Slick Hare

 Fritz Freleng. Slick Hare, USA 1947

Caricature cartoons were a staple of the early Warner Bros., with a flimsy plot based around various celebs hanging around. The Looney Tunes crowd did this too, usually based around either nightclubs or bookstores. 

Here, Elmer is working as a waiter in Mocrumbo Club. It's a busy night, but it's about to get more so when none other than Humphrey Bogart demands fried rabbit. "What Baby wants, Baby gets" he makes it clear to the hapless Fudd, despite his protests that they're out of rabbit.

In a bind, Elmer is freaking out when he happens to find Bugs, happily munching on some carrots out in the open (which doesn't speak well for the club's health standards). Bugs is most delighted when he hears that none other than Mr. Bogart wants to have him for dinner but that changes quick when he realizes the menu. Can Bugs escape in time? Will Baby have to settle for a ham sandwich?

Darn good, and the use of the celebrities doesn't overwhelm the story (so if you fail to recognize anyone, don't worry.)
