"Draftee Daffy" is a 1945 Looney Tunes short, directed by Bob Clampett and starring Daffy Duck.The cartoon starts with Daffy reading the newspaper about the military making a "Smashing frontal attack on enemy rear", and is ecstatic about it. He marches around his house, singing praises about America and how he'd love to be in the military, fighting on the front lines—that is, until he receives a phone call that the "Little Man from the Draft Board" is on his way to deliver Daffy his draft notice. Initially eager, Daffy immediately gets cold feet about the idea of actually going to war, and when the little man in question arrives to give Daffy his card, the waterfowl tries everything in his power to try and evade him... | |

Miles Gloriosus: Daffy, natch. He spends the first couple of minutes of the short singing about how cool it would be to be a soldier, until he actually gets a draft order, and then he laments that he will be sent to the front and spends the rest of the short trying to dodge the draft. | |

Dirty Coward: Daffy starts off as a fair weather patriot singing praises about the military, only to chicken out at the very idea of actually going off to war. | |

Darker and Edgier: A cartoon about draft-dodging during the biggest war? Granted, it shows dodging the draft to be in the wrong, but this was pushing the boundary on a sensitive topic... | |

Laser-Guided Karma: After trying to avoid him throughout the entire cartoon, Daffy traps the little man from the draft board in a safe and builds a wall by the safe, so he won’t get out and Daffy would avoid getting drafted. It ends with him being sent to Hell, and adding insult to injury, the little man from the draft board is waiting for him. | |

Oh, Crap!: Daffy has this reaction when he realizes he's about to get drafted into the military. He has more of this reaction whenever he spots the Little Man or realizes the Little Man managed to get one over on him. | |

Black Bead Eyes: The Little Man generally has these, but when Daffy first sees him through the keyhole of his door, all we see is an extreme close-up of the Little Man's eye, drawn hyper-realistically with sclerae, an iris and lashes. | |
