As I said, Bugs Bunny is one of my favorite Looney Tunes characters; but I do sometimes wonder what was his very first cartoon ever made? And now I've found out it's this short by Tex Avery (noted for his short at MGM), and I had watched it online at youtube.com (and again at TCM's Cartoon Alley). I love the part when Bugs whispers in Elmer's ear :
"Ehhh... c'mere. Listen,doc. Now don't spread this around, but,uh...confidentially...I *AM* A WABBIT!"
And I also love after his fake-death scene, Bugs gets up and kicks Elmer in the butt,and he (Elmer) goes up like strength-tester; and back down again, and Bugs handed him a cigar.
