Robert McKimson, Rabbit's Kin, USA 1952
And now a new foe, and one that isn't voiced by Mel Blanc!
Yeah, here is the first appearance of Pete Puma. Voiced by Stan Freberg, more as a parody of Frank Fontaine's yokel character.
Bugs is about and about the woods one day when he runs into Shorty (Mel Blanc again), a fellow rabbit who is in quite the jam. Seems the smaller rabbit is being pursued by the aforementioned Pete.
Bugs proceeds to wreck Pete's day.
Pretty darn good but Pete is a bit lacking in the menace of Sam or Elmer. He's dim, but not quite enough to be pitiable. The tea/coffee lumps gag is great though and has a good payoff too.
