Chuck Jones/Maurice Noble, Mad as a Mars Hare, USA 1963
Keeping with our unintentional theme of endings, this would be the last Marvin the Martian short in the Golden Age.
Marvin is just minding his own business when a rocket nearly takes out his lab. To the shock of no one reading (or viewing), it's Bugs. Seems he got volunteered to be an astronaut, a fact he is most unhappy about. Marvin is most put out as well.
Unwilling to hand over Mars, Marvin busts out the heavy artillery. Since this isn't Duck Dodgers he's facing, things go poorly.
Decent and Jones/Noble are both at the top of their game. The final gag would be reused later this year too, but we'll get to that.
