#PICTURES OF ELMER FUDD AND BUGS BUNNY SERIES#

Also, if they are making it more acceptable for a 21st-century audience, could they have maybe changed the name? Or at least corrected the spelling ? They couldn’t spell its sister series Merrie Melodies either, remember? Not yet! But if that happens Looney Tunes will have a lot to answer for. Scythe culture isn’t a thing in America, nor has scythe crime ravaged the country. That’s pretty violent! Also arguably scarier, with its Grim Reaper associations, than the gun.

So there’s dynamite and explosions, while Elmer’s shotgun has been replaced with a scythe. If they are not doing guns, what are they doing? There is still plenty of “cartoon violence”, Browngardt says reassuringly, acknowledging that the whole thing is based on conflict. “We’re not doing guns,” the executive producer of the new series, Peter Browngardt, told the New York Times. They have been disarmed? Who by? Warner Bros, which has just relaunched Looney Tunes, the cartoon series in which they appeared, with a new collection of shorts streaming on HBO Max.Īnd have Elmer and Sam been stripped of their weapons in response to out-of-control US gun violence? Exactly. Not going on holiday? Because of Covid-19? No, they are no long totin’ guns. What is? What’s up, doc ? Sam and Elmer are no longer packing. What was the name of BB’s other gun-totin’ adversary, with the big droopy orange moustache? Yosemite Sam. Got it! The hunter in Bugs Bunny, right? Right. Permanently frustrated, frequently injured.

Appearance: Hunting gear, brown and red hat, double-barrelled shotgun.
