Storyline
For no apparent reason, Porky Pig is awarded the grand prize of the "What's the Name of Your Name" game show. Unfortunately, the prize is Daffy Duck, whose tactless and rude visit gets him tossed out Porky's house by the irate pig. Insulted, Daffy decides to get back at Porky by pretending to have dissociative identity disorder, becoming a hideous monster whenever he's treated unpleasantly. When Porky eventually finds out he's been had, he decides to give the duck a taste of his own medicine. Written by Ondre Lombard <olombard@lombard.cyberverse.com>

Porky Pig: Yes?
Daffy Duck: I'm sorry you did that to me. People shouldn't push me around. It isn't good for me.
Porky Pig: Oh, f-f-fiddlesticks. And why not?
Daffy Duck: Because I'm a split personality, that's why not. I'm two people in one. A schiz... a schiz... a schizophreniac. When people are nice to me, I'm sweet, gentle, and loving.

Daffy and Porky shine in this rarely seen Robert McKimson short made in the same vein as the previous year's "The Ducksters." Daffy arrives at Porky's home as a prize from a radio contest, but is soon removed after wrecking the house. Within a minute, Daffy works his way back in the house, claiming to be a psychopath with multiple personalities who must be treated nicely or else. The short has a strange atmosphere, not to mention it tends not to use as many recycled gags as many other Warner cartoons have been known to do. McKimson uses the late '40's version of Daffy, the one that's really short with wild eyes, which adds to the flavor of the cartoon.
