The short-tempered Daffy Duck must improvise madly as the backgrounds, his costumes, the soundtrack, even his physical form, shifts and changes at the whim of the animator.
Although I was never big on Looney Tunes, I saw most of them. Maybe all of them. And some are clearly more memorable than others. This has to rank among the most memorable of all, because it just had such a strange approach to the whole idea of cartoons.
Maybe now it is not too odd to break the fourth wall, or manipulate cartoons. It has happened. And in some cases, they sure have gotten much stranger. But Daffy as that weird flower creature? What the heck is that? Chuck Jones (or whomever) was going beyond Dali and others and just being quite surreal.
