About Looney Tunes: The Impatient Patient (1942)
The Impatient Patient is a 1942 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Norman McCabe. The cartoon was released on September 5, 1942, and stars Daffy Duck.
While traipsing through the Ookaboochie Swamps, Daffy Duck seeks to deliver a telegram to "Chloe". Unable to find the telegram's recipient, and suffering from a severe case of hiccups, he stumbles upon the home of "Dr. Jerkyl" and hopes that the physician can cure his condition. Daffy's hiccups are so severe that they cause him to damage or destroy everything around him. Dr. Jerkyl captures Daffy and restrains him to a doctor's chair. Hoping to scare Daffy in order to cure his hiccups, Dr. Jerkyl creates and drinks a potion that turns him into Chloe, a grotesque ogre.
