Honey's Money
Subsequent to the marriage, the widow reveals her true temperament, transforming into a domineering figure who compels Sam into servitude, relegating him to menial household tasks while she assumes a passive role.This narrative framework is replicated in Honey's Money, with Yosemite Sam assuming the role originally held by Daffy Duck, albeit accompanied by some altered sequences.The character of Wentworth, portrayed as an innocent and physically imposing child of limited intellect in Honey's Money, diverges from the depiction of a mischievous youngster in the original short.Honey's Money marks a notable departure from the traditional pairing of Yosemite Sam with perennial adversary Bugs Bunny, a dynamic observed in most of the original theatrical cartoons, save for Along Came Daffy (1947).Animation historian David Gerstein writes, "Desperate to make married life endurable under the circumstances, Yosemite is driven to some of the darkest plots ever seen in a Looney Tune — efforts to murder his young stepson via alligators and speeding cars.
