Fun Stuff

Trivia:
"Kilroy was here" is scrawled on one of the rocks Bugs strolls part on the moon. This phrase originates from the graffiti used by GIs around the world during World War II, and was found on fences and buildings all over Europe. The origin supposedly lay in a US Army sergeant who, after checking equipment, would write on it "Kilroy was here". Usually, it was accompanied by a little peeking, bulbous-nosed figure. more

Bugs is a reluctant astronaut until he sees the carrots..., 25 March 2009
6/10
Author: Neil Doyle from U.S.A.

This is a highly amusing Bugs Bunny romp from Chuck Jones. This time the bunny is a reluctant astronaut who wants nothing to do with the spaceship to Mars, only changing his mind at the last minute when he spots the carrots being loaded.

Turns out he's not alone when he lands there. Seems that Marvin the Martian has also landed and is intent on blowing up the earth. When Bug realizes the Martian's sinister intentions--and has some amusing conversations with Marvin and his henchman--a silly looking dog--he goes into action to prevent the catastrophe.

Crisply drawn, with Bugs Bunny benefiting from Mel Blanc's colorful vocal assistance, it's a very amusing spin on all the Buck Rogers type of stuff audiences were lapping up in the late '40s and well into the '50s.

Timely and terrific.
