Disdainful drawer discombobulates Daffy

Help me identify a certain Daffy Duck cartoon...

Anybody remember a Daffy Duck cartoon wherein he gets into an argument with his animator? As punishment, the animator (only the moving hand with pencil is seen) then keeps redrawing him in funny costumes or situations, erasing body parts, etc. Daffy's mania and frustration level increases till he seems to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

dude, sorry about the dubbed version - my computer's sound is weird, and I didn't notice it wasn't in English!

AOL Video has it too. They have a bunch of Looney Tunes, and legally too! Commercial precedes the cartoon.

Don Hertzfeldt's excellent short Genre involves a cartoon character in a similar war against his animator. Hertzfeldt doesn't like his work viewed in crappy streaming video, so it's repeatedly taken down from google vid / youtube, but if you must you can see it here [possibly nsfw].
