Tom Turk and Daffy
Short Information
Notes:	1.) Reports have circulated crediting Art Davis with direction of part or all of this cartoon. 2.) This is one of the earliest Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts to be written by two storymen instead of just one; in this case both Michael Maltese and Tedd Pierce wrote this cartoon. Neither are credited by their actual names; instead, they are credited as "The Staff" (probably due to the sparse on-screen credits of pre-"Hare Trigger" shorts).[citation needed] 3.) Tom Turk later reappeared in the 1949 Daffy Duck short "Holiday for Drumsticks", albeit redesigned and having a different voice.
