Daffy Doodles is a 1946 Looney Tunes short directed by Robert McKimson.
== Plot ==
In a large eastern city, the residents are terrified and the police are baffled because someone has been drawing mustaches on all the ads in sight. Daffy Duck eventually asides that he is the guilty party.
Policeman Porky Pig is set as a "booby trap"; he's holding up a picture frame around his own face. Daffy manages to draw a mustache on Porky's face and run off, and Porky gives chase. 
Daffy runs off to a rapid transit/subway platform, tricks Porky into getting on the arriving train, and escapes.
Later, Porky comes across more of Daffy's work, including a mustache on a picture of Bugs Bunny. Porky eventually finds Daffy, with a rope around his waist, painting a mustache on a giant billboard face. Porky gives chase and gets up to the billboard as Daffy is singing "She was an acrobat's daughter" while still swinging from the rope. Porky clubs Daffy in the head, and Daffy wanders to the edge. He jumps and seemingly falls to his death, but in fact stops on the ledge around the roof. Porky chases Daffy around the ledge.
The chase ends back on the roof, where both of them crash through a skylight and Daffy, again, wanders off. Porky chases Daffy through the building, finally spotting Daffy inside a mail chute. He races downstairs to pull him out. Daffy arrives to "arrest" him for "stealing mail" and slaps handcuffs on himself and Porky, and then paints another mustache on him. But this time, Daffy is clubbed by Porky while still handcuffed to him.
Daffy ends up in court a judge and pleads for mercy. With the jury composed of mustached Jerry Colonna all on his side, Daffy swears never again to draw another mustache before declaring that he's "doing beards now!" He then proceeds to draw a beard on the judge and draws paint over the screen until it's all black.

== Notes ==
* This short is the first full-length short that former animator Robert McKimson directed, after Frank Tashlin left Warner Bros. Studios in 1944. This is also McKimson's first full civilian cartoon, as he only completed Tashlin's incomplete work on "Tale of Two Mice" and "Hare Remover", and his first fully directed short overall was "The Return of Mr. Hook", which was only seen by the U.S. Navy.
* Mel Blanc provided the voices for Daffy, Porky, Jerry Colonna and the Judge, Robert C. Bruce voiced the narrator, and Warren Foster was the writer/story artist.https://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/robert-mckimsons-daffy-doodles-1946/
* The working title was "Mustache Maniac".
* The original titles had the song "All the Time" playing over them.
* The dog judge would later appear in the Looney Tunes Cartoons short "Mallard Practice".
* A Cartoon Festivals print with the a.a.p. logo starts with the 1947-1949 Color Rings and the 1939-40 version of Merrily We Roll Along. After the Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodies series title is shown, the print changes to another print once the short's title card shows up, and the music changes for the last three seconds. This is an MGM/UA print and was probably hacked off by United Artists in the 1980s.
** The American and European Turner "dubbed version" prints on Cartoon Network/Boomerang USA and International Networks, the DVD My Reputation and the LaserDisc/VHS print released on The Golden Age of Looney Tunes sets have no errors on the Blue Ribbon.
* MeTV aired a previously unreleased restored print of this cartoon on Saturday Morning Cartoons.
* The original titles have been reported to exist in the UCLA Film and Television Archive.https://blueribbonblues.neocities.org/checklist.htmlhttps://www.facebook.com/warnerarchive/posts/pfbid0kbtYN5JJKGvAC8QZoArvvMi3bngepW48KMHPJEAdNkdH6yoQHN3V1CU1ZHuKMQWHl
** However, while a print with the original titles is known to exist, the original titles reported to exist in the UCLA archive are likely not on a 35mm print. As Warner Bros. only restores 35mm prints, the Blue Ribbon titles were restored instead.
* 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
