Stupor Duck is a 1956 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes animated short directed by Robert McKimson.[1] It was released on July 7, 1956, and stars Daffy Duck in a Superman spoof.[2]
Plot
Daffy Duck plays the roles of Stupor Duck and Cluck Trent in a parody of The Adventures of Superman. Mistakenly believing a soap opera villain named Aardvark Ratnik is real, Cluck transforms into Stupor Duck to combat the non-existent threat. Hilarity ensues as Stupor Duck tackles imagined disasters, from rescuing a sinking ship to stopping a supposed missile launch, all while inadvertently causing chaos. Eventually, Daffy finds himself clinging to a rocket, naked and screaming, as it heads toward the moon.
Production notes
Stupor Duck was created by Warner Bros. in collaboration with DC Comics, back when DC was known as National Comics Publications. This partnership occurred before Warner Bros.' merger with DC Comics in 1969.
