Along Came Daffy

Along Came Daffy is a 1947 Looney Tunes short directed by I. Freleng.
== Plot ==
Two starving men (one of which looks like Yosemite Sam; the other also looks like Yosemite Sam, but with black hair) in a snowbound cabin start to hallucinate and see each other as food items, and even fight with a similarly starving mouse over one measly pea they could find in the cabin. 
Door-to-door cookbook salesman Daffy Duck arrives but they slam the door in his face. Moments later their peanut-sized brains realize he is a duck and they just passed up a potential duck dinner, and so they invite him back in and chase him all over the cabin. Eventually, Daffy explains that he happens to have a complimentary turkey dinner in his sample case. He opens the case and out springs the meal. He makes a quick exit as the famished men sit down to eat.
Before they can take a bite, a horde of hungry mice dash from their hole and strip the turkey clean. The men hear another knock on the door. Daffy is there again, offering some after-dinner mints. The men grab him and pull him inside. Daffy sticks his head out the door for a moment and says, "Well, here we go again," before being yanked back inside.

==Censorship== 
*The WB removed the part where after all of the duck decoys are shot with Daffy remaining, one of the men shoots his gun at Daffy, blowing feathers from Daffy's carcass and leaving some of the feathers in the form of a bikini bathing suit once the smoke clears.http://www.intanibase.com/gac/looneytunes/censored-a.aspx
== Goofs ==
*Although the original 1946-1955 Looney Tunes ending music cue is preserved on the Blue Ribbon reissue, the Turner dubbed version (both US and EU) replaces the original ending music cue with the 1941-55 Merrie Melodies ending music cue.
**The 2020 restoration uses the USA Turner dubbed version as the source of its soundtrack and has this error as well.
== Notes ==
* After one starving hermit puts the other in the oven, Daffy uses a variation of Bugs Bunny's catchphrase: "Ehh... (munching noises) what's cookin', doc?", albeit without the carrot.
*According to a ToonHeads episode about Norman McCabe's work, this cartoon is a color remake of "Daffy's Southern Exposure" from a different point of view, while also incorporating plot elements from the short "Wackiki Wabbit" (1943). Coincidentally, both this cartoon and "Wackiki Wabbit" are written by Tedd Pierce, feature contributions from both Michael Maltese and Tedd Pierce in one way or another, and have a similar concept of two starving men attempting to cook and eat the animal protagonist after hallucinating to eat each other out of starvation.
*The original titles had the song "I'd Be Lost Without You" playing over them.https://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/more-lost-looney-tunes-title-cues/
* The two men are similar to Yosemite Sam.
** There has been debate if one of the men is an official depiction of Yosemite Sam. Some evidence leaning towards him being a "clone" of Yosemite Sam is no matter what setting, Sam either keeps his name or something similar to it and/or has the same physical design but in a different outfit. The hillbilly in this cartoon lacks a mask and bears a gray hat instead of Sam's usual yellow hat, which is something Sam always keep in his varying designs no matter what setting. Despite that, several documentaries and official listings from Warner Media have identified one of the men as Yosemite Sam, such as ToonHeads and one quiz from the MeTV Toons website.https://www.metvtoons.com/quiz/did-these-looney-tunes-antagonists-ever-go-after-anyone-other-than-their-usual-target
* This cartoon was originally slated to be included on the Looney Tunes Super Stars' Daffy Duck: Frustrated Fowl DVD, but was replaced early in development due to executive backlash from Warner Home Video.https://www.hometheaterforum.com/community/threads/whv-announcement-looney-tunes-super-stars.290816/#post-3537991
