- December 4, 1943
Daffy Duck and Porky Pig star in the Looney Tunes episode "An Itch in Time," originally released in 1943. The short film follows the misadventures of Daffy and Porky as Daffy suddenly develops a severe case of the itchies.
The episode begins with Daffy lounging in a hammock when he suddenly starts itching. Unable to find the source of his discomfort, he seeks out Porky for help. Porky is clearly annoyed by Daffy's constant scratching but agrees to assist him in locating the cause of his itchiness.
Their search takes them to a nearby drugstore, where Porky recommends several medicines to alleviate Daffy's itch. Daffy tries them all with no success, and eventually becomes so desperate that he decides to visit a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist proves to be just as useless as the medicines, and Daffy quickly grows frustrated.
As Daffy continues to scratch himself raw, Porky grows increasingly irritated. The episode culminates in a wild chase sequence through the city, with Daffy and Porky racing through the streets in a desperate attempt to locate the source of the itchies.
Despite their best efforts, however, they are unable to solve the problem, and the episode ends with Daffy being completely consumed by the itchies.
"An Itch in Time" is a classic Looney Tunes episode that showcases the zany antics and sharp wit that made the series so beloved. With hilarious slapstick comedy and unforgettable characters, it's no wonder this episode has remained a fan favorite for over seven decades.
