The cover kind of struck me as like Daffy's upcoming "Coyote vs. ACME" appearance.

Also, this title had a crazy long run--from 1994 to late 2024/early 2025--even if I think a lot of that was reprinting itself. This story could've been re-run three times for all I know...From 1996, Looney Tunes #23, "This Isn't Your Life, Daffy Duck!" Written by Jack Enyart, pencils by Héctor Saavedra, inks by Rubén Torreiro.

Daffy finds himself in a situation like Reuben in American Flagg! where the project continues, but he gets cancelled. This being Daffy, he's actually managed to get fired from starring in his own life's story, which...is kind of an achievement, honestly. Since Warner Brothers' owned his likeness, there wasn't anything he could do about it; worse, Porky lets it slip that they're having open auditions for the role of Daffy, so every Tom, Dick, and Harry within earshot rushes to try out. (Or every Hippety, Charlie, and Hazel, among others!) Hmm, Daffy is consistently the butt of jokes in these, so you wouldn't think playing him would be a plum gig, but like I keep saying, it's work, baby, got to keep working it.

Crashing the set, Daffy interrupts Sylvester's audition in "Robin Hood Daffy" (a stone classic!) then Wile E. Coyote's in "Duck Amuck." The latter convinces him this is all somehow Bugs Bunny's doing; and definitely not because he told Warners "exactly where they could put their cameras, lights, and equipment!" This leads to another crashed audition, and a version of "Rabbit Seasoning" with Foghorn Leghorn, Henry Hawk, and Daffy arguing about who was a duck; which inevitably leads to Daffy getting shot by Yosemite Sam, who feels he nailed his audition anyway.

Finally getting to the head of the studio (via Duck Dodgers jetpack mishap) Daffy finds Bugs, who tells him his biopic was cancelled. Fuming, Daffy quits: this wasn't the only studio in town; but Bugs notes the other one already had a duck. 

The rest of this issue was a Bugs Bunny story and a couple shorts, but the lead feature is the highlight. Huh, I might'a been wrong: this series ran until #281, but I had thought more of that run was reprints. Earlier, we saw "Field of Screams" which had been reprinted in the series three times! I'm not sure "This Isn't Your Life, Daffy Duck!" was ever run again, but I'm not positive it wasn't, either. The series was "stealth cancelled" in 2025 but now might be the time to come back; although now I wonder if it's been continuing in some better country; like Finland has quietly reached issue #762 by now...
