HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUGS!

       HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUGS!

    The Easter Bunny got a lot of press this

month. But, before we bid farewell to April

let's raise a toast, make it carrot juice, to

another equally famous rabbit.

    April 30th is Bugs Bunny Day!

    Bugs made his debut as “Happy Rabbit”

in a short theater cartoon called  Porky's Hare

Hunt on this date in 1938!

    That would make Bugs 81-years-old today!

    We all remember Bugs from the cartoons

in which he stared for Warner Brothers

over all those years.

     Many of us remember them from the time

we spent in Movie Theaters "back in the day."

Some of us looked forward to the cartoons

more than the feature1

     To the younger folks Bugs may be better

know from television. He's never left a screen

somewhere in all those years!

     I have still another memory.

     Through all of my pre teen years I can

clearly remember the picture of Bugs and his

buddy Porky Pig that hung on the wall of my

bedroom.

     Their images were outlined in some sort

of luminous paint that made them glow in the

dark after the lights were turned off!

      I suppose it's one of this "childhood" items

my mother decided had outlived it's welcome

somewhere along the line. She probably

tossed it!

    Now I'm kind of wondering what a classic

like that might be worth these days?! It could

have been a "24 CAROT picture!" Get it?

    Here's hoping that "Wascally Wabbit"

keeps besting Elmer Fudd for another

81 years, and that all your NEWS is good!
