Guilty! Acrylic on wood 6 inches. Opposite side says "the Old Ball & Chain"
Cartoon: The Super Snooper. Daffy Duck 1952
Saturday morning! There's lot's of love in Warner Brother cartoons.
I find this one cartoon in particular, very cute & funny.
Daffy is a detective - investigating a crime - at the wrong house. The female duck is thrilled with him and finds him very cute. I especially love how every time he gets close enough, she can't resist kissing him and he is oblivious.
He keeps going on, explaining how he knows she is guilty, seeming to take little notice of her admiration.
Ever wonder where 'Jessica Rabbit' was inspired from - Look at her. She even behaves the same.
Ton's of puns. Just looking at her very seductive & sexy' appearance - Daffy suggests - "she's guilty.."
Later when he realizes his error and exclaims. "..you're not guilty?" She states, she is guilty!
...Guilty, for being crazy about Daffy. In this case (amazing enough), it appears to be yet another case of unrequited love.
There is also a few gun references that are humorous, like when Daffy takes her "hand gun" out of her tiny clutch purse and it's as big as a baseball bat. I didn't realize but when these cartoons were aired for television, much of the "violence" was cut out. Remember - these cartoons were created by adults for adults, to accompany a feature film... they were not created for kids. Clearly, their appeal ranges from toddlers, teens to adults - still being enjoyed some 50- 60 years later.
It ends with a classic WB move - and visual gag' when Daffy becomes aware and tells the audience... "she's got that old ball & chain look" and the cartoon cuts to a close up of the stunning lady duck and her pupils are a ball & chain, this causes Daffy to run screaming -through a wooden door, leaving his silhouette. She runs after him, also smashing through the door. The cartoon ends leaving the silhouettes - to appear as a Bride & Groom. Did Daffy get away? Who knows.
There's all kinds of love in Warner Brother cartoons, even a few marriage scenes.. fun lessons on Love'... if they don't blow up when you try to sneak a kiss, as happens to Bugs Bunny, constantly. I know a few who refer to their spouse as "the ball & chain"... funny - if it's not true. Marriage can absolutely feel like a ball and chain - & that's why Warner Brother cartoonists depicted it- long ago. Ah... Love. Who do you think of when it comes to classic cartoons - I bet it's Pepe.
Anyhow- a reminder that there is all kinds of love - you just have to keep looking, sooner or later- you will find the perfect partner, if Taz can do it - you can too.
