Origin[]
Casper is a caveman who is accompanied by his pet dinosaur Fido. He went out looking for food and found Daffy Duck.
Casper is grouchy, mean, violent, irritable, and short-tempered due to his hunger, Fido's incompetence, and Daffy's manic craziness. After many attempts to eat Daffy, he eventually reaches a giant overinflated rubber duck balloon pumped up by Daffy. He is terrified, but Daffy hands Casper a knife with which to stab the duck. Casper does so, and the ensuing explosion kills them all.
The three lounge on clouds in angel garb. Fido plays a harp while Daffy and Casper lament their mistakes. Daffy says, "You know, maybe that wasn't such a hot idea after all," and Casper says, "Good night, folks."
