I could swear I remember this scene, but nothing else about the cartoon from which it is taken. Except that it must have involved conflict between Bugs and Yosemite Sam. Duh.
My late father’s birthday is on the 7th.
He used to smoke cigars and cigarillos.
I always got sick from the smoke.
Especially on long journeys in our car…
We three kids were always carsick from my dad’s cigars as well.
We went on long Sunday drives, and once or twice a year, 2,000 mile journeys from Ohio or, later, Wisconsin, all the way to California to visit our grandparents.
He insisted on driving 500 miles a day.
4 long days crammed into the back seat while he smoked Dutch Masters… from dawn to dusk, or sometimes dark.
We begged him to let us roll down the windows, but he didn’t want a “draft” … which is what he called fresh air all his life, in houses as well.
Instead we made endless stops at gas stations and sometimes along roadsides… but sick children made no difference in his plans.
She’s giving you a kind of baleful look out of that left eye.
“Oh well, I’ll put up with this, as long as I get to lie on the couch” (looks to me like a Laz-Boy with a recliner).

“Do youse nose what I nose?”
Don’t be nosy!

“I don’t think we’ll be in Kansas for much longer, Toto…”

Icebergs will roll over when enough melts below the waterline. That deep blue is a sign that it’s recently rolled over.
With penguins..
What do they do when it rolls over?!
I guess they just swim away and then hop back on.
A life unencumbered.

I love this cover.
In reality, though… gossip rarely has to go through more than a tiny handful of people before it comes back to bite you.
And like all “telephone tag” gossip, it gets distorted and embellished until it hardly resembles the original story, if at all.
That’s what I was thinking — how did the story go all that way and still be recognizable to the guilty parties?

“Bugs Bunny Rides Again” from 1947 (again, it won’t post as a video so open the U.R.L. in a new window).

Is the setting “somewhere on Jupiter?”

Clearly painted by one of the Dutch Masters.
Flemish!
For the record, I don’t see how it matters how much time they spent clearing their throats.
My dad smoked those for years.
They came in individual glass tubes.

Bunnies!
Hey! A couple of those bunnies are bassets!
Bunnsets?
Bassies?
Babbits?

We all miss her…
this was taken at some of the Wright brothers’ glider tests at Kitty Hawk NC-1902
Nope. In the first flights in 1902, they flew lying down. Sitting upright was a 1909 innovation.
You’re right — this was 1911

For Happy, Happy, Happy – do yo see the bunny in the lower right?
No i dont! Dang it!
Maybe more than YOU WANTED TO KNOW.
I am going to posit that this is
ERNKH! Wrong again.
I can see why you thought so.
Wrong again!
Oh my gosh …. I can see the man in the boy!
It’s got
It’s his expression, his eyebrows… I dunno what. But I’m pretty sure it’s him.
The adult had a cleft chin… but I think that can develop later.
Yep. Looked at the adult and that’s him.
Hope this isn’t spoiler-ish:
He had a hardscrabble childhood that he didn’t want to discuss, and hated interviews….
Not just for that reason, but because he thought they were boring and pretentious.
He thought of himself as working class, and didn’t want to pretend to be the suave sophisticate people saw in him.
So when interviewers asked him his favorite poem, he recited this one:
“They brought me a box of tin soldiers
I threw all the generals away.
I smashed up the sergeants and majors
Now I play with my privates all day.”
Which of course they couldn’t publish back then… But I’ve remembered it for years.
LOL!
I’m glad his “gammy eye”* cleared up!
Whoo! He’s gonna be up all night.
Now you know how they wake up every hour to cuckoo.
“Betty Boop’s Halloween Party”.
.,.,
Sketch comedy/Improv troupe (SNL). I can remember about 1/2 the names. Specifically, without placing them:
I also
Harry Shearer, Christopher Guest and Mary Gross (I always think she looks like her brother, Michael Gross, who played the dad on Family Ties.)
That leaves one man and one woman neither of us know. Sorry guys.
Most people here, I would think, should recognise this man.
For those who don’t,
He’s why you guys wear t-shirts and jeans.
Finally got one!!!
Everybody….
Almost forgot to say….
Cleo is all fancied up for Mario Gras…
love the glamour and the twinkling mask and beads.
She’s all set to be Kween Kleo, riding on the float for the Kanine Karnivale Krewe… right out front, tossing kibble and kandy…..
Watch for your chance to grab some Mardi Gras swag!
No matter what you’ve heard… it’s NOT true that to get a throw, you have to flash anything. In fact… please don’t!
…
And Kleo…. er, I mean Cleo… please…. a word….
Just leave the bazooka home, ‘K?
Mario Gras??
From today’s London “Daily Mail.”
Trying to post MY Maggie Mardi-Gras photo…
She’s giving you a kind of baleful look out of that left eye.
