Daffy Doodles is a Warner Bros. cartoon featuring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. Daffy is the notorious "mustache fiend", bent on putting a mustache on every lip in sight, while Porky is a policeman intent on capturing Daffy (this plays on the fact that "pig" is also a slang for a police officer).

This cartoon is the first full-length cartoon that former animator Robert McKimson directed. Mel Blanc provided the voices for the characters, and Warren Foster was the writer.

[edit] Plot

A narrator intones that in a large eastern city, the residents are terrified and the police baffled - all because someone has been drawing mustaches on all the ads in sight. Daffy eventually confesses to being the guilty party to the audience.

Porky Pig, as a policeman, 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 subway platform, tricks Porky into getting on the arriving train, and escapes.

Later on Porky, having come across more of Daffy's work, sees Daffy, 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 and slaps handcuffs on himself and Porky, but this time, he is clubbed by Porky while still handcuffed to him.

Daffy ends up in court a judge and pleads for mercy. With the jury — all composed of moustached Jerry Colonnas — 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.

[edit] Miscellanea

Turner prints of the cartoon made prior to 1995 have the a.a.p. logo play as normal, but then the Blue Ribbon opening for Farm Frolics is shown, with the 1939-41 Merrie Melodies theme music playing over it. Only the last few seconds of this intro are the proper Blue Ribbon titles for this cartoon. The "dubbed version" has this cartoon's Blue Ribbon opening played in full. [1]
