Some
may wonder where Daffy got the wonderful way of speech,
there's a story behind that. It is said the voice is based
on producer Leon Schlesinger. Meant as a joke, he (Leon)
was asked what he thought of the voice by the Termite
Terrace staff, Leon was quoted to say " Jethuth Critht
thath's a funny voithe! Where'd ya get that voithe "?
He never had a clue that it was his way of speech. Director
Tex Avery's Termite Terrace Staff included Bob Clampett,
Sid Sutherland, Virgil Ross, and Chuck Jones.
In
the early years, Daffy was a hyperactive, aggressive and
overbearing duck. In contrast, Porky Pig was mild mannered
and shy. They became an established team and made many
appearances together. Audiences easily related to this
epic struggle between the unpredictable little black duck
and this pleasant, chubby pig. Not to say that Porky never
stood up for himself, an example of this is in their first
cartoon. After Daffy had inverted the role of hunter and
pray, frustration set in until Porky pulled out a sheat
of paper, waved it in the offenders face and shouts, "
Th-th-that's not in the script! "
