Happy 76th Birthday, Daffy Duck

We want to wish our animated fowl a happy birthday; Daffy Duck first appeared in the cartoon "Porky Duck Hunts" on April 17, 1937. Somehow since he is known for an infamous duck hunting incident, we imagine this is not one of Dick Cheney's favorite cartoons. Amazingly enough, the former American vie president is four years younger than Daffy Duck.

One vintage line from Daffy Duck is in the cartoon "Duck Amuck" (1953): "Would it be too much to ask if we can make up our minds?, hmmmmmm...."

We are also going to wish Daffy Duck a happy birthday in six different languages:

1) gratulere med dagen (Norwegian)

2) z okazj urdzin (Polish; Poland is the home to one of the most famous non-American cartoons "Lolek and Bolek")

3) vsechno nejlepski (Czech)

4) buon compleanno (Italian)

5) gelukkige verjaardag (Dutch)

6) Tom Huledet (Hebrew)
