Friz Freleng, Hare Splitter, USA 1948
Pretty good, although the status quo here is a bit different than normal. Brings to mind the Popeye shorts from the same period.
Here Bugs is preparing for a date with his gal Daisy Lou. His neighbor, Casbash (looking like the Easter Bunny from a few years earlier) is doing the same. Naturally Bugs isn't going to let this go without a fight, and so seeing Daisy isn't home Bugs puts on her Sunday best and proceeds to unleash hell against his romantic rival.
Like I said, pretty good, but while Bugs does his bit it just feels off. Seeing Bugs in a love triangle is new. Pity we haven't seen Daisy since then. From what little we glimpse here she looks like she can go toe to toe with Bugs, at least in terms of slapstick.
