One of the greatest songs to come out of Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes has got to be the square dance scene in “Hillbilly Hare”. An ex-co-worker of my wife…
Back to McKimson lately. I still thinks he’s under appreciated, especially when you look at how open he tends to keep figures in his toons. Their silhouettes always…
From “Dr Devil and Mr Hare”, which is a fun toon, but I feel like this image of Taz looking depressed wasn’t as fully thought out as it…
An Italian lass from Mr. Jones. Can I say that? Or does she have to be Irish?
As I said I’ve not posted in a bit, but I have been drawing. Again, here are some take son stuff from Looney Tunes. Chuck always had so…
As the two people who check this site will know, I haven’t posted anything in a couple months. Honestly, I’ve been thinking… why bother? World will probably end…
Ha! Fooled ya! I’ve been sketching from cartoons again, and thru that I’ve grown fond of the McKimson designs. His depictions of WB mainstays were a bit more…

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…
Robert McKimson, and his brother Charles, don’t get enough credit in the WB universe, in my opinion. I admit they didn’t experiment as the other directors did, like…
“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…
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…
Sadly, while watching these old shorts I have to put up with the unfortunate lack of sensitivity, be it veiled sexism or (worse) flat out racism. “Southern Fried…
