Duck Season! Rabbit Season!

I remember when Mel Blanc died, and there was this beautiful two-page tribute run by Warner Brothers in Variety.

On one page, there was a single microphone, illuminated by a spotlight.

On the facing page, tewnty or so Warner Brothers cartoon characters stood, heads bowed, eyes closed.

The caption read: "Speechless"

It brought tears to my eyes, because I wasn't as much of a badass then, as I am now.

So last night, when I heard that Chuck Jones died, I remembered that tribute in Variety, and it got me thinking...would the Merrie Melodies have been as cool as they were, without both of those guys?

Chuck Jones was being eulogized last night as the creator of Bugs Bunny, among others, but I bet you that he'd be the first to tell you that, without Mel Blanc, those would have just been drawings, and not full-fledged characters, as they were.

So now they're both gone, and holy crap, what a legacy they've left. I defy you to show me any person over the age of 25 who hasn't been profoundly affected by Looney Tunes, in one way or another.

I mean, without Looney Tunes, there would have been no Ren and Stimpy, for crying out loud!

I hope the Cartoon Network runs 900 hours of tribute to Chuck Jones. That'd be cool.

Comments

Merry Melodies and Looney Tunes were the best. I wish I knew when repeats were on. I'd watch them forever

That would be so cool. SO, what is everyone's favorite Looney Toons cartoon?

Mine, without a doubt, is the one based on Wagner's "The Ring" - the "Kill da Wabbit" one... Elmer Fudd prancing around with a Viking helmet on is priceless.....

Chuck Jones is up there with Charles Schultz now, and the cartoons they are making are heavenly.

all I can say is 'ugh'. The end of an era. Seeing them in the credits for a cartoon let you know that it was going to be good. They created most of my favorite characters. Marvin the Martian is by far my favorite. Sad day in the world of cartoons.

My fave Bugs Bunny cartoons were the ones with Marvin the Martian and his weapons of choice, Illudium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator and the ACME Disintegration Pistol... Thank you Mr. Jones.

My personal favorite is "Rabbit Seasoning", hence the title of this entry.

It's yet another take on the "duck season, rabbit season" story, but it's by far the funniest one, I think.

Jeremy (my brother) and I rented it on video when we were in high school, and I distinctly remember laughing so hard at it, my sides hurt. It was one of the first times I can recall laughing so hard my sides hurt.

Amy a girl after my own heart. Any woman who likes marvin enough to remember the names of his weapons peaks my interest :)

you know you group up loving something so much you think you're the only one but i guess looney cartoons touched so many people. i don't know if i can pick just one - rabbit season duck season, the barber of seville, anything with marvin the martian? how about the one with evil scientist and bugs bunny - any one remember that one's name?? i second the nomination for a looney toons marathon.

i still miss them all!

Elisa

Hmm, Rabbit Seasoning. I'm in the need for a good laugh tonight. Gonna hafta check at Blockbuster this aft for it.

I remember the one where Bugs was wrestling "The Crusher". That one made laugh hysterically too....

Hey WIL.

I'm only 22 and the Merrie Melodies had (still has?) a profound influence on my life!

ooh i loved the crusher too!! and i forgot the one with the opera singer and bugs!!!

Elisa

Over in england we have bugs and co but I don't think it's as big a deal as it is over in the US. I remeber, years ago, they had an awards ceromony for the toons hosted by the one, the only...yes you've guessed it bugs bunny.

It was so cool, I used to watch it over and over and over again until me Mam threatened to break the tape, was so upset that she treatened that I hid the tape.

I think my fav charactor has to be either Marvin the Martian or bugs bunny.

I work in a playscheme over the holidays and we have a video there called Tweety Pies Adventure around the world (or something to that effect) and the kids love it, I have to admit it was great the first ten times or so I've watched it but after the 20ith thousand time or so I understand why me Mam wanted to break the tape.

Oh no. This is the first I've heard of this. For most of my life, I've been a comedy junky, as well as a fan of well-crafted animation. Chuck Jones was well aware that a cartoon didn't have to just appeal to children, and made ones that didn't talk down to anyone.
Warner Bros. are still capable of making a very funny product, but I noticed when Mel Blanc died that the original characters became nothing but shadows of their former selves. Now with Chuck Jones gone, maybe it's time to retire them for good.
Oh, and if any WB executives have a brain in their heads, they'll make some tribute DVD's with fully restored cartoons they way they were originally presented on the big screen.

My favorite Looney Tunes show has to be Rabbit's Kin. The one where Pete Puma gets dressed in drag to trick Bugs Bunny.

Also, that two page spread you were talking about, was made into a lithograph and sold at the Warner Bros Store. Hands down it was the best seller in the gallery.

Sad. I've been listening to my Carl Stalling cartoon soundtracks all morning. It's amazing how listening to the soundtrack immediately brings the picture to mind. Soothing memories while I'm installing Ethernet jacks upstairs.

PETER FREAKIN PUMA!!

"How many lumps do you want?"

"Oh, three or four..."

"Okay, doc. Here ya go!"

hammer hammer hammer hammer

"I don't like tea. It gives me a headache! I'll take COFFEE! Eeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuwwwwwww!"

:)

Shit, this sucks. I remember watching the toons before feature movies in the theatres--they were usually better than the features. ::sniff::

Chuck Jones was great, but I've always loved Bob Clampett. He can squash and stretch like no other. :)

Pete Puma's awesome. But I think he says "Hweeeeeeeeeee" more than" Eeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuwwwwwww!" LOL. I never knew how to spell that noise until very recently.

My favorite(s)? Any Road Runner/ Wile E . I love watching classic demonstrations of cartoon physics.

All that and you haven't even mentioned Speedy Gonzalez and Pepe LePew or my very favorite the Tazmanian Devil. So long Chuck, thanks for the memories...

I'd have to put my vote in for The Rabbit of Seville. Classic toons. It was just on Toonheads the other day, even.

The opera ones are my favorite (Kill da Wabbit!) but I do like the chicken hawk who tries to get Foghorn Leghorn.

And for the record my husband says his favorite is probably "Rabbit Season, Duck Season." He tells me the other day he saw an issue of The Army Times with the cover story listed as "This Is A Shooting War." He immediately thought "It's not a shooting war! It's a friciasseeing war!"

Hmmm... been watching my Golden Age of Looney Tunes Laser Disks all morning.... so many fine cartoons from Mr. Jones.

And yes, Wil excellent comment about Mel Blanc's immeasurable contribution to WB cartoons as well... it may unfortunately be too much to hope WB execs wake up and take care of giving proper tribute.

Ever since the evil axis empire of AOL bought Time Warner and KILLED the ultra-cool (and for many of us a home to geeks and lovers of animation!) Warner Brothers stores... we may not get an outlet to purchase some quality animation in a permanent format.

I cannot think how many times I went in and drooled over "sparklies" - animation cels and maquettes. I always walked out of there about $150 lighter (much to my hubby's chagrin!) and I always wanted the *big* stuff.

My home is decorated in upperscale Toys R Us and WB. my desk is lined with *numerous* Marvin's and K-9's, The Iron Giant, Gossamer, Big Guy and Rusty and looked upon by my one huge "for-me!" purchase of a Harley Quinn & Ivy framed litho.

I often use cartoon metaphors to explain life... and I hear Carl Stalling music sometimes at the weirdest times...

As for my favorites, ANY Marvin cartoon... nuff said. As well as the musical Bugs' shorts.

Plus not to be too- nitpicky, but Mr. Jones was merely one of Bugs' "papas": Bob Clampett, Friz Freleng were among the crew that created that stew. His true creations are Daffy, Speedy Gonzales, Pepe LePew, and of course Road Runner and Coyote.

Best time my daughter and I had was about 2 years ago when the local orchestra did the "Music of Warner Brothers" complete with Carl Stalling and classical interludes with the Jones' cartoons on a theatre screen... we had a blast!

***THE BEEJ***

Looking forward to a long tribute weekend here at my casa...That's all folks!

Hey, Wil, you said it right there... now they're both gone; I just heard about it about four hours ago on German television and it made me remember my childhood days and how I was always waiting for Looney Tunes to be on already days in advance (I always drove my mom crazy by asking her when it will be on next...but she always watched it with me, and we were both practically on the floor laughing the whole time).
Well, Bugs and his friends will never die, though. I have three half-brothers and they always watch it whenever it's on. I once a long time ago told them about it and how I always watched it (and still do today...) and since then they are really into it, too. They are 6, 10 and 13 years old, and even the oldest one watches it without saying "Ohh, come on, that's kid's stuff, leave me alone with that, will ya ?", which is the best proof that "Looney Tunes" truly is immortal.
That's all, folks !

Hey, WIl, here's the 'Speechless' cartoon you were talking about:

If that link doesn't work -- it's a raw image file but has no extension, evidently -- try:

http://www.allanimation.com/speechless.html

Hey, my first post.

My fave is, was, and always will be, "What's Opera, Doc?"

"Spear and Magic Helmet!"

i remember when the only time New Mexico got any play was when Bugs said "I must have taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque."

that was the coolest.

i used to watch merrie melodies all the time. my favorites were Sylvester and Peppy-la-pue

Marvin the Martian is my favorite... I used to have pictures of him all over my room.

Agreed, they are gone and will be sorely missed. My teary goodbye was to Charles Shulz.. Damn, my heroes are gone..

*sigh*

(I'm a shadetree cartoonist, they were my heroes in ink :)

I used to have a Chuck Jones tribute video tape - I don't know what happened to it, but it had all the classics: "What's Opera, Doc?" "One Froggy Evening" (I love Michigan J. Frog) "Duck Dodgers in the 24th & 1/2 Century" "For Scent-imental Reasons". The best one, though, was called "High Note", and involved a drunken musical note from the sheet music for the Blue Danube who had spent way too much time over at Little Brown Jug. It was absolutely genius, and didn't have any of the traditional characters in it.

Chuck will be missed.

And let's not forget without Mr. Jones we would not have had the animated version of "The Grinch," a few choice Tom and Jerry shorts, "The Cricket in Times Square," "Horton Hears a Who!," "Rikki Tikki Tavi," "The Bear that Wasn't" and my all time favorite, "The Dot and the Line."

*Sigh* First Kevin Smith and now Chuck Jones. What a crappy week.

You mean Porky will never get that movie where he woos Miss Piggy before 40 days is up and she wins a million for staying celibate?

i watched looney tunes after school everyday for eight years. my mom and i would have debates over wile e. coyote and roadrunner, wondering whether the coyote would ever catch his dinner. those acme packages were just the coolest things ever. i'm not 25 yet, but those cartoons definitely made my days. i haven't outgrown them yet. i doubt i ever will.

what a legacy.

Back in college, every year there would be a campus wide marathon of Looney Toons. These things would just be absolutely packed for the entire 6+ hours they ran.

One of my friends could do a killer impression of Pete Puma. Another could do Marvin the Martian. We could literally sit there for hours and listen to them go back and forth doing it. They were great cheap party gags before the alcohol was introduced later that night.

I loved all the ones already mentioned here, but I have to add Gossamer (the orange monster with sneakers) as a big favorite.

Also the one where Bugs was mistaken for Elmer Fudd and subsequently underwent therapy so that he would think he was Elmer ("My name is Elmer J. Fudd. I own a mansion and a yacht.")

And of course the one where Bugs kept making the vampire turn back into a bat. ("Hocus Pocus! Abracadabra!") Man, I could go on forever!

I played the violin for years, and I loved all the cartoons that used the classical scores that I was familiar with. (: I remember spending the entire two months before the concert in which we played "The Ride of the Valkyries" starting off orchestra rehearsal with a rousing rendition of "Kill the Wabbit!"

I love anything with Pepe LePew or Marvin, but "Rabbit Seasoning" is my favorite Bugs cartoon.

Thanks to Mike (Harris) for posting the "Speechless" link... It still gets to me because I'm not a badass, like Wil.

Mel Blanc is dead?
Where have I been?
Yeah, Wil, I'm with tats, I'm only 20 and I don't know what my life would be w/o Looney Tunes.
Are you discriminating against 90s teens again?

And just for my two cents: I perfer Mickey Mouse.

Jon/olafandy just reminded me of my 2nd favorite Bugs cartoon(s): It's a tie between Bugs using dynamite to curl Gossamer's hair and the 'Hocus Pocus - Abracadabra!' magic fest.

cartoons are timeless....'til they become politically incorrect...funny that...since many of the cartoons from the 40's and 50's were so political....Popeye fighting Nazi and Imperial Japanese foes....imagine cartoons of todays war...
Just thinking. #:o)

JSB

Wil,

Another tremendous loss. Regarding the Mel Blanc tribute, shortly after his death I was visiting a local WB store and they were selling the lithograph previously mentioned. I stared at it for quite a while. A few months later several of my friends got together and gave it to me for my birthday. It's up on the wall over the fireplace now. It still gets to me. At least we have plenty of wonderful memories.

Ron

Hey wil,

What no lovin for Yosemite Sam, the roootinest tootinest polecat this side of the Mississippi? Or the buzzard, "Duh....nope, nope, nope"

You know you're getting old when all your childhood idols start passing away. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies are the staple for which all animation should be judged against. There isn't anything produced today that captures the hilarity and magic that was the "Bugs and Daffy" show. WB needs to produce a DVD collection of these cartoons like Disney did with their Silly Symphonies. Ah well..."my momma done told me, to bring home some dinner"

Jeff

Marvin the Martian, Bugs Bunny... it's not just people over 25. Looney Tunes is such a big part of our culture.

Chuck was the last of the gang that created the Looney Tunes to pass on- Fritz Freeling, Mike Maltese, and the rest long passed away, but were just as responsibile for the wealth of great cratoons that Warner Brothers put out. Luckily Chuck recorded as much as he could in the books Chuck Amuck and Chuck Reducks- all the stories from his childhood and the stories from the old Warner gang are recounted hilariously. Both are out of print, but hopefully your public libraries have copies available.

Its a very sad day for me personally- Charles Schultz, Chuck Jones, and Jim Henson were all my heros.

I'll throw another favorite out: The Rabbit of Seville. Who hasn't been to a real performance of the Barber of Seville and not had mental images from the cartoon the whole time?

bluevangogh said: "Its a very sad day for me personally- Charles Schultz, Chuck Jones, and Jim Henson were all my heros."

Geez-it's really depressing when you put it all together like that. You really have to wonder if visionaries like that will ever exist again.

Kermit, Bugs and Snoopy...how can I forget them?

Off Topic. (Although I'm sad about the whole thing.)

Wil, there was a thing about you in the cafepress email I got.

Yay :)

This is the first time I've heard of Chuck Jones' passing. :( Didn't he also work on the Grinch cartoon?

Like pretty much everyone else, I grew up watching the Looney Tunes. I wish cartoons nowadays could get away with being as fresh and funny without having to resort to extreme bathroom humor, ya know? The classic cartoons have become classic because they're funny to children *and* adults. But I do confess, I did love Ren & Stimpy when it first came out. *sigh*

Anyway, I'm not sure what my absolute favorite cartoon is... possibly that one with the big orange monster? I've forgotten his name, hmmm. And the ones with Claude the cat! And Marc Anthony! Oh the humanity!

olafandy wrote, "Kermit, Bugs and Snoopy...how can I forget them?"

The thing is, olafandy, you *shouldn't* forget the,. :)

ahh loony toons. oh man the memroies. I would be a very different person with out loony tunes. hard to belive they're gone.

You mean they used to show Looney Tunes in theaters, before the movie? God, I feel so young. That said, my older brother and I watched them all the time, until they were moved from Saturday morning to Sunday. (We were required to be in church.) Now, of course, I get Cartoon Network, so when my husband gets home from work at 3 AM we can watch them together! I think I remember being... I don't know how old, but pretty young, and crying the first time I saw that opera one. I really thought Bugs was dead! Ah, but Bugs and Co. will never die.

"Where's my hasenfeffer!"

Looney Tunes was the best, to hell with that Mouse Mickey! The creators of Merrie Melodies where the premodern father's of all great cartoon animators. They created "The Simpsons" and "South Park" of their time touching politics (although they were limited), celebrities, and arts (remember the ever so famous Elmer Fudd opera). They didn't need computers or lavish technology. They worked in a termite infested shack in the Warner brothers lot (hence Termite terrace). They were my inspiration and heroes. They tested the limits of animation at age of depression. Without them my cartoons would have no real heart, and soon (God I hope soon) my cartoons will live as they did. God bless Mel Blanc and Chuck Jones without them i would be so lost.

Sure, let's make my first message have nothing to do with Wil ...

If you want to gawk at just how much Mr. Jones did with his 89-and-a-half years:

http://us.imdb.com/Name?Jones,+Chuck

I dunno if this has been mentioned already in the strand but...I hate it and it is ad that now a days those old, great, and classic cartoons are edited to shreds. I do realise that some of the reasons why but it is still sad. Is there any unedited old classic carttons on video or DVD??

Toonces wrote:

Right on, Toonces! : ) I just thought it would be a good place to paraphrase Charles Schultz's quote in his final Peanuts cartoon.

First Post!

Sad, I am that Chuck Jones is no longer with us.

One of my many favourites of his huge body of work would have to be "Duck Dogers in the 24th and a half Century!!"

Cool looking scifi in the fifties? Getouttahere!

"Are you ready, eager young space cadet?"

(Also the look on Wiley's face when gravity kicked in was always fabulous!)

I'm heartened to see so many Marvin the Martian fans. I have about 250 items, most gleaned from the WB stores *RIP* I'll miss my martian.

Chuck will be sorely missed.

There was a tribute to Friz Freleng in the same style as the Mel Blanc tribute when Mr. Freleng died, back in 1995. Basically, it was a bunch of the classic characters gathered mournfully around an animator's desk. Here's a link to it:

http://artgal.hypermart.net/images/friz_trib.jpg

I had said earlier:
"Kermit, Bugs and Snoopy...how can I forget them?"

Don't you hate it when you're trying to express something and you realize the next day you've omitted a word that changes the whole context of your post?

Even when someone attempted to point it out to you in a later post?

Sleep deprivation-fear it!

God, I feel like such a nimrod...

So to paraphrase Charles Schultz properly:
"Kermit, Bugs and Snoopy...how can I EVER forget them?"

You brought tears to my eyes, Wil.

Despite all the blathering (and over-promotion) that goes on about the Disney characters, the Warners characters were by far my favorites. I'd sit and watch those guys for an afternoon a lot faster than I would the Disney stuff. Great stories, great characters ... they'll live on forever.

Thanks again for a website that's one of the high points of my day. You (and the posse) rock!

It's SO hard to pick just ONE Loony Toon but, one of the good ones was when Bugs was being chased around by that witch and every time she took off running or on her broom, she'd leave little hair pins behind her...HAHAHA...oh man.
And Wil, I'm 17 and Loony Toons had a HUGE impact on my life. I remember when TV was cool and they had Loony Toons on Saturday Morning Cartoons on ABC....man I miss that.

Wow, I didn't see the Mel Blanc cartoon in Variety. But being somewhat older, ahem, I remember a similar cartoon the day after Walt Disney died. It had no caption and featured a duck, probably Donald, looking up at Walt's tombstone with a big tear rolling down his cheek. It brought tears to my badass eyes then and still does now.

Somehow I don't think the same thing would work for Michael Eisner.

A great story related to me by a friend of mine after we heard about Chuck Jones' passing:

"During the big costume contest (at DragonCon, a scifi con), the main ballroom is filled with maybe 4000 people or so.

Well, when it finally wraps up, they often have some time to kill while the judging is going on. This can often go 20 minutes or so. So they often put a few Warner Brothers cartoons on the main viewscreen.

They always show DUCK DODGERS when they do that, it being a scifi convention after all. And they often show ROBIN HOOD DAFFY or whatever it's called.

Anyway, Chuck was, I think, one of the judges of the costume contest, and he was behind the stage and the big screen, so he wasn't seeing what was going on (and probably, since the speakers were turned the other way, couldn't hear the cartoons like the audience could).

But what he did hear was 4000 people, in unison, screaming the lines, "I'm DUCK DODGERS IN THE 24TH AND A HALF CENTURY!" or Porky's "Hello, you Thing From Another World, you!"

Anyway, he was just flabbergasted, that there were 4000 people who knew these lines by heart and were yelling them out in time with the movie. From convention staff who were backstage and witnessed it, he was moved, almost to tears, by the realization of how powerful a thing he had made.

What I mean is, obviously, he knew his stuff was popular, but the sensation of being behind the stage and hearing thousands of people roar the lines from one of his cartoons, when he was involved in another thing entirely (judging this costume contest), really moved and surprised him.

I thought that was neat."

Amen, Wil.

Chuck Jones, we'll miss you.

Is there anyone in the past 30 years who's childhood hasn't been framed by classic WB cartoons?
Losing Mel Blanc was like losing the voice of my childhood... now we lost Chuck Jones too. What a sad day.

I LOVE The Duck. Even got him on my mouse pad. Favorite cartoon? Hmmm. Either the Scarlet Pumpernickel or Duck Amuck. It's in the Scarlet cartoon that we find out the Daffy's middle name is Dumas. heheheh. Love him!!

according to the infallible game of trivial pursuit, on his death bed, mel blanc spoke in the voice of bugs bunny as he slipped in and out of a coma.

To all:
Please go out and get the definitive chronicle of CJ, "Chuck Amuck" at your local bookstore or find it online. This book is a peek behind the scenes and behind the man, a true wonder. As a child who was raised on Looney Tunes, and a huge fan of Chuck in particular, I relished the insights into the process of creating such memorable characters and learning about his life. He shall never be forgotten, but always missed.

Just to let everyone know. Boomerang, which is a spinoff channel of Cartoon Network, will be having a 24 hour Chuch Jones marathon starting on Friday March 1st at 8am(not sure which time zone) and, of course, running until 8am Saturday morning.

my bad, fat fingers, should be "Chuck"

Thanks for recognizing Chuck Jones. I read he died and quite saddened. It took me a moment to figure out why, but in retrospect, here was someone who added so much laughter to my life and never knew it. Far too many hours as a child, even more as an adult. I've never been embarassed to admit my love for Looney Tunes, especially the Chuck Jones creations. He was a genious.

Ah, the memories:

(circa 1978) - Mom's in "her chair" watching Roadrunner & Coyote. My brother and I are sitting on the floor, not watching the TV, but watching Mom. It's probably the only time we ever get to see her really, really laugh - and just about laugh herself into an asthma attack at that!

(August 1991) - Riding in the car with Mom on our way from Florida to Colorado for my uncle's funeral. She's found a classical radio station somewhere in the middle of Texas. After a while there's this song I hear. Sounds familiar, but I can't quite place it. "DUM de DUM dum, DUM de DUM dum..." I ask Mom what it is; she doesn't know. Then suddenly it hits me and I start singing "Kill da Wabbit, Kill da Wabbit..."

Incidentally, my husband (a big Marvin fan, BTW) claims that ol' Wile E. actually caught Roadrunner once. He says Coyote held up a sign saying something to the effect of "Okay, you wanted me to catch him--now what?" Has anybody seen this?

Cartoons, you know the insane thing is, here in the Uk, it's considered strange if you still like cartoons at my age (19).

Comon what's not luv, I rember all those winter nites spent rolled out in the front room watching Bugs&Daffy, while fithing with the 'rents to get 5minutes more of tv time to watch them.

My brother gave me a mug for my birthday a couple of years back with Daffy Duck on it, and on the other side was a msge, about depsite the fact that he was one dispicable little black duck, you couldn't not help but admire his attitude, whcih perfectly describes me I think........

I've been a huge fan of WB cartoons my whole life. I'll watch Looney Tunes anytime I can catch them on TV.

Favorite characters were always Marvin, Taz and Gossamer, the big orange monster. It seemed like nobody ever knew his name was Gossamer. I worked at a WB studio store a couple of years ago, and the gallery manager let me work in the gallery because I knew Gossamer's name. :)

"Turn out that light!"
"Stop steaming up my glasses!"
"I'm feeling mighty low."
"I'm calling Uncle Looie. Got a nickel." (Elmer Fudd reaches into his pocket and gives him the nickel. Bugs puts it in his pocket and makes the call from Elmer's phone.)
"Ehhhh, what's all the hubbub, Bub?"
"Don't pile on the rabbit."
"One for the money, two for the show, three to make ready (Bugs takes off early.), and four to (Telegram for Tudor Turtle. Tuder slowly opens it, has trouble with his glasses, messenger returns on a motorscooter and reads it for him.) Go you fool! Go!"
"Roses are red, violets are pink, sugar tastes sweet but you sure stink." PS I've enclosed a big B. Bee flies out of the bouqet and stings Red Baron's (Yosemite Sam) nose.
"Have you prepared a statement for the press."
"Yes, I have prepared a statement for the press. Get me outta here!"
"I usually take a size 36."
Injun Joe.
"Which way did he go? Which way did he go?"
"I hate that rabbit."
"The first one of you damn Yankees to come out of the dugout gets his head blasted off!"
"Shanghai Sam, Square Deal Sam."
"Ahoy there enemy! Enemy ahoy!
"You're desssspicable."

does anybody know where i can buy a 12 in gossamer figurine ???

Pete Puma is the best. Its cool that my daughters, 10 and 7 years of age, love it as much as I have. "how many lumps?.........."

I love all of them. Have any of you also remembered the cartoon mouse versions of Jack Benny and co.? One of my favorites was Gremlins from the Kremlin. And who can forget Daffy's frustration at Bugs not playing the xylaphone properly after he boobytrapped it? Yes, I did, I did, I did see a puttytat.
