But I Trusted Talking Rabbits!

Whatever you guys do, don't throw me into that bar over there!
This sure looks like the work of Bill Peet to me.

Yes, it is.




Bill Peet, Br'er  Rabbit, Song of the South.  This is one of the best artists I have ever seen.  Michaelangelo? Da Vinci? Chris Burden?  Not even on the list.  Where are their bunnies?





Incredible.






Br'er Rabbit meets the tarbaby, Song of the South.

I cannot find a clip of this with the original audio in it, it has been narrated.  Either this is a Disney copyright thing, or just the vagaries of the net.  As usual, the art and animation are out of hand.  There is a part two that does have the original voices in it, but this is what I wanted to show.





Thump thump, Neo.





Deep, dark, inviting.  Calling Dr. Freud!





But only the very best butter.  Wow, is this one fucked up adaption of a slam dunk story!





Just as well the Mouse did not get hold of this.  The art would be much better but all the singing and dancing would not advance the story at all.





Warner's gets into the act.  See http://www.lileks.com/institute/frahm/





C'est Moi!




When I first watched this the Vietnam war was raging.  I don't think popular culture was paying much attention, despite the seriousness of the disaster ongoing.  We really should have been getting our future soldiers more focused on what we are now living amidst of.  Television should have been doubling down on Jonny Quest.





See what I mean?




I love thrift stores.






Br'er Rabbit and the Tar Baby, E. W. Kemble.






Br'er Rabbit and the Tar Baby, signed K.B. Frost.






Many cultures have traditions of Trickster Rabbits.






Many very different cultures.





Not all cute bunnies are cute bunnies.





I missed this Saturday morning Anthrogony.   Just as well.





Blackjack O'Hare and his friend, Rocket Racoon.
A Hero For Our Times!





Speaking of heroes, there are none quite like Usagi the bodyguard.  Stan Sakai.






 E. Aster Bunnymund, Rise of the Guardians.  Not your standard depiction of an Easter Bunny.






The Basics.  Harry Rountree





Br'er Rabbit steals Sis Cow's Milk.  Picture by Harry Rountree, and real good too.





Rr'er Rabbit at home.  Art by Henry (wait for it)!...Fox!





Henry Fox.





Christopher Burch, Br'er Rabbit and Br'er Death in the Land of Shadows.






Christopher Burch.  This is from an exhibition in San Francisco and it is worth looking at.  The other artist involved is John Felix Arnold III and this is some very intriguing artwork, but not all talking rabbit related.  Check it out.

The Velveteen Rabbit, Dan Daily.






Schnuffel Bunny.  This is a hyper cute German ring tone rabbit apparently singing a love song to that suggestive carrot he is hugging.

The horror.




What?  You've read this all the way to the end?  You seriously need to be getting laid or something!

Two Angel Forms Were Seen To Glide

’Twas on a lofty vase’s side, Where China’s gayest art had dyed The azure flowers that blow; Demurest of the tabby kind, The pensive Selima, reclined, Gazed on the lake below. Her conscious tail her joy declared; The fair round face, the snowy beard, The velvet of her paws, Her coat, that with the tortoise vies, Her ears of jet, and emerald eyes, She saw; and purred applause. Still had she gazed; but ’midst the tide Two angel forms were seen to glide, The genii of the stream; Their scaly armour’s Tyrian hue Through richest purple to the view Betrayed a golden gleam. The hapless nymph with wonder saw; A whisker first and then a claw, With many an ardent wish, She stretched in vain to reach the prize. What female heart can gold despise? What cat’s averse to fish? Presumptuous maid! with looks intent Again she stretch’d, again she bent, Nor knew the gulf between. (Malignant Fate sat by, and smiled) The slippery verge her feet beguiled, She tumbled headlong in.

Where In The World Is Billy D Bunny?

''The plight of Davis Paul'' ''Dam you to Hades Billy! why are you setting fire to my Wardrobe with your Cigarette!!?''...you would hear on occasion some kind of verbal anger often from Davis - shouting out in abstract Frustration, 'just because Billy Thought Davis Pauls Clothes were lame'' oh yeah, Billy D was the Dude.........Davis put up with so much crap and nonsense from the rebellious Layabout - come would be antisocial super hero, ''the enabler''...Davis Paul was literally at the end of his tether..all those worrisome late nights... Davis would often shout at Billy, during one of Billy's Trash rampages, ''Aunt may never has this problem ever with peter parker !'' and then the rest of the time, Davis Paul wondering where Billy was? and what was Billy D up too? then after hours and hour of worrying,  Billy would just rock up - staggering through the Front door, Gladiator outfit on, covered

Two Sides Of The Same Coin

 It was a lovely day in November.  At least Tom thought it was November, the air was crisp and cool and it felt Novemberish.  There were no calenders here, while he had a clock he rarely looked at it.  He never had to be anywhere at any particular time in any event, when he had to be somewhere he always showed up on time, if that's the word for it.  Anyway, it was a nice Fall day. Tom stood on his porch that surrounded the small field stone house, he could see and smell the smoke from his neighbor's fires, someone was cooking fish and the big cat was salivating.  Since he had had his coffee he wasn't hungry, but the fish really smelled enticing.  Odd, he thought, I haven't had meat since I got here.  When did I get here?  he thought to himself, I don't remember.  Maybe someplace in town sold meat, although he had never seen such a shop.  It didn't matter, what with the bread and potatoes and butter and honey he was never hungry.  Tom lit a cigarette
