Hair-Raising Hare

 Charles M. Jones. Hair-Raising Hare. USA 1946.

One of my favorites. Bugs is menaced by a Peter Lorre-ish mad scientist and Gossamer. Much wackiness ensures and more than a few Groucho walks, plus the best use of "What's up Doc?" seen in the series so far. 

Gossamer is a wonderful addition to Bugs' foes. His design is so simple yet nothing is wasted. He's just a big menacing glob of hair and sneakers. Somehow he just works, and the way Bugs beats him is perfectly in character for him.
