"Golden Yeggs" may just seem like a silly cartoon about some gangsters ordering Daffy Duck to lay a golden egg, but I actually interpret it as an allusion to how big business takes over and as a result, small businesses and the community at large end up at their mercy, much like how Rocky and his thugs brutally force Porky to give up Daffy and then force Daffy to lay an egg or else.

Maybe I'm the only person who interprets it like that. For the most part, it's a nice, zany cartoon spiked with all class of gags. Speaking of these cartoons, I seem to recall that Bugs Bunny once made mincemeat of a different, Edward G. Robinson-resembling gangster named Rocky. Is the one here supposed to be related?
