Daffy Duck for President is a children's book, published by Warner Bros. and the United States Postal Service in 1997 to coincide with the release of the first Bugs Bunny U.S. postage stamp. The book was written and illustrated by Chuck Jones, edited by Charles Carney, and art directed by Allen Helbig.[1]

Plot

Echoing the popular "Rabbit Season/Duck Season" scenes from the Bugs Bunny/

United States Federal government
.

From the book's dust jacket:

"Bugs guides Daffy through the 3 branches of American government - the foundation of freedom - in a style so breezy and comic that you'd never confuse it with a civics lesson. Or would you? In keeping with the explosive fun of the author's art, Daffy Duck for President is presented in its original sketch form. It's pure Chuck Jones - brash, witty, and reflective - in a bold flash of pencil, paper, and impulse."[1]

Film

In 2004, Warner Bros. released a four-minute animated short of the same name based on the book, coinciding with the

Best Animated Short. Joe Alaskey voiced Bugs and Daffy.[4] It was also planned for a worldwide theatrical release, but these plans were aborted after Looney Tunes: Back in Action performed poorly at the box office. However, it saw its eventual release as a bonus feature on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 2 DVD set. The short is also available as a bonus feature on The Essential Daffy Duck DVD set.[2]
