Pig and duck nip and tuck delivery service is a thing?!

'TIS INDEED!!!!! ...AS FAR AS CARTOONS GO, not in real life, but considering how the events of the short go the world is much much much better off for that being the case

thank you for offering me the opportunity to shill one of my favorite Anythings yet again... and for those who have not seen Baby Bottleneck please take the 7 minutes out of your day to watch it. there it is right at your finger tips!!!!! click it! CLICK IT! this cartoon sent me into heart palpitations so intensely for the first time i genuinely thought i was having a heart attack and on the verge of calling my parents the first time i saw it. it thusly has my favorite scene(s) out of anything ever made in the whole wide world, this attached video being among them... so if you haven't seen it I BEG! I PLEAD I GROVEL I CRY I IMPLORE. WATCH THIS CARTOON!!!! it's so so so so so so so so so so wonderful and so so so so so so so so so so important to me.

also please take the time to admire the wonderful details of Rod Scribner's animation such as a) Daffy throwing down the phones with such force that they actually swivel around on their axes and b) count how many times Daffy's hat changes positions/rotates on his head

#i've explained these references before but don't want to get too exhaustive so i'll relegate it to the tags here BUT #Bing is Bing Crosby by the time this short was out he had 4 sons #Mr Cantor is Eddie Cantor who had 5 girls and his desire to have a son became a running gag on the radio #Clampett himself parodied this by making an entire cartoon out of it with 1940's Slap Happy Pappy (of which Bing and his sons make an #appearance to politely mock Eddie)#Mr. Dionne is Oliva-Édouard Dionne whose wife gave birth to the first quintuplets to live past infancy #so the implication here is that Mr. Dionne is asking for quintuplets which (to Daffy's understanding) is essentially a death wish which is #why he's so mortified #anonymous #asks
