Quotes from
Daffy Duck:
Would it be too much to ask if we could make up our minds, hmmmm?
Daffy Duck: [after his parachute is turned into an anvil and he crashes to the ground, he is beating on the anvil with a hammer and babbling a passage from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's: The Village Smithy] "Under a spreading chestnut-tree, The village smithy stands; The smith, a mighta-ty man is he, With strong and sinewy..."
[while he is doing this, the anvil is erased and is replaced with a WWII type bomb pointing straight up. After a few more hits, the bomb explodes]
Daffy Duck: ...H-Hands...
[Daffy finally shakes himself off]
Daffy Duck: All right. Enough is enough. This is the final, the - the very, very last straw! Who's responsible for this? This... I demand that you show yourself! Who are you? Huh?
[as he's venting, a doorway with an open door is drawn around him, then the door is pushed closed by the eraser]
Daffy Duck: [looking at corny background] That's dandy! Ho-Ho that's rich, I'll say!
[yells]
Daffy Duck: Now how 'bout some color, stupid?
[Artist draws Daffy in wild, polka-dot colors]
Daffy Duck: [in a rage] Mmmmp...
[rants wildly]
Daffy Duck: Not me you slop artist!

Facts about
This cartoon nearly didn't get made because there was resistance to the idea of using Bugs Bunny in such a limited role near the end.
According to Chuck Jones, the revelation of the animator in the ending is just for comedic value - Jones (the director) is speaking to the audience directly, asking "Who is Daffy Duck anyway? Would you recognize him if I did THIS to him?"
Released in 1953, but completed and copyrighted in 1951. During this late forties-early fifties period, Warner Bros., MGM and Disney/RKO stockpiled many cartoons, releasing them a year or two after completion.
