Tweety Was Originally Featherless, but Canary Feathers Were Added to Appease Censors Who Were Against Showing Nudity LooneyLooney TunesTunes FunFun Facts!Facts! Tweety was originally featherless, but canary feathers were added to appease censors who were against showing nudity. Mel Blanc is known for voicing many of the Looney Tunes characters including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Sylvester the Cat, Tweety Bird, Foghorn Leghorn, Tasmanian Devil, Elmur Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Pepe Le Pew, Speedy Gonzales and Wile E. Coyote. The Tasmanian Devil, which Taz is based on, is a carnivorous marsupial native to Tasmania that grows to be the size of a small dog. According to his 1990 published “biography, Bugs Bunny was born on July 27, 1940 in Brooklyn, New York. Mel Blanc would chew on carrots while recording dialogue for Bugs Bunny and his carrot munching scenes. Wile E. Coyote’s character design was based off Chuck Jones’ interpretation of Mark Twain’s description of coyotes in his book “Roughin’ It.” Sylvester the Cat’s name is a play on “felis silvestris,” the scientific name for the wild cat species. Porky Pig is one of the only characters to have said a curse word. Speedy Gonzales hails from Mexico and is known as the “Fastest Mouse in all Mexico.” Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse have only appeared together once, in the film “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” under the condition that they both have equal amount of lines and screen time. Sylvester the Cat has had more “deaths” than any other character. Bugs Bunny shares traits of both rabbits and hares. His long ears are similar to hares, but he lives in a burrow like rabbits do.

  • Who Framed Roger Rabbit a Jumpchain CYOA (V1) Welcome, Jumper, to Los Angeles
    Who Framed Roger Rabbit A Jumpchain CYOA (V1) Welcome, Jumper, to Los Angeles. Here, cartoon characters- such as Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny- work as actors and entertainers, producing the classic cartoons that we all know and love. These cartoon characters- called “Toons”- live in their own part of town, which is fittingly named “Toontown”. But all is not right, and very soon events will transpire that threaten the very existence of Toons. Greed, Patty Cake, murder all threaten to bring Toontown to its knees. In a few days, one Eddie Valiant will be commissioned by R.K. Maroon, head of Maroon Cartoons, to investigate Roger Rabbit’s wife; Jessica Rabbit, a sensual Toon who dances at the Ink & Paint Club. Will you assist Eddie Valiant in his mission, or will you ensure the destruction of Toontown? Maybe you’ll do neither. But in any case… Here’s 1,000 CP to help you get situated. Origins: Roll 2d8+18 for your age. Gender stays the same; you can pay 50 CP to change both. Drop In: You know the drill; no new memories or a history in this world. You start outside of the ACME factory, where cartoon props and gag items like disappearing-reappearing ink are made. (0 CP) Drop In-Toon: That’s… different. You’re a Toon now, but you don’t have any new memories or a history. You might be able to get a job at Disney or Warner Bros if you’re funny enough. You might also be able to get your own strip in the funny pages, if it’s the non-moving cartoons you like.

  • HE MAKES ME LAUGH Lyrics by Robert Berliner, Music by Aaron Kenny
    WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT - Berliner & Kenny inspired by the Touchstone/Amblin film directed by Robert Zemeckis Original screenplay by Jeffrey Price & Peter S. Seaman, based on the work of Gary K. Wolf CONFIDENTIAL - All Rights Reserved HE MAKES ME LAUGH Lyrics by Robert Berliner, Music by Aaron Kenny Despite her being a Toon, JESSICA RABBIT’s glamour, sensuality, and killer curves—evoking the most provocative pinup models of the era—make her alluring to humans and Toons alike. Because she could have her pick of men, her marriage to ROGER RABBIT, a goofy little bunny in overalls, tends to turn heads and raise eyebrows. But ROGER gets JESSICA going in his own inimitable way, and she adores him for it. JESSICA SOME GIRLS THINK ROMANCE NEEDS DIAMONDS, OR A MANSION, OR A YACHT: EVERY WEALTHY WORLDLY TREASURE, GUARANTEED. BUT THE WAY MY HUSBAND LOVES ME, WELL, IT ALWAYS HITS THE SPOT. ONLY HE CAN GIVE ME JUST THE THING I NEED... HE MAKES ME… LAUGH. HE MAKES MY LIPS SUCCUMB TO SILLINESS AND SMILES. HE’S GOT A GIFT THAT GETS ME ROLLING IN THE AISLES. AND WHEN WE’RE ALONE, HE’LL GET ME PRONE TO LAUGH, ‘CAUSE HE’S A MASTER OF THE FUNNY BONE. HE MAKES ME… OOH! OH, SURE I LOVE IT WHEN HE’S SENSITIVE AND SWEET, BUT WITH A KNOCK-KNOCK JOKE, HE KNOCKS ME OFF MY FEET. SO HE ISN’T SPENCER TRACY; STILL, HE GETS ME ALL EMBRACE-Y WHEN HE MAKES ME LAUGH.

The Trinity Papers (2011 - present) (2018). Trinity College Digital Repository, Hartford, CT. https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/trinitypapers/64 Mahoney 1 Daffy Duck and Allegorical Violets: Inane Voices Asking Philosophical Questions in the Poetry of Louise Glück and John Ashbery Poetry has always been used to pose questions, ranging from the mundane to the extraordinary, from highly specific personal enquiries to broad existential uncertainties. Where did we come from? Why are we alive, what does being alive mean? Existential questions have attracted the curiosity of intellectuals for millennia. Furthermore, in a global culture inherently tied to religion, these questions have often been posed or dedicated to a divine figure. Although the appearance of these god figures has changed and developed over time and across cultures, their symbolism and importance have remained constant. Drawing from traditions started in early religious texts and classical works of prose and poetry, many writers have appealed to a higher power in their work. From Virgil and Sophocles to Whitman and Dickenson, from Homer and Dante to Plath and Collins, poets have used their lines, stanzas and syllables to grapple with existence and perhaps even reach out to God.

  • July 26, 2013 Bugs Bunny and the NSO Come to Wolf Trap
    July 26, 2013 Bugs Bunny and the NSO come to Wolf Trap By Roger Catlin For a generation of Americans, the earliest love of classical music came not through shared family symphony experiences or early childhood music appreciation classes, but through mayhem-laced TV cartoons, often involving a bunny in drag. Walt Disney may have taken the high road to classical music interpretation through some early Silly Symphony cartoons and “Fantasia” (which in its first run was a flop). But it was Warner Bros. and particularly the animators behind Bugs Bunny who may have been the most successful in drumming key classical passages into the heads of impressionable audiences when the studio’s theatrical cartoons of the 1940s and ’50s were incessantly replayed on TV in the ’60s. Warner Bros. - Still image from the 1950's Merrie Melodies short, “What's Opera, Doc?” Even today, the most serious gray-haired music lover, sitting in the world’s most august concert halls, may be listening to the timeless refrains of Rossini or Wagner only to have the phrase “Kill the Wabbit!” come to mind. Conductor George Daugherty has embraced this meld of classical knowledge and pop-culture conditioning and celebrates it in his “Bugs Bunny at the Symphony.” Its first tour, in 1990, was such a success that it spawned, as most successes in Hollywood do, a sequel. “Bugs Bunny at the Symphony II” comes to Wolf Trap on Thursday and Friday, with Daugherty conducting the National Symphony Orchestra. In its honor, we pause to hail the greatest uses of classical music by Warner Bros.
