Phil Monroe/Maurice Noble, the Iceman Ducketh, USA 1964
And things are nearing the end. This was going to be directed by Chuck Jones but he left Warner Bros by this point (although there was some uncredited work).
This would also be the last official short Bugs would have with Daffy until the 90s.
Up in the Klondike, Daffy notices how much cash trappers earned for pelts. Ignoring the manager's warning that the season is over due to winter, Daffy marches around in the snow for Bugs.
Much to his regret, he finds him.
Bit like watching Sting VS Ric Flair circa the late 1990s. The whole premise is a bit overdone, although I suppose Daffy taking the fight directly to Bugs rather than manipulating Elmer is novel. Some of the gags were clearly lifted from Wile E. and Roadrunner shorts giving it a whole rerun feel.
Decent but they could have gone out on a higher note.
