Bully for Bugs 1953
Of course you know... this means war. It usually took quite a bit before Bugs expressed his famous words. In this cartoon the bull never speaks which is rare for a WB Cartoon. Again, they're too many reasons to mention why I adore this cartoon, first Bugs slapping the bull in the face for steaming up his tail as he tries to read his map, gives me a good giggle.
I've always wanted a postcard from Albuquerque! * If anyone reads this - I'll barter!
Bugs was forever getting lost remarking "I should have taken a left in Albuquerque..." I thought it was a 'made up' place as a child, he does this is several cartoons. A common 'gag' used at least 3 times I can think of by WB, that in itself makes it humorous. Interesting to note Chuck Jones who didn't always get along with his boss actually created this cartoon initially out of spite - as he was told 'not to do anything with bullfighting'. This poor big bully of a bull has no idea who he is messing with in Bugs. The bull sharpening his horns (which he does several times) or when he swallows a gun & realizes he can now shoot with his horns -his facial expression - priceless.
I'm not sure what I'll end up doing with these paintings but the growing collection looks cool hanging all together, the fact that you have to flip to see the other side as to have a better guess at the cartoon painted is kinda fun- like a game on my wall, for WB fans of course. Bugs flying through the air in this cartoon after being hit by the bull is the best example of him proclaiming : Of course you know.. this means war. Also funny "What a Gulla-bull" Or "What a Ning-cow-poop".
I'll share a new one every Saturday, I think.
Happy Saturday morning! It's already warm here with an expected high of 31, a great day to explore the woods, read, paint & daydream... imagining all the possibilities. BTW, yesterday I foraged wild Ramps on the property * I did pull 2 bulbs just to show you, but it is advised NOT to, it takes several years for them to mature & if over picking you might lose your patch. They only last a few weeks and are already starting to wilt. You can use ramps in many ways but my preferred is simply to chop it up and mix it in with butter to make Wild Ramp butter - very tasty on a steak, used to fry an egg, butter a bagel or anything else where you want to add a nice onion, garlic flavour.
Thankful for Gods garden - in my backyard forest.
