Name and role: Daffy's nephew, sadly nameless and doomed to obscurity, takes Bugs Bunny's place in the witch costume. It's just a recolor of the old scene, and possibly due to a goof, part of his face isn't recolored properly and stays white. His legs are orange, unlike Bugs's white ones.
Trivia and other appearances: This was the first and only appearance of the mysterious young duckling, an unsung hero of the Looney Tunes lore, gone before he even had a proper name.
