1987 -animated,1988 -released "Merrie Melodies"cartoon starringDaffy Duck , directed by Greg Ford and Terry Lennon.Plot
Daffy Duck is reading a scary comic book. The story ends in a cliffhanger, and Daffy rifles his bookcase looking for the next issue. A Smodzilla clock falls, and beans Daffy, making him think he's the featured act in a nightclub. All the customers at the nightclub are classic movie monsters. Fortunately, there was a bottle of "Eau de Tormé" in Daffy's dressing room, which makes him sing likeMel Tormé . He sings "Monsters Lead Such Interesting Lives" to the room, and they love it. Then he goes around the room, greeting the patrons, but his good-natured ribbing of "Smogzilla" doesn't go over well with the giant lizard, who eats Daffy. Daffy wakes up, to find himself stuck in a wastebasket, along with the comic he was looking for, with "Smodzilla" on the cover. Daffy scoffs, and the cover comes to life, saying, "You were expecting maybeCalvin Coolidge ?"Trivia
