 For some reason, the identity of the black duckling in this short  has prompted much debate among cartoon fans as to whether or not it  is in fact Daffy Duck. Supporters of the idea claim it is Daffy due  to the characters similar color design (such as the white collar  around the neck), while naysayers say that if it was supposed to be  Daffy then it would have been made a little more clearer in design  or by having him speak. It should be noted that the books about  Warner Bros. animation history has never addressed this, nor has it  ever been confirmed either way. However, in the Looney Tunes Golden  Collection DVD commentary Michael Barrier clearly states that it is  Daffy after all.
