Baby Buggy Bunny

Charles M. Jones, Baby Buggy Bunny USA 1954


Another favorite of mine, and so good the Wayans opted to remake it as Little Man


Bugs is minding his own business when it rains pennies from heaven, or to be more accurate fat wads of cash. Bugs doesn't question and lo and behold, someone leaves a foundling baby on his doorstep! An adorable moppet named Finster, who's just overflowing with love. 

And greed, as Finster is also better known as Ant-Hill Harry, notorious bank robber. 


Bugs takes some licks before he figures it out, but when he does Finster is going to wish he stayed on the straight and narrow. 

Wonderful; Bugs is perfectly used here and Finster is a perfect foil. Honestly shocked he didn't get used more, but I suppose the whole 'short adult pretends to be tall baby' had a set shelf life.
