So the Scarlet Pumpernickle is out there somewhere, protecting the good citizens of...beautiful downtown Burbank? Look THAT up in your Funk & Wagnalls!

8/8 but considering this is my favorite Daffy Duck cartoon, that's no surprise, though I admit to looking up who wrote the Scarlet Pimpernel before answering the question because I had no idea.

6/8; missed # 2 and 6. I wasn't aware Mel Blanc did Elmer's voice in this one. I always thought it was Arthur Q. Bryan.

I like "The Scarlet Pumpernickel" *much* better than "Duck Amuck!"

7 out of 8. Made a stupid typo which ruined my perfect score.

Answered 8 out 8 on the Daffy Duck quiz on his role as the Scarlet Pumpernickel. I haven't seen that cartoon in a long time; so getting all the questions right surprised me.
