Operation: Rabbit

 Charles M. Jones, Operation: Rabbit, USA 1952


New month and we're bringing this one back. 


With this, we have the 2nd ever appearance of Wily E. Coyote and his first time speaking.


We've seen the coyote being smart enough to work a catalog and build traps, but here he's sophisticated. He formerly introduces himself to Bugs and makes it clear he's going to eat him. Bugs disagrees and from there proceeds to wreck Wily's day.

Jones and Michael Maltese really hit every cylinder here. In Wily we have an urbane and drool antagonist going up against the streetwise Bunny. 

The formula is now pat at this point, but who Bugs faces is the key.
