Escape Game! What is that?

It's amazing that some comic-books editors can doing to took profit of a series or a character (Even if we'll love to loathe it) for gaining much bigger sales. The case of the Kid Toussain and Eveline Stokart's highly overrated series Elles can be describe as the 21th century comical trauma of the Daffy-Speedy cartoons of old. But unlike the crummy Warners shorts of old, Elle looks and seems to act as a social media avatar than a real person, by make it more generic than enigmactic to carry on. And even the supporting cast aren't better. If you're a big fan of these cartoons featuring the Daffy Asshole no one wanna argue about, would you accepting such lazy stuff like Elles?

And then, does the weird idea of a Escape Game book. And when a french translation may be available, but in France like in Belgium, nobody took the decline of the french language seriously, besides of their pompous and very grating accent!

The clear premise of the main character gotten six alter-egoes was more to less like the way Daffy's personality been established in many moods from screwball duck in the 1937s Avery Porky's Duck Hunt to a very pitiful, damageful mallard who been at the mercy to chasing a Mexican mouse in all these cartoons. Say what you will about his wits with Bugs, but he was still in full-control, thankfully by helps of brilliant gagmans and directors who were already to the high scope of their career. It's only by the passing of musical composer Carl Stalling in 1958 that things wound up pretty stale in Warners, until the 1962s closing shop that going hard to sit through.

The Elles' media phenomenon was muchly a cartoon joke that is pretty tough to took it seriously in the harsh issues of the 21th century. Toussain and Stokart shamelessly steal the premise of a Warner duck character, whom have evolved from all directors through his 1937s introduction to the dark days of the Depatie-Freleng era. Apart if you're muchly a Bugs' fan, the "wabbit" was luckily enough to not ended its career by chasing a mouse like the black duck does. But it's what makes the Daffy Duck character so relevant and timeless to study it. With Wile E. Coyote, Daffy remains the character I can be eerily related in the latter part of my life. What it would happened if that Instagram avatar's character-girl having to chase Speedy Gonzales, even by be very Politically Incorrect today? (Thought it remains that these murky late cartoons were overaired for decades on Europe and anywhere, but not so on the America by Post-2000s.)

Yeah! Daffy's having better days away of this.
