Bugs. Daffy. Tweety. Sylvester.
For many Canadians, the mere mention of these names evoke fond childhood
memories of spending Saturday mornings in front of a television,
transfixed and spellbound as these characters—and many more—outsmarted
each other in situations that could only exist in our imaginations.
The reverse image, provided by Warner Bros., brings together selective
colouring and expert engraving in this ode to the famous and much-loved
Looney Tunes short, The Rabbit of Seville. Seen in side-profile and in
colour, Elmer Fudd is seated in a barber chair as he leans forward to
peer into a mirror held up by a self-possessed Bugs Bunny; upon seeing
his reflection, he is shocked to find Bugs’ barbershop antics have
resulted in a flowery 'mane' of bright red flowers on the top of his
bald head. Enhanced by the use of multiple finishes, the engraved
background offers a depiction of the stage setting, as seen in the 1950
animated short.
