Happy Birthday, Bugs Bunny

April 30, 1938.

It was 70 years ago that Ben “Bugs” Hardaway, looking for an antagonist for the animated short Porky’s Hare Hunt, first drew the humorous, provocative, and sassy white hare that would become Bugs Bunny.

A star was born, and kids all over the world would grow up spending many a day watching his adventures.


Alas, today, the zeitgeist desperately misses him, but some of us still remember and celebrate him.

What’s up, doc, indeed?
