101st Hare Born

Ok, he’s not a paratrooper, but in “Forward March Hare” (1953), Bugs does mistakingly get drafted into the army. I did a post earlier about the Chuck Jones…

Fritz? Fuzz? Frisbee? Friz, yeah that’s it.

I really enjoyed the design of the antagonist in “Hare Less Wolf” (1958), and you can see hints of Freleng’s future “Pink Panther” design, which would come less than…

Ah-ten-HARE!

The debate over the drill sergeant’s use of vocabulary aside, the short “Forward March Hare” (1952)  is another class in design from Chuck Jones. I rarely see this…

Finster!

“Baby Buggy Bunny” (1954) is a classic, with Chuck Jones is hitting on all cylinders in it. The violent baby shaking scene would be disturbing if you didn’t…

Up, up and underwear!

It was always fun to see the characters play dress up. Of course there was always Bugs in drag, but I also liked when he and Daffy would…

That had to be a gigantic pain

Everyone should watch classic cartoons in slow motion, or better even frame-by-frame, it really helps one to appreciate the artistry and effort that went into the old shorts….

All Hare the King!

Bugs Bunny is, without a doubt, the king of animated comedy; and that’s a hill I’ll die on. He’s not even my favorite character, but it’s a fact….

Sam ole thing–

Yosemite Sam is rumored to be one of the most taxing voices to do. I read once that Mel Blanc‘s son replaced his dad for a while, but…

What’s matcha, Doc?

Bugs Bunny’s turning Japanese, I think he’s turning Japanese, I really think so. Friends of our family live in Taiwan, and one of the sisters participates in Japanese…

Mail call!

Recent package art for my mom’s birthday~ She loves herself some Looney Tunes! Here’s the same image before I added color and the type. It’s a bit blurry,…
