"Boobs in the Woods" is a 1948 animated Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon, released in January 1950, directed by Robert McKimson, and starring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. Porky is out to try and enjoy the great outdoors—but not if Daffy has anything to do with it.

Plot

After establishing Daffy's "daffy" nature (by having him wander through a countryside singing a nonsense song to the tune of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" and doing silly things), he dives into a lake. Later, Porky pulls up and sets up camp, intending to enjoy the countryside. He first tries making a painting, but is stopped when Daffy poses, "cluttering up" the scenery. Daffy bicycles out on an invisible bike (a noticeable goof is when he says "So long, Rembrandt", Daffy's mouth does not move). Daffy then comes back in and tells Porky that, although he does not want "his" lake painted, "the mountains are okay; I don't own them". As he walks off, Daffy comes back in again, dressed as "The old man in the mountains"—trying to get the mountains out of Porky's painting.

Porky sees through the disguise and tries to use a shotgun against Daffy—but Daffy runs out of scene and runs back in as a sheriff, who calls for an executioner. The sheriff walks out, and in walks Daffy as the executioner with an axe. At the last moment, Porky is "saved" by Pocahontas (again Daffy). However, when "Captain John Smith" doesn't agree to marry "her", Daffy starts making war whoops—until Porky shuts him up.

Porky then decides to try fishing, putting a bait attached to a bell. After fooling Porky twice by ringing the bell, Porky gets the better of Daffy, but Daffy then rings his own bell—only to be surprised when Porky does catch a fish! Daffy then asks about the various licenses Porky has (starting with a fishing license, and ending with "a license to sell hair tonic to bald eagles in Omaha, Nebraska"). When Daffy asks if Porky has a marriage license, Porky replies that he is not married, which prompts Daffy to ask "How about you and me go steady?" Porky gets annoyed yet again and tries throwing a rock at Daffy, but Daffy makes out like they're in a baseball game, and encourages Porky as Joe DiMaggio to slide for home. Porky realizes too late that he's not really DiMaggio; "My name is P-P-P-P-m-mud."

Having had enough of Daffy, Porky then starts packing up his trailer, declaring he has to leave before he's driven "as nutty as th-th-th-that duck!" Daffy climbs into Porky's engine, throws out the engine and closes the hood. Porky tries starting the car, but gets Daffy's stalled motor sound. When Daffy makes the sound while Porky is out of the car, Porky jumps in, makes some adjustments, then climbs back in the car. Porky 'starts' the car again, pulling on the 'choke' lever, which causes a mechanical arm to pop out and choke Daffy, who is now wired in to the car and is powering it. Daffy mentions that Porky has absolutely no right to do this—until yet another license pops out, showing that Porky does, indeed, have a license to use Daffy as a motor!

Censorship

*Cartoon Network temporarily aired this cartoon with the entire Pocahontas scene removed after Porky is ostensibly sentenced to a beheading. When this cartoon aired on a weekend showing of "The Acme Hour" in 2002, the Pocahontas scene was shown uncut and was shown that way on other installment shows ever since [http://looney.goldenagecartoons.com/ltcuts/ltcutsb.html]

*The ABC airing of this cartoon not only cut the Pocahontas sequence, but also cut out several shots of Daffy being strangled when he is being used as Porky's car engine. [http://looney.goldenagecartoons.com/ltcuts/ltcutsb.html]

Daffy's song

This is the song Daffy sings to open the short:

“Oh, people call me Daffy,::They think that I am gooney,::But just because I'm happy::Is no sign I'm Looney Tuney!

Oh, when they say I'm nutsy,::It sure gives me a pain!::Please pass the ketchup.::I think it's going to rain!

Oh, you can't bounce a meatball;::Don't try with all your might.::Turn on the radio,::I want to fly a kite!

Good evening, friends!”

Here, he dives underwater and erects a sign reading “SEE YOU LATER!”
