I am curious to know how you came to like Daffy and Porky so much. :-)

HMMMM... a myriad of reasons (because nothing can ever be simple huh?) but i think the biggest is just "i relate to them and think they're funny"

there IS something funny about saying you (in a general sense) relate to LT characters since they're so often vehicles for gags and humor BUT I DO HAHA. i relate to Daffy's overzealousness and always living at every extreme/a little TOO passionate and emotional, as well as always social and a little annoying, and i relate to Porky's very oblivious/gullible but good-hearted nature, being stubborn/persnickety and Just Kinda Weird and unintentionally eccentric in general LOL. i guess that's a very bare bones example but i'm also scratching my head here like wait...... how DO i relate to these 85 year old barnyard animals who just blow each other up... but i do! they're my buds

AAAAND when i got into LT i originally wanted to get into it for Bugs (THAT WORKED OUT WELL HUH) but got sidetracked and binged all of Bob Clampett's work first, and since Clampett's first 4 years of filmography were nothing but black and white Porky (and the occasional Daffy) cartoons i got attached to them very quickly through that; i thought the fact that these cartoons were in black and white and so DIFFERENT than what i was used to was really fascinating and that fascination has always stuck with me. i'm definitely apologetic of a lot of Porky cartoons i know are bad/mediocre but i love anyway HAHA i'm just really entertained by him in general. Porky's general existence is genuinely fascinating and hilarious to me (and not in a "haha look at the funny pig stutter" way, but more so "i think the way Porky carries himself and acts the way he does naturally is absolutely hilarious and a joke in itself, even when its not intended to be") and the same can be said for Daffy too, though much of my fascination from him comes from actual things he does and says rather than just merely existing

LIKE. a few weeks ago i watched Ali-Baba Bound which is a not very fantastic Clampett-Porky cartoon (racism aside), but i found myself going "oh my god, Porky said 6 lines in this short instead of 2!! he made a reference to Blondie and i understood it! THIS IS FANTASTIC!" and had to pause and ask myself what i was even saying. that usually goes for most mediocre Porky cartoons with me

Daffy i'm much more picky about because i'm more passionate about him/maintaining the depictions i like most so to speak, but i've just always really resonated with him (not counting the later Chuck Jones/Friz Freleng versions because that makes me look terrible and not what i have in mind when i say that HAHAHAHA). he's my favorite cartoon character! i've gone into it in depth before and will again when i can articulate it more clearly but i can relate to him a lot, and i've always been taken in with his charisma/social nature and fascinated by history

AND LIKE. they're my brand at this point, everyone knows me as That Porky and Daffy Guy (including my co-workers, the first Zoom meeting i ever attended my coworker said "i didn't recognize you because you weren't a duck!") and i don't see my interest fading anytime soon

my interest in LT isn't purely for Porky and Daffy, it's the history behind it and the people who made these characters so great more than anything, BUT with that said...i'd be lying if i said the reason why i watch 90% of modern LT media wasn't because that Daffy and/or Porky were in it in some capacity

when in doubt:
