Happy 70th Birthday, Daffy!*

You don't look a day over 30

It was seventy years ago that Tex Avery's masterpiece Porky's Duck Hunt premiered in theaters, featuring the world premiere of a certain bouncing black duck that we all dubbed as Daffy. It was also the first cartoon that Mel Blanc did the voice of Porky Pig.

Mike's wife Linda would never let us hear the end of it if we didn't pay tribute to her favorite character of all time. So, for your dining and dancing pleasure and after a brief ad, here's a colorized version of the very first Daffy Duck cartoon, Porky's Duck Hunt...

* Okay, the film premiered on April 17, 1937, so it's a few days late. You expected respect at this date in the game?
