Then, get to bed early so you can rise at dawn for the annual Minnesota Duck Hunting opener. I’m glad Daffy Duck learned Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody to express his distaste for the occasion, and even happier to discover that another enthusiast created a Looney Tunes mash-up animation for Mel Blanc’s brilliant novelty record of the Daffy Duck Rhapsody. After watching Daffy try to escape Elmer’s double-barreled chase, it’s safe to assume that Daffy would concur with the old maxim: “Duck hunting can never be called a ‘sport’ until the ducks are given guns and allowed to shoot back.”
