utgard14 Hilarious western parody directed by Chuck Jones and starring Daffy Duck as a "western type hero" and Porky as his "comedy relief" sidekick. The duo try to bring law to a lawless town which doesn't sit well with notorious outlaw Nasty Canasta. Porky sings an amusing song called "The Flower of Gower Gulch." So many funny parts of this one. Love all the signs for the people and places. The horse wearing a mask and holding up the blacksmith for horseshoes may be the most priceless gag I've seen all year. Some very funny dialogue from Daffy. Great voice work from Mel Blanc. Lively music from Carl Stalling. The animation is excellent with nice colors and well-drawn characters, backgrounds, and action. It's a real classic; one of my favorite Daffy & Porky shorts.
TheLittleSongbird Drip-Along Daffy is great fun from start to finish. While it is essentially a nice cartoon, a lot of it is hilarious. Helped hugely by some excellent artwork and a rousing Western theme tune, the plot tells of Daffy, portrayed as a rather inept hero trying to clean up "the one horse town" and his struggles with Nasty Canasta. A vast majority of the gags are verbal, and delivered flawlessly by Mel Blanc. But the scene with the drinks is absolutely hilarious and the showdown is a real treat.While Daffy serves his part well as the inept hero, it is Porky really who steals the show as his sidekick. Particularly when he uses a miniature toy nutcracker to help Daffy to defeat Nasty Canasta. Overall, this cartoon is very enjoyable. 8/10 Bethany Cox
ccthemovieman-1 The graphics set this one up. We see decked-out cowboy Daffy Duck riding on a beautiful horse and the screen reads: "Western-type hero." Following him is Porky Pig riding a donkey. It says, "Comic Relief." Then, after some Monument Valley-type scenery, we see "Lawless Small Town." The sign says, "Snake-Bite Center: population 350, which quickly changes to 349 followed by another sign that comes out saying, "sheriff wanted." The next thing we see is the cemetery where the sign reads, "Population: 23,472,987 sheriffs."You get the picture. This is a rough town where the small ice-cream booth is called "Custard's Last Stand" and horses are even shooting each other!Daffy is going to clean up this "one-horse town." Well, he does...... sort of. This is one of the funniest cartoons I have ever seen - just fabulous. Great artwork, too!
bob the moo Daffy Duck is the `western hero type' and Porky Pig his `comedy relief' sidekick. They arrive in a `typical lawless town' to find violence and lawlessness is rife. Things get off to a shaky start but Daffy soon learns that all the crime comes from one man - a man that Daffy must face up to.I'm a really big fan of Daffy Duck and always feel that he is at his best when he is in his early persona of being manic and wacky. Even when he becomes more cynical and greedy he still manages to be one of my favourite Warner Brothers characters. Here he is played as a bit of a pompous duck, so a touch of his later side here; he is the butt of most of the gags as he tries to be heroic but really flops. The material is reasonably good as he is defeated again and again by the main outlaw; it isn't hilarious but Daffy takes it well.He doesn't carry the film himself though; in fact Porky actually does a great deal of the hard work and manages to slowly steal the cartoon from under Daffy. Daffy is still good though, but the fact that he is the joke here takes away from him being the leading character. The outlaw is a nice bit of stereotypical animation and works on that level - but you wouldn't call him a character in that way.Overall this isn't hilarious but it works as a nice little western spoof. As a Daffy fan it was difficult to see him being the brunt of every joke here, but he works it well. Not a great example of Daffy at his best but still worth seeing; Porky also continues his habit of stealing scenes from Daffy despite always playing a minor role.
