Bugs Bunny's 75th Birthday... - Bob Schroeck - 07-28-2015
... is today. And lots of media coverage. http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/bugs-bu ... 201544222/]Variety has a good short piece, with a YouTube embed of his first cartoon. And http://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/happy-7 ... ugs-bunny/]CBS News has a slideshow worth looking at. And of course, there's [link=[%[link=http://nerdist.com/happy-75th-birthday-bugs-bunny/]http://nerdist.com/happy-75th-birthday-bugs-bunny/]The Nerdist[/url]'s article.
Anyway, a day to remember.
Edit: And suddenly it occurs to me, no wonder Canada issued a $20 silver Bugs Bunny coin this year...

And yet, no Google doodle. A shame, really.

the same sovereign, servants of the same law."

HAH! And to think, I even quoted Bugs Bunny today at my English Comp teacher.
Context? We were discussing how he'd argue for other people's civil rights until he was blue in the face, but African-Americans? (He's a naturalized citizen who hails from Kenya.) He said that it just gets way too personal for him to argue properly.
And so, being the wisecracking gadfly I am, I go, "It's just as Bugs Bunny would say, 'Of course, this, you know, means war.'"
As usual, though somewhat miffed, he had to give me that one - it was just so terribly apt!
