Daffy Duck is an animated cartoon character produced by Warner Bros. He has
appeared in cartoon series such as Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, where he
usually has been depicted as the best friend and occasional arch-rival of Bugs
Bunny. Daffy was one of the first of the new "screwball" characters that
emerged in the late 1930s to replace traditional everyman characters who were
more popular earlier in the decade, such as Mickey Mouse and
Popeye. Daffy starred in 133 shorts in the golden age, making him the
third-most frequent character in the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies
cartoons

Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck are a trio of fictional, anthropomorphic ducks who
appear in animated cartoons and comic books published by the Walt Disney
Company. Identical triplets, the three are Donald Duck's nephews. Huey, Dewey,
and Louie were the idea of Al Taliaferro, the artist for the Silly Symphonies
comic strip, which featured Donald Duck. The Walt Disney Productions Story
Dept. on February 5, 1937, sent Taliaferro a memo recognizing him as the source
of the idea for the planned short, Donald's Nephews.
