With just one other character worth mentioning, a daffy shop clerk played by “Fleabag’s” Sian Clifford, there’s only so many moves a story this small can make.

The brand-new feature-length “The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Story,” starring Daffy and Porky — whose teaming goes back to 1937 —and originally set for Max, was raffled off to another distributor, who released it theatrically this past weekend.

As crazy as things are in this story, as daffy the solution to its central mystery, the political world as pictured here is peopled with qualified professionals, who may not agree on things, and may in some cases be mainly out for themselves, and may be compromised in one way or another — most everyone here is — but still operate in a refreshing atmosphere of at least superficial politesse.

The panting lust that allows them to override the lies that brought them together isn’t enough farcical compensation, but Delsid and Betts have a sweet, daffy chemistry.

But there’s a tender vulnerability to his characters, and the daffy empathy that suffuses the writing is unique to Arbery.
