Ducks Daffy and Donald are strung up by their webbed feet, dangling precariously above Taz’s boiling cauldron. You plead to let them go, but the Devil acquiesces to relinquish (in sputtering, broken English, natch) one. Which waterfowl do you spare??? ---

I’d boil the one with the speech impediment. ---

What kind of sauces are available? And, really, I’d convince Taz to roast, not boil. ---

I think Daffy would be more fun to hang out with than that wallflower, Donald. Oh and btw…, “Rabbit Season” ! ---

[Old Daffy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4BXyC3kHSU) was a hoot!\* His later renditions less so, but I still like him better than Donald. \*These were the ones where he would bounce around like a loon while yelling: “Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo” ---

Daffy is the funnier character but he’s also the bigger jerk and he wouldn’t do it for me. In he goes. ---

Donald appears to have more meat on him so . . . Also, I hate his stupid sailor suit. What a fop. ---

Boil Donald. He never showed a fraction of the brilliance Daffy displayed circa 1951-1965 with the parodies _Stupor Duck_, _Duck Dodgers in the 24½ Century_, _The Scarlet Pumpernickel_, _Rocket Squad_, _Robin Hood Daffy_, etc. ---

But Daffy never, ever won anything. It’s an essential part of his comic persona that nothing ever broke his way. Saving him from the pot would undermine his very reason for being. Daffy must be boiled precisely because it’s funnier if he is. ---

I can’t stand Donald. He’s a whining and annoying duck. If the result would be the end of Donald Duck I’d be all for it. However, since the likely result of dunking Daffy is that a boiled Daffy shaped duck climbs out of the cauldron and says “Of course, you realize this means war!”, then I want to see that. ---

Saving him from the pot would undermine his very reason for being. Daffy must be boiled precisely because it’s funnier if he is. Your logic is sound. I need to change my vote.
