Clampett Celebration : "Draftee Daffy"
"Draftee Daffy" is another of Clampett's great cartoon.
And it is full of wild and wacky takes, a trademark of Clampett's best 40s shorts.
Here you have assorted shots from the cartoon.
We start with Daffy speaking at the phone. Do compare this scene with a similar one in THE GREAT PIGGY BANK ROBBERY and see how wackier the same situation was animated after only one year!
Here you have some wild reactions of Daffy when he sees the terrible " little man from the draft board " !
What follows is my favorite sequence in the cartoon.
Yours Truly,

I'm rather sorry that I've only just now learned about the genius of Rod Scribner. His artistry goes right to the heart of why these films are delightful, hilarious and ageless. Thanks for making this available!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff!
ReplyDeleteYou won't believe how happy it makes me to see Rod Scribner stills from old Clampett cartoons!
I used to freeze frame Draftee Daffy all the time simply because I could tell there were tons of whacky drawings in it.
Thank you soooo much for this Blog!
Is it just me, or did Clmapett leave at his peak? His cartoons were getting better and better as the years went by!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I always thought, Jorge.
ReplyDeleteOne can only wonder what he could have do next.
Now this blog brings a smile to my face. Thank you.
