Chloe, the swamp song, 2 March 2007
7/10

In what must have been one of Daffy Duck's last black and white cartoons, he's looking for someone named Chloe, but gets the hiccups and goes to Dr. Jerkyl for a cure. Sure enough, Dr. Jerkyl transforms himself...into a big doofus named Chloe. Go figure! Apparently, the opening scene of Daffy calling for Chloe in a swamp, that's something that audiences in 1942 probably would have understood perfectly but has since lost all meaning. As I understand it, there was a song called something like "Chloe, the Swamp Song".

But even ignoring that, this is a fairly humorous cartoon. Granted, I like it better when Daffy gets paired with the other famous Looney Tunes, but he does OK here.

I guess that no one knows anyone else very well.
