"classic Art Davis gags" implies they were gags he used before

* ArtEvolution: Davis's unit was shut down in 1947, and he was absorbed into Creator/FrizFreleng's unit, where he stayed until the early '60s. However, he was given a chance to guest direct one more cartoon at WB, 1962's "Quackodile Tears". Unfortunately, due to the slimmer budgets by the '60s, not to mention using Freleng's animators rather than his team from the late '40s, the animation was much simpler and more rigid, and the designs far less conducive to rubbery movement. Aside from a few classic Art Davis gags (like Daffy's wife slapping his face off and ''it'' talking instead of the faceless Daffy and Daffy swimming through the gap between a crocodile"s eyes), it was basically Freleng lite.

* LimitedAnimation: ''Quackodile Tears''. Due to the extensive budget cuts that happened in the interim since he last directed a cartoon, this one is a good deal stiffer than his rubbery cartoons from the 1940s.

* OneShotCharacter: Many of his 1946-1948 cartoons starred one-shot characters. It's been theorized this is because he was the newest director and thus had to establish himself before being trusted with the major characters, although that theory falls flat because then you'd have to consider Daffy Duck and Porky Pig not major characters.

It's because there was an unofficial rule that new directors couldn't touch the studio's biggest star until they had proven themselves capable as a director first. Unfortunately, by the time Art was allowed to direct one ("Bowery Bugs"), the studio closed his unit.
