Comic Mint is pleased to offer Looney Tunes fans this rare animation production cel from "The Night of the Living Duck", which is a six minute 1987-animated, 1988-released Merrie Melodies cartoon starring Daffy Duck, directed by Greg Ford and Terry Lennon. It was released to theatres as a part of Daffy Duck's Quackbusters on September 24, 1988.

Sadly, this is the LAST Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoon where Mel Blanc provided the voices one of the various Looney Tunes characters before his death the following year.

This is a one-of-a-kind, hand-inked and hand-painted production cel that was filmed under the camera, and used in the making of this movie. Freeze-frame your DVD or Video, and you will see this unique piece of artwork!
The cel bears the official Warner Brothers gold seal (lower corner). The artwork is in excellent condition and comes fully matted, ready to pop into a frame!

STORYLINE:
Daffy Duck is reading a scary comic book called "Hideous Tales" (issue #176). The story ends in a cliffhanger, and Daffy rifles his bookcase looking for the next issue ("It's a veritable collector's item!"). A Smodzilla clock falls, and beans Daffy, making him think he's the featured act in a nightclub. All the customers at the nightclub are classic movie monsters. Fortunately, there was a bottle of "Eau de Tormé" in Daffy's dressing room, which makes him sing like Mel Tormé. He sings "Monsters Lead Such Interesting Lives" to the room, and they love it. Then he goes around the room, greeting the patrons, but his good-natured ribbing of "Smogzilla" doesn't go over well with the giant lizard, who eats Daffy. Daffy wakes up, to find himself stuck in a wastebasket, along with the comic he was looking for (Hideous Tales issue #177), with "Smodzilla" on the cover. Daffy scoffs, and the shodzilla on the cover comes to life, saying, "You were expecting maybe Calvin Coolidge?"
