Stupor Duck is a 1956Warner Bros.Looney Tunes animatedsuperhero comedy short directed byRobert McKimson.[1] It was released on July 7, 1956, and starsDaffy Duck in aparody ofSuperman.[2]
Daffy Duck plays the roles of Stupor Duck and Cluck Trent in a parody ofThe Adventures of Superman. Mistakenly believing a soap opera villain named Aardvark Ratnik is real, Cluck transforms into Stupor Duck to combat the non-existent threat. Hilarity ensues as Stupor Duck tackles imagined disasters, from rescuing a sinking ship to stopping a supposed missile launch, all while inadvertently causing chaos. Eventually, Daffy finds himself clinging to a rocket, naked and screaming, as it heads toward the moon.
Stupor Duck was created by Warner Bros. in collaboration with DC Comics, back when DC was known asNational Comics Publications. This partnership occurred before Warner Bros.' merger withDC Comics in 1969.
