Painting of Daffy Duck as Duck Dodgers from the two-part second season finale “Of Course You Know This Means War and Peace,” 2005. Jesse Silver rendered this in oils from a layout drawing I provided (see last post to see drawing).

Drawing I made for the portrait Duck Dodgers (Daffy Duck) commissioned for himself, in the big two-part second season finale “Of Course You Know This Means War and Peace,” 2005. For those from Chicagoland of a certain age, you might notice that this composition is an homage to the portrait of Garfield Goose, which hung on the “Family Classics” set. Check out tomorrow’s post to see the finished painting.

Daffy Duck made after the likeness of a Garfield Goose painting from the set of WGN’s “Family Classics.” This painting by Jesse Silver of artwork I pencilled, found its way into episodes of “Duck Dodgers” and “The Looney Tunes Show.”
