Tweety and Sylvester #15 published December 1956 Notes:
A highly unusual entry as Western Publishing text stories go, in that Daffy Duck is very much in his “fast-talking huckster” mode, as is often seen in the theatrical animated shorts directed by Robert McKimson, as opposed to the shiftless-yet-clever moocher persona typically offered by Western’s comics. The Duck is given much double-talking nonsensical dialogue that one could easily hear being swiftly spoken by voice actor Mel Blanc. As a topper, the single illustration of Daffy and Beaky Buzzard that accompanies this text story is drawn by Tony Strobl, who very rarely draws Daffy Duck – but, when he does, draws him in the "Big-Beaked Robert McKimson style”.
