>Daffy first appeared in Porky's Duck Hunt, released on April 17, 1937. The cartoon was directed by Tex Avery and animated by Bob Clampett. Porky's Duck Hunt is a standard hunter/prey pairing for which Leon Schlesinger's studio was famous, but Daffy **(barely more than an unnamed bit player in this short)** was something new to moviegoers: an assertive, completely unrestrained, combative protagonist. Clampett later recalled:

> >"At that time, audiences weren't accustomed to seeing a cartoon character do these things. And so, when it hit the theaters it was an explosion. People would leave the theaters talking about this **daffy duck**."
