Racketeer Rabbit

 I. Freleng. Racketeer Rabbit, USA 1946


Bugs VS Rocky, no, not that one. 

Yes, the common gangster often paired up with Mugsy appeared here, but this time he looks more like Edward G. Robinson than the diminutive tough guy he'd be later. 

The short is pretty decent. Bugs, seeking drier accommodations, ends up in the hideout of gangster Rocky and Hugo. All he wants is some water and a good night's sleep but what with the goons counting their ill gotten gains and the shooting, well, you understand that this means war... 

Great short with plenty and gangster related puns and a neat reference to the 1932 Scarface
