That's not entirely fair to Pierce, but you can see what he's talking about here -- Jones would speed up his timing over the next few years, but Maltese gives him a cartoon that's full of gags, to where you never feel as if there's a dead spot, where Chuck's just using poses to bide his time until the next gag comes along.<br /><br />(The short also owes a little to Mike's story for "The Wabbit Who Came To Supper" in that in both of them, the comedy comes at first out of the frustration for Porky and Elmer in not being able to attack Daffy or Bugs, until the moment that the suddenly can. The difference is Jones can play out Daffy's angst while with Bugs, we don't want to see Elmer having the advantage over him, so in that cartoon Maltese and Freleng immediately shift to the chase and new tricks by the rabbit.)J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.com
