Looney Tunes Baseball Card 114
Yosemite has, on several accounts, attempted to rid himself of his arch nemesis, Bugs Bunny. But he has never succeeded, due to the brilliant cleverness and cunning of the rabbit/hare. No matter how many times he tries, Yosemite always seems to experience some form of pain or humiliation when he challenges Bugs. Bugs likes to call him Sam.

When Bugs made his appearance, he promptly replaced Daffy Duck as the most popular Warner Bros. character. Daffy, jealous of his cartoon counterpart's ascension to fame, has on many occasions attempted to dethrone the rabbit. But he has never truly succeeded, always being outsmarted by the clever hare.
However, as time passed on, Bugs and Daffy's rivalry has turned friendlier in nature as the two usually hang out together in most cartoons and Bugs considers Daffy his best friend despite his faults, to which Daffy says the same thing.

Daffy Armando (formally Sheldon) Duck is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. He is a American Black Duck. Daffy was the first of the new breed of "screwball" characters that emerged in the 1930s and supplanted traditional "everyman" characters.
Daffy is also one of the most difficult cartoon characters to adequately define. Virtually every Warner Bros. animator put his own spin on the duck; Daffy may be a lunatic vigilante in one short, but a greedy glory hound in the next. Bob Clampett and Chuck Jones especially made extensive use of two very different versions of the character. As of today a third version of the duck exists in The Looney Tunes Show only in this version he is portrayed as a mixture of Screwball, Greedy, and Stupid.
Yosemite Sam is a small fellow with a big mouth. He is quick-tempered, often drawing his guns on anyone who dares to defy him. He is much like a character from a Western movie, wearing a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. He is reckling, very stubborn, and hates it when he's wrong. He hates it so much, in fact, that he shoots bullets at random targets, but never hits anyone. He possesses a mean and somewhat vindictive streak.
Yosemite has, however, taken the roles of several other positions, such as a knight and mayor. But the miniature bandit is best known for his Western cartoons, even though his non-Western "Knighty Knight Bugs" cartoon won an Academy Award.

Looney Tunes Baseball Card 437
Samuel aka Yosemite Sam (pronounced Yo-sim-it-ee) is a loud western figure of Looney Tunes.
Yosemite made his debut in 1945 in the cartoon, "Hare Trigger." However, Yosemite seems to bear a resemblance to a character in "Buckaroo Bugs," released in 1944. Michael Maltese claims that he made Yosemite in the likeness of director Friz Freleng.
When Elmer Fudd, who was Bugs Bunny's first enemy, proved to be too much of a softy for his target, Freleng decided he needed a tougher opponent.
