work with the Porky and Beans series through 1936, and they had a popular character for the first time in 4 years. These cartoons still, however, showed a Disney influence. Tex Avery, who was not exactly a master at creating Disney-esque cartoons, decided to change things for the better and actually make his cartoons FUNNY. He began, around this time, to cross unusual boundaries with gags in the Porky series, creating a concepts still used in comedy films today, the "everywhere-I-turn -he's there" and "talking-to-the-audience". He wanted a character so incongruous, so nuts, so out-of place that it would put Walt Disney's cute "Silly Symphonies" to shame. He got one, in the 1937 cartoon "Porky's Duck Hunt." The elements were finally in place, the hunt (which would become a classic cartoon situation for decades to come), the gags, and the crazy, off-the-wall character, Daffy Duck. If Mickey Mouse was the character that brought animation to the public, it was the team of Porky and Daffy that made it truly funny.
