Happy B'day, Bugs

On this date in 1940, Bugs Bunny made his first appearance, as the creature we know and love, in Tex Avery's "A Wild Hare."

True, there had been other rabbits in Merrie Melodies cartoons before, but "A Wild Hare" is considered to be the 'toon where Bugs comes into his final cheeky form.

Here — via the miracle that is YouTube — is "A Wild Hare."
