On this date 75 years ago,A Wild Hare was released and a legend was born.

Warner Bros. (Merry Melodies, etc.) was my favorite of all the cartoon properties. I liked it more than Disney, Hanna-Barbara, everything.

To this day, they can't seem to figure out how to release a blu-ray set that people want to buy -- they keep hiding the ball on how it's organized, how you can know you'll get everything, etc.

Hanna-Barbara was the store brand version of Warner Bros.

Disney was your parents trying to be funny.

They are my favorite too. Still as funny today as ever.

I'd love to get my hands on a complete set. They should package them by decades or something, 5-year intervals.

Eggs...In...SPAAAAACCE!

Those Looney Toons comics have absolutely none of the wit and charm of the old shorts. I have a few from when I was a kid. It's like the opposite of Disney, where the Carl Barks comics are the real good stuff and their shorts are boring.

I remember liking the Road Runner comics (which were much different than the cartoon) a lot as a little kid, but overall I agree. None of the rest were very entertaining to me at the time.

I'm up to date on the Barks volumes. I love them.

Having been raised on the hours and hours of Looney Tunes on CBS on Saturdays, I always liked Bugs Bunny and despising Mickey Mouse.

What's crazy is that the new Mickey Mouse shorts Disney's pumping out right now are the best Bugs Bunny cartoons to be made in 50 years.

Time for this book to be updated:

Is that Doctor Who?

Updated with what? Space Jam and Looney Tunes: Back In Action?

(I will say that that 3D Road Runner/Coyote cartoons a few years back were better than the movies they opened for)

Still, great book. My brother got me a copy for my birthday when it came out. I still have it.

Currently on display at the EMP:

Chuck Jones, like many of the finest people (Bing Crosby, me, Craig T. Nelson, Dan Marcoux) was from Spokane.

I have mine too!

Wasn't Crosby from Tacoma? There's a marker in front of the Pantages that says he was.

Unfortunately (more in the case of Space Jam than the other one), those would get at least a mention (as would The Looney Tunes Show) but I was thinking more text and pictures of the classic shorts.

What would be even sadder than the fact that the only really "new" Bugs material in the past 25 years is Space Jam, is the fact that they talking about making a new movie only with Bugs teaming up with LeBron James. (No, I'm not making this up.)

Space Jam 2? Warner Brothers, Lebron James reach agreement

I don't know where I read this, but some movie reviewer pointed out what was wrong with the whole concept of Space Jam: Bugs Bunny really should have been able to take care of the alien invasion all by himself. By forcing him to beg Michael Jordan for help, the movie turns Bugs from Groucho Marx to Margaret Dumont.
