Looney TV: The Great Piggy Bank Robbery (1945-6)

Bob Clampett's "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery", a Daffy Duck farce from the winter of 1945-6, holds the distinction of being the first cartoon shown on Cartoon Network when the channel launched in October 1992.

In a riotous sendup of Chester Gould's Dick Tracy (of whom Daffy is a fan), Daffy knocks himself into dreamland, and imagines himself as "Duck Twacy". You can guess the rest.
