Thoughts

The elegant opening features layered images of trees and vines before transitioning into the cartoon style. Detailed art is used for the scientific equipment later in the short to great effect. These sections work very well because the setting is the focus without an animated character. The rest of the cartoon features sparer backgrounds. Dynamic characters benefit from spare backgrounds because neither is drawing focus.

Details

Daffy is a Western Union messenger seeking Chloe. He develops a terrible case of the hiccups. When he sees a sign for a doctor, he runs to the doctor for help. The doctor tries to help him with the "scare" cure. In the end, Daffy needs to reverse the doctor's transformation.
