Deliberate Error

-

Dateline, Hollywood - 1942.  Bugs Bunny shows us everything in "The Wabbit That Came To Supper".  In this, Elmer Fudd has to not harm animals, especially rabbits, in order to inherit 3 million dollars from his Uncle Louie.  Naturally, Bugs takes full bore advantage of this.  There is no doubt that we are supposed to think Bugs has just flashed us.  What you are seeing is the arch of the bunny's legs with a white bathtub behind him, the mechanics of a morally bankrupt transvestite psychopath rabbit stepping out of a shower hard would be a wonder.  Do not think for a second that these artists were unaware of what they were doing.  There was no reason to draw Bugs like that, no one would have done so just to make extra work for themselves.  They went out of their way on this one, these guys were...nefarious!  The guy in charge of Warner's animation division was Eddie Selzer, known for being dead wrong about everything that he thought wasn't funny.  This was the artists pulling one over on him, and us.   But make up your own mind:


     Ha ha ha!  Oh, that Fritz Freleng!  How I would love to see these unhinged artists' cocktail napkins after a Saturday night. 
     Oh, yeah, if this was what people think it is Bugs would be in great demand at parties.  What's up indeed!  The real point of this cartoon is that Bugs, while running for his life, stops and changes into ladies underwear.  (about 7:11)  Is there no end to this rabbit's appetites?


 Bugs is one hot rabbit, and he knows it.

The Madonna Of Stalingrad

This superior drawing is known as the "Madonna of Stalingrad".  It was drawn by Lt. Kurt Reuber, a doctor and a protestant pastor.  It measures 3' by 4', and is charcoal on the back of a Soviet map.  It reads, running down the left side, Christmas at the siege, Fortress Stalingrad, Light, Love, Life.  It was flown out by his battalion commander (why was an officer leaving, his place was with his men) on what Wikipedia says is the last flight out but I dispute that.  Could be, though.  Reuber died in a work camp.  He drew another before his death.  The original is on display at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial church in Berlin. The Prisoner's Madonna.  Reuber. The Germans starved their POW's to death, by policy.  The Russians then starved their German prisoners to death, by policy.  Of the 91,000 6th Army prisoners, 6000 would return home a decade later. 'The Eastern Front was the armies of two mass murderer...

Two Bad Men, Said Their Murderers

John Choate, 25 August 1818 - 3 August 1869 Crokett Choate, 1842 -3 August 1869 This tells of a grave by the dashing wave A fond friends lip that did quiver Of an eye that's hid by a leaden lid And a voice now stilled forever. John on the left.  They were originally buried where they were killed but October of that year the Refugio Masons moved the bodies to Rockport.  This was all part of the Sutton-Taylor feud, the Suttons were backed by the U. S. Government and of no particular righteousness, they were badge wearing murderers and bullies.  The two story house with the porch running around the second floor in the left background belongs to my sister.  A lovely house and the best behaved neighbors possible!
