Introduced in the 1937 [[Porky Pig]] short ''[[wikipedia:Porky's Duck Hunt|Porky's Duck Hunt]]'', Daffy was the first of the new breed of "screwball" characters that emerged in the late 1930s to supplant traditional everyman characters, such as [[Mickey Mouse]] and [[Popeye]], who were more popular earlier in the decade. Daffy would appear in 129 shorts in the Golden Age of Animation, third among ''Looney Tunes''/''Merrie Melodies'' cartoons behind Porky Pig's 152 and Bugs Bunny's 166 appearances.
