====Experimenting with Daffy 1951β1964==== While Daffy's looney days were over, McKimson continued to make him as bad or good as his various roles required him to be. Mckimson would often have Daffy play the role of a salesman who pushes a potential customer into buying something such as ''[[Fool Coverage]]'' (1952) where Daffy actually succeeds into selling Porky Pig a $1,000,000 accident policy which only works under impossible conditions which unfortunately for Daffy, all the conditions happen and ''[[The High and the Flighty]]'' (1956) where Daffy intervines with [[Foghorn Leghorn]] and the [[Barnyard Dawg]]'s usual antics by selling them novelty joke items to get back at each other, which the latter catch on and team up against Daffy to trap him in one of the prank kits he sold to them. McKimson would use this version of Daffy from 1946 to 1961. Although, even McKimson would follow in Jones' footsteps in many aspects with cartoons like ''[[People Are Bunny]]'' (1959) and ''[[Ducking the Devil]]'' (1957). Friz Freleng's version took a hint from Chuck Jones to make the duck more sympathetic, as in ''[[Show Biz Bugs]]'' (1957). Here, Daffy is overemotional and jealous of Bugs, yet he has real talent that is ignored by the theater manager and the crowd. This cartoon finishes with a sequence in which Daffy attempts to wow the Bugs-besotted audience with an act in which he drinks gasoline and swallows [[nitroglycerine]], [[gunpowder]], and [[uranium]]-238 (in a greenish solution), jumps up and down to "shake well" and finally swallows a lit match that detonates the whole improbable mixture. When Bugs tells Daffy that the audience loves the act and wants more, Daffy, now a [[ghost]] floating upward (presumably to Heaven), says that he can only do the act once. Some TV stations, and in the 1990s the cable network [[Turner Network Television|TNT]], edited out the dangerous act, afraid of imitation by young children.
