Daffy Duck is Immortal

Daffy Duck is immortal.  The question naturally arises of how I know this fact, but people it was right before our eyes the whole damn time.  Think about how many times Daffy gets shot by Elmer Fudd in the whole duck season rabbit season trilogy and try to convince me otherwise.  I dare ya.  Daffy gets shot countless times in the face and the only consequence is that is beak gets shifted around or falls to the floor.  On occasion his eyes become bloodshot but that’s usually the worst fate to befall poor old Daffy.   Naturally, Daffy Duck is perturbed at being constantly shot by our dimmed witted gamesman, but I’d wager that his anger does not stem from the fact that he is in a great deal of pain or near death.  His anger stems from the fact that he, rather than Bugs Bunny, was shot.  After every shot to the beak, Daffy is able to rebound in a few seconds proving that either Daffy Duck is an immortal being or/and Elmer Fudd has incredibly weak but showy bullets.  I lean towards the first answer because in all these cartoons, Bugs Bunny is trying his hardest to not get shot in the face.  Plus, at the end of “Duck, Rabbit, Duck”, Daffy gets shot by 10-15 odd hunters with different guns and still makes it out alive.  Furthermore, if Elmer Fudd had truly useless bullets, Bugs would not exert maximum effort on those disguises and schemes to escape a not all that grim fate. 

There is the possibility of a third theory which proposes that Bugs Bunny recognizes the ineffectiveness of the bullets, but Elmer Fudd does not.  So to prevent Elmer Fudd from acquiring new shells and lethal ammo, Bugs keeps up this ruse.  The worst that will come out of failing with the fake bullets will be Fudd’s recognition that he is using faulty equipment and the game starts for real now.  But I don’t buy this theory because I’m pretty sure Daffy Duck would expose Elmer Fudd to his shoddy arsenal.  The bullets I say are real and Bugs Bunny is a mortal rabbit.  His mortality has forced him to adopt a clever, outwitting personality to ensure his survival.  Daffy Duck is an immortal.  He can be careless and greedy because he doesn’t have to deal with any major consequences.  Bugs Bunny must always be on edge for he lacks the luxury of immortality.   Daffy has been hit head on time and time again and still makes it out to call Bugs “despicable”.  Why Daffy Duck has it in for Bugs Bunny is a mystery, but I assume it comes out of a combination of jealousy and insecurity. 

In conclusion Daffy Duck is immortal and I’m ashamed I didn’t catch that one earlier.  That’s some egg on my face.
