Daffy Duck Slept Here is a 1948 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon, directed by Robert McKimson.[2] The cartoon was released on March 6, 1948, and stars Porky Pig and Daffy Duck.[3]
Plot
Porky Pig, amidst a bustling city with no available hotel rooms due to a convention, reluctantly shares his lodging with the boisterous and irritating Daffy Duck. Throughout the night, Daffy's disruptive behavior escalates, culminating in Porky's frustration and eventual retaliation by confining Daffy in a pillowcase and discarding him out of the window. Undeterred, Daffy returns, intent on revenge.
Exploiting Porky's drowsiness, Daffy deceives him into believing he is boarding a train, only to witness Porky's departure on an actual locomotive. Despite his annoyance, Daffy expresses amusement at the situation, remarking on Porky's lack of reading material for the journey.
Production notes
The title is a play on the cliché, "George Washington slept here." The film is a sequel to 1947's A Pest in the House, which also features Daffy disturbing a hotel patron's sleep.
