Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24½ Century is a 1980 animated short film starring Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and Marvin the Martian. It is the sequel to the 1953 cartoon Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century. It was the first Daffy and Porky cartoon since 1965. This cartoon first premiered on November 20, 1980, as part of an animated NBC television special called Daffy Duck's Thanks-for-Giving Special, with scenes that would later be cut when this cartoon was reformatted as a short. The final credited work of Michael Maltese (who would die only three months following the short's original broadcast), the majority of Maltese's storyboards (including a duel between Marvin and Daffy and the return of K-9, who features prominently within the boards) nonetheless went unused within the finished short. The only parts written by Maltese that remained in the final product is the problem of the lack of the element that produces yo-yo polish (called flexonite in the boards) and Gossamer being shaven (albeit with Porky using hair clippers instead of Daffy singing The Song of the Marines to Gossamer and his weakness being barbers instead of music).
