Duck Dodgers...is an almost excellent cartoon for me

A lot of comments are saying this is one of the best cartoons ever. I'm not going to go that far but I give credit again to Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese for making some of the most creative cartoons in the history of animation. Loved the back and forth between Daffy and Marvin in trying to one-up each other whether it's claiming Planet X for Earth or Mars, pulling disintegrating guns on each other (with Daffy's actually literally disintegrating!), or passing bullets from their guns with threatening messages with Daffy's last one saying "Ouch!" And space cadet Porky once again proves how smarter than Daffy he really is. So while I don't think Duck Dodgers in the 24 and a Half Century is a great cartoon, it's certainly a very good one.
