Robert McKimson, Gorilla my Dreams, USA 1948
Moving into 1948, we open with Bugs adrift in the ocean, with only some carrots and the latest copy of Esquire to keep him company.
He's saved when he nears the shore, but trouble comes up when he nears the island of Bingzi-Bingzi, where the apes live like people. He's saved by Mrs. Gruesome Gorilla, who desperately wants a baby, but Mr. Gruesome is pretty clear he doesn't want one. She decides Bugs would be perfect.
Bugs is a rare treat here. He just goes along with an insane idea and trolls a 500 pound gorilla just because. You have to respect that.
