National Bugs Bunny Day, April 30

comicsApr 30, 202618293

April 30 is National Bugs Bunny Day, marking the rabbit prototype’s first big-screen appearance in the Warner Bros. short Porky's Hare Hunt on April 30, 1938. That early rabbit evolved into the Bugs Bunny known for chomping carrots and the catchphrase "What's up, doc?", with Mel Blanc providing the enduring voice beginning with the 1940 short A Wild Hare. The anniversary is a prompt to watch classic Looney Tunes shorts, examine early character design, and trace how Golden Age animation shaped modern cartoon comedy.

Good morning, Foxy and Followers! If I'm honest, much of my character was formed by watching Bugs Bunny. Hope everyone's day is a Merrie Melody. That's all folks!

Morn'n Foxy💫 & Friends🌊! An end to this madness in a Fuhrerbunker is such a lovely thought but that finish takes strength of character. An Ides of March finish grows more likely daily 🤗💙
