[ I take full responsibility for this.  Blame it on my having seen
  "Ducklahoma" one too many times. ]
 
 
( Paris, daytime.  SHIRLEY THE LOON is seated at a cafe table, in
  native French clothing, eyes closed, sipping a drink.  PLUCKY DUCK
  enters the scene and walks right up to her table, and starts grinning
  and making eyes at SHIRLEY.  SHIRLEY pays him no notice. )
 
                         PLUCKY (vo)
                I first encountered it in Europe.
 
( A miniature ANVIL, no more than a couple of inches in size, drops
  on PLUCKY, hitting him on the head, and knocking him out, with the
  broad grin still on his face. )
 
( A park setting in Acme Acres, daytime.  PLUCKY is strolling along
  a path, closing in on camera. )
 
                          PLUCKY
                 And now it's come to America,
                 in non-prescription strength.
 
( PLUCKY produces a small medicine-type BOTTLE.  Extreme closeup of
  the bottle in his hand, clearly bearing the label "ANVIL".  A
  number of miniature anvils can be seen inside.)
 
                          PLUCKY (vo)
                 It's Anvil, with the miracle
                   ingredient I-be-hurten.
 
( Cut to a split screen, no background.  An identical PLUCKY is in
  both halves of the screen. )
 
                          PLUCKY (vo)
                 Just one Anvil is as effective
               as two regular-strength hammer blows.
 
( Another MINI-ANVIL drops on the PLUCKY on the left, and immediately
  after, a normal-sized hammer appears over the PLUCKY on the right,
  and conks him on the head twice.  The first hammer blow stuns PLUCKY.
  the second knocks him out cold.  The PLUCKY on the left is knocked out
  right away by the MINI-ANVIL.)
 
( Cut to a cartoonist's bench, with an ANIMATOR hard at work. )
 
                            PLUCKY (vo)
               In fact, cartoonists have recommended
              Anvil over 50 million times for many types
                             of pain.
 
( Cut to a closeup of the page he is working on, which features PLUCKY
  with a mini-anvil just above PLUCKY's head, clearly about to hit him
  on the next page.  
 
                            PLUCKY (vo)
                        Including headaches...
 
( The page starts animating itself [note this is non-color, just animator
  traces].  The MINI-ANVIL duly hits PLUCKY on the head, not knocking him
  out, but instead causing to hold his head in pain, and look malevolently
  at camera. )
 
                          PLUCKY (vo)
                      ...sprained feet...
 
( Another MINI-ANVIL drops on PLUCKY's foot, causing him to grab it and
  hop around in further agony. )
 
                          PLUCKY (vo)
                    ...and general body aches.
 
( PLUCKY is now caught in a shower of MINI-ANVILS, and is nearly buried
  by the great number of them.  PLUCKY sticks his head out of the pile
  and gives the camera a very menacing look as he takes one of the MINI-
  ANVILS in hand. )
 
( Cut back to the ANIMATOR, still calmly at work.  A white MINI-ANVIL
  suddenly emerges from the page and conks him squarely in the forehead,
  David-and-Goliath style.  The animator falls backwards out of his chair. )

                           PLUCKY (vo)
                 Anvil.  Advanced weaponry for pain.
