September 18, 1943 –
The Merrie Melodies short, A Corny Concerto, directed by Bob Clamplett, and starring Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd and Daffy Duck(?),was released on this date.
The identity of the black duckling in this short has prompted much debate among cartoon fans as to whether or not it is, in fact, Daffy Duck. Supporters of the idea claim it is Daffy due to the character’s similar color design (such as the white band around the neck), while naysayers say that if it was supposed to be Daffy then it would have been made more clear in his appearance or by having him speak.
