Schweinchen Dick
While Bugs Bunny became Warner Bros.' most popular character, the directors still found ample use for Daffy. Several cartoons place him in parodies of popular movies and radio serials; Porky Pig was usually a comic relief sidekick. For example, Daffy in "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery" (1946) as "Duck Twacy" (Dick Tracy) by Bob Clampett; in "The Scarlet Pumpernickel" (1950), Daffy was the hero and Porky Pig was the villain. In "Drip-Along Daffy" (1951), named after the Hopalong Cassidy character, throws Daffy into a Western with him labeled "Western-Type Hero" and Porky Pig labeled "Comedy Relief". In "Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century" (1953), a parody of "Buck Rogers", Daffy trades barbs (and bullets) with Marvin the Martian, with Porky Pig retaining the role of Daffy's sidekick. In "Rocket Squad" (1956), a parody of "Dragnet" and "Racket Squad", Daffy and Porky Pig pair up once again. Daffy also played "Stupor Duck", a parody of the "Adventures of Superman" television series. "Robin Hood Daffy" (1958) casts the duck in the role of the legendary outlaw Robin Hood with Porky Pig as Friar Tuck. Besides being playing parodies, Daffy also played a salesman-who continually annoys a potential customer into buying something: in "Fool Coverage", Daffy actually succeeds into selling Porky Pig a $1,000,000 accident policy which only works under impossible conditions-unfortunately for Daffy, all the conditions occur!
