Charles M. Jones, Forward March Hare, USA 1953
We now enter 1953 and Bugs got his letter from the draft board.
Well, technically he got B. Bonny but eh, close enough. So, heart filled with pride he saunters down to the induction center. Assigned to basic training, his sergeant quickly becomes the bane of his existence and likewise Bugs torments him equally, with the poor slob losing a stripe every time Bugs fouls up.
It's...ok? For Jones this honestly feels like a letdown. Bugs is a bit dim. The mayhem he causes is pure accidental, which isn't nearly as funny as deliberate actions. Plus the sarge just doesn't stack up, coming across as more dim than menacing. Seriously, how does he not notice his new recruit is a rabbit? Bugs isn't exactly being subtle.
Some gags work, but the ending one is just weak, with Bugs being even dumber than Elmer. No mean feat that.
