This is a rather unusual entry for Bugs and Daffy, as there is no dialog, only sound effects.A very worried Daffy Duck is about to be cut in half by magician Bugs Bunny. The duck has reason to worry as Bugs is sawing while reading Magic in 10 Easy Steps.
Bugs and Daffy are both on stage, performing magic tricks with their hats. Bugs one-ups Daffy at every turn. When the duck produces a flower, the rabbit produces a bouquet. Daffy conjures a bird, Bugs conjures eggs...that hatch into birds.
Bugs' hat survives a couple bits of showmanship while Daffy's does not. This continues until Daffy's hat is ruined. Bugs lends the duck his hat, and still shows him up. An enraged Daffy charges the rabbit, who deftly disposes of Daffy with his hat.
This is a rather unusual entry for Bugs and Daffy, as there is no dialog, only sound effects.Tweety watches as Sylvester puts on rollerblades and, while Granny goes out to get the mail, builds a ramp in his quest to reach the the bird. Sylvester misses and runs painfully into the wall. As the cat recovers Granny returns with a letter for Tweety.
Tweety's uncle, Sam, is coming for a visit. Sam has an unusual means of travel: overnight mail. Sylvester makes plans to dine upon Sam. When the mail arrives with Sam, Sylvester dresses as Granny and tries to sign for the shipment. This fails, as does an attempt at tripping the mail carrier.
Granny signs for the box and Sylvester claws it open. The cat finds Sam is an eagle. Sylvester also finds himself getting clobbered by the eagle. After this Sylvester calls the post office and asks if they ship cats...
This story appears to be one that might have been intended for a special issue of Looney Tunes to go along with the release of the Sylvester and Tweety stamp. There was no such special issue as there was with the Bugs Bunny stamp. Page 15: Boxes similar to the one shown are used to ship birds by mail, though usually smaller birds are sent. Yes, they are handled rather differently than regular parcels. Page 15: It is indeed a federal offense to tamper with the mail. Page 18: The eagle is the symbol used the United States Postal Service.
Page 7: Granny hardly need be concerned about rock videos on MTV nowadays. Page 7: Odd that Tweety wouldn't know of rollerblades by now. Pages 8 & 9: These two pages are reversed. Sylvester builds a ramp on page nine, but uses it on page eight. Pages 10 & 11: While it may be cheaper than commercial airline tickets, traveling by mail would hardly be less stressful. Also, bad weather does indeed slow the mails. Page 22: No, the post office will not ship anything. Items considered dangerous or dangerous to ship are not accepted for shipment.At Porky's Pizza Palace Daffy is ranting about the lack of certain toppings. The duck settles for a nontraditional but very aquatic style pizza, managing to annoy Petunia as he places his order.
While waiting for his pizza, the duck spots the wall with a Looney Tunes photo gallery. There are pictures of everyone, and everything, but Daffy. Porky tries to explain, but Daffy jumps to the conclusion a photo is needed and tries to recruit Taz as photographer. Taz, unfortunately, has a hunger for photography that gets in the way.
After hiring a professional photographer, or at least a snooty one, Daffy further disrupts Porky's business. This alone annoys Porky, but even worse it also drives customers away. The duck leaves and is told to stay out. Two attempts are made at delivering a portrait to the Pizza Palace, the second one resulting in the restaurant's destruction.
Daffy is chagrined upon discovering that, as Porky had tried to tell him, his picture was merely out being framed. The destructive duck is hauled off, complaining about the frame. Later, Porky's place is rebuilt and Daffy's picture does hang on a wall...as a dartboard.
Page 23: Need I point out that the toppings Daffy asks about are derived from pigs? Page 30: Remarkably, people have tried to break into fast-food joints via the oven vents...they usually fail. (EC) Other Looney Tunes at Porky's Pizza Palace are: Rocky and Mugsy, and Elmer Fudd. Page 23: The road in front of the Pizza Palace appears to be two lane and not one-way judging from the signs in front of the Palace, this means the stripes in the road should be yellow, not white.* Issue Index * Tabular Issue Index * Story Index * Creative People * Disclaimer *
