After watching "The Daffy Doc", some amusing hospital gags were thought up and the decision to make a short to use them came up. They borrowed a lot from "The Daffy Doc", that evident, but the ideas and gags were pretty well executed. I know many people who like this one as much as the original.Bam Bamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17734275164792151128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589696115267272664.post-82388521558961442332013-08-21T17:48:31.069-07:002013-08-21T17:48:31.069-07:00We're still in the period where Clampett's...We're still in the period where Clampett's stuck having to use Porky in every short and is desperately trying to do work-arounds. The main problem with the cat is he only seems to be there to make the borrowing from "The Daffy Doc" slightly less obvious (and after 'Daffy Cat', we'll get 'Daffy Fish' coming up in "The Sour Puss" -- Bob must have Woo Woo-ed all over the studio lot a few months later, when Leon decided everyone has to make color and B&W cartoons and Porky didn't have to be in every Looney Tune anymore).J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589696115267272664.post-71113636233366805832013-08-21T17:18:09.334-07:002013-08-21T17:18:09.334-07:00Now if they had just the gag involving the iron lu...Now if they had just the gag involving the iron lung ...joecabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16862252671814767307noreply@blogger.com
