Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

... View MoreHilarious western parody directed by Chuck Jones and starring Daffy Duck as a "western type hero" and Porky as his "comedy relief" sidekick. The duo try to bring law to a lawless town which doesn't sit well with notorious outlaw Nasty Canasta. Porky sings an amusing song called "The Flower of Gower Gulch." So many funny parts of this one. Love all the signs for the people and places. The horse wearing a mask and holding up the blacksmith for horseshoes may be the most priceless gag I've seen all year. Some very funny dialogue from Daffy. Great voice work from Mel Blanc. Lively music from Carl Stalling. The animation is excellent with nice colors and well-drawn characters, backgrounds, and action. It's a real classic; one of my favorite Daffy & Porky shorts.
... View MoreWith an unmistakable Western theme, this Daffy Duck short is almost bursting with gags, some of them only all right, but most of them are very good! With the characters good, the plot good, the setting good and the jokes good - how else could this Daffy Duck episode live up to a good standard. Oh yes - why not the theme and the hero!? This episode introduces Daffy Duck as a "Western Type Hero" and Porky as a "Comedy Relief". Then a "Lawless Western Town" is introduced and as we see the town-folk are not doing well at all. Just when all hope seems lost, Daffy Duck shows up on his trusty steed with his sheriff star badge and he gallops to the rescue! He and Porky have got a very funny and surprising adventure ahead of them.Good for Daffy Duck fans interested in the little black duck's modern episodes and for people who like funny western cartoon shorts, enjoy "Drip-Along Daffy"! :-)
... View MoreFollowed-up by My Little Duckaroo, Drip-Along Daffy is one of my favorite cartoons. Daffy is the star, playing a Western-type hero who becomes sheriff of a town in disarray, accompanied by his one-man fanclub, comedy relief in Porky Pig. The antagonist is Nasty Canasta, the core of all the trouble. So if our inept hero can rid the town of Canasta in a one-on-one shootout, all the problems will be solved. With Daffy responsible for the fate of the town, the prospect seems bleak, doesn't it? The animation is excellent. Jones' simple use of subtle expressions is at its glorious best here. Canasta can't really be called a character since he's just a one-dimensional prop, part of the background for Daffy and the show-stealing Porky. For any fan of the greedy, overly confident Daffy, a must-see.
... View MoreEspecially the opening of this cartoon is terrific. Daffy Duck becomes sheriff in a town where someone gets shot every second, what we see in the opening sequence. Porky Pig is his helper. There is one big villain and in a man to man duel Daffy and the villain will decide who will live and who will not. Porky has an important role in that part.A very nice short with, like I said, an opening sequence that will make you laugh many times. The other parts of the short are nice, although not hilarious. With Daffy things do not go as planned and that gives Porky the chance to make us laugh a couple of times. A fun cartoon. Mel Blanc as the voice of Daffy Duck and Porky Pig.
