A Mid-Summer Night's Scream

Story on Interior Page(s)

Subject Matter

Genres: anthropomorphic

Character(s): Daffy Duck; Elmer Fudd; hotel desk clerk; angry guy

First Line: Sufferin' succotash! There must be more comfortable places to sleep than a park bench, but offhand I can't think of where it would be!

Synopsis: On a very hot night, Elmer decides to sleep in an air-conditioned hotel rather than in his uncomfortable house. Daffy, who's having troubles of his own trying to sleep on a park bench, stows away in Elmer's suitcase to also enjoy the comforts of the hotel. When Elmer tries to kick out his unwanted guest, an angry guy in the next room, disturbed by the ruckus - and who is also an animal lover, "clonks" Elmer on the head and declares: "If I hear you hurting that duck again, I'll throw you out of the hotel! Understand?" Now, Daffy does his best to antagonize Elmer and get the angry guy to return.

Notes: Dialogue and situations are "Maltese-ian"! Similar in tone to the 1947 Warner Bros. theatrical animated short "A Pest in the House", directed by Chuck Jones and co-written by Michael Maltese. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039700/ Though, in the cartoon, Elmer and Daffy are employees of the hotel and the "angry guy" is more of a big bruiser who repeatedly socks hotel manager Elmer in the face for every disturbance caused by overeager bellhop Daffy.

This story's "angry guy" is more of a squat-but-tough, bad-tempered character who, in basic appearance, resembles Friz Freleng's "Little Big Nose Guy" from the Pink Panther theatrical animated shorts - though more detailed and less "minimalist" in design.

This angry guy also appears in the very next story in this issue - owing, most likely, to Phil De Lara drawing having drawn every Daffy Duck story in this entire book. De Lara would later draw the actual "Little Big Nose Guy" when Western/Gold Key would begin publishing a Pink Panther comic book series in 1971.

Miscellaneous

Pages: 3.5

Notes: The first "o" in the word "Goof" in the title "A Day on the Goof Course" takes the form of a golf ball.

This story's "angry guy golfer" is the same character who appeared in the previous story. In basic appearance, he resembles Friz Freleng's "Little Big Nose Guy" from the Pink Panther theatrical animated shorts - though more detailed and less "minimalist" in design. Artist Phil De Lara would later draw the actual "Little Big Nose Guy" when Western/Gold Key would begin publishing a Pink Panther comic book series in 1971.

Dialogue and situations are "Maltese-ian"!

GOOD BIT: Daffy approaches the angry guy golfer, tapping him on the back:

DAFFY: "How about it, Mister? Free golf lessons?"
ANGRY GUY: "Huh?"

ANGRY GUY (puzzled): "But, you're a DUCK!"
DAFFY (fast talking): "It's too late to do anything about that now! How about the free golf lessons?"
