I remember a cartoon which I watched when I was young. The main character is a duck who is the captain of a spaceship & a pig who is his assistant. The duo travel around in the spaceship but I can't remember much else.

Additional details include:

  • The duck is black and his beak is yellow

  • The pig is pink

    thank you for this question and reminding me of this show. I feel old now, since there are people who see a black duck with yellow beak and don't automatically think "Daffy Duck"

This sounds like Duck Dodgers from 2003.

Daffy sits in the captain's seat looking over at Porky in a side seat at a workstation who is looking worried over the back of his chair at Daffy

The spaceship captain/hero is Daffy Duck, the sidekick is Porky Pig.

It could also be its 1953 predecessor: "Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century".

    Seriously? They went back and made an entire series out of that one Daffy Duck and Porky Pig spoof of "Buck Rogers?"

    @JRE They did, and it's genuinely really good. They even got Tom Jones to do the theme song.

    @JRE, not entirely just that one spoof. Duck Dodgers has appeared in a number of Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes

Rocket Squad (1956)

In a futuristic city, Detectives Monday and Tuesday pursue a wanted criminal.

It's a Looney Tunes cartoon short starring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig.

Daffy and Porky sit in the cockpit smoking

    Cartoon characters packing heat and smoking, (and littering as well) - there's something they're not allowed to do anymore. (Also from the looks of Porky's eyes, I'm not sure those are just cigarettes...)
