Draftee Daffy is a 1945 Merrie Melodies Daffy Duck cartoon, directed by Robert Clampett.

Plot

Having read about the U.S. fighting forces pushing the Nazi troops back in World War II, Daffy is in a patriotic mood. However, his mood quickly changes to fear when he gets a call that 'the man from the draft board' wants to see him.

Hiding in his house, he looks out, eventually seeing a little man who attempts to hand him a telegram (presumably with Daffy's draft orders). Daffy continues to try and outrun the man from the draft board, who seems to be everyplace that Daffy is. Daffy even goes so far as to plant a bomb with the man from the draft board.

Finally, Daffy locks the man from the draftboard in a safe, bricks the safe up, puts up a wall over the bricks, runs to the roof and takes off in a rocket. However, the rocket soon plunges back to earth, causing Daffy to wind up in hell (though Daffy never actually uses the term in the cartoon). Daffy spots a demon and tells him, "Well, at least I won't have to worry about that dope from the draft board!" The demon takes off his mask to reveal he's the man from the draft board, replies, "Now, I wouldn't say that," and goes chasing Daffy around hell with Daffy's telegram.
