National Bugs Bunny Day, April 30

comicsApr 30, 202618816

Bugs Bunny is being celebrated on National Bugs Bunny Day, April 30, which marks his first big-screen appearance in Porky's Hare Hunt (1938). Creators are sharing nostalgic tributes and new work across illustration, short comics, animatics, edits, and light cosplay. Recurring subjects include the prototype Bugs from Porky's Hare Hunt, Bugs' trademark "What's up, Doc?" moments and showdowns with Elmer Fudd, plus standout shorts such as Slick Hare's song-and-dance and High Diving Hare's rapid-fire gags. Many posts call out early contributors like designer Charles Thorson, director Ben Hardaway, animator Gerry Chiniquy, and voice actor Mel Blanc.

Morn'n Foxy💫 & Friends🌊! An end to this madness in a Fuhrerbunker is such a lovely thought but that finish takes strength of character. An Ides of March finish grows more likely daily 🤗💙

I will carry love for Bugs Bunny through the day! Have a great day, everyone, and do at least one little thing to support democracy today. Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of the weekly roadside rally I attend, and we had a little over 80 participants.

Good morning. Perfect day. The entire GOP has gone completely Looney Tunes under the leadership of Der Fuhrer, the Pungent Peach Pedophile. I hope you all enjoy your day. 8647

Can't top Bugs Bunny Day, no way, no how! Even had a verbal cameo in Wayne's World. Garth's comment about Bugs in a dress. As a kid, Bugs Bunny would get me laughing, and Roger Rabbit, an obvious homage to Bugs, did as well. Those grins are good. Larry Carlton knows youtu.be/y_Fzrucyz48?...

Happy National Bugs Bunny Day! To celebrate such a moment, he's that wascally wabbit avoiding Elmer by doing a song and dance, all animated by Gerry Chiniquy. Cartoon: "Slick Hare" (1947, Friz Freleng)

We lost so much when animation became 99% relegated to CGI. So much real artistry in those old cartoons. I can't even watch the "new" versions of the classic WB cartoons, or the Pink Panther. And gods, the orchestrations! Th-th-th-that's all, folks!

When we were kids, dad used to say Hey, you got updoc all over your face" to which we would respond "what's updoc" and he would say "Hiya Bugs" and we laughed. It made me so happy when my 3 year-old daughter met him and said "Granddad,you have updoc all over your face!"

“Eh… What’s up, Doc?”. Happy #NationalBugsBunnyDay from Termite Terrace Club. Today’s celebration honors the first appearance of proto-type Bugs. He made his debut in “Porky’s Hare Hunt” released in 1938. Charles Thorson designed him for director Ben “Bugs” Hardaway.

Always liked this short. It moves at a brisk pace, and the gags were also rapid fire. Four gags in less than three minutes is impressive. High Diving Hare (1949) Dir. Friz Freleng #NationalBugsBunnyDay
