But once the indignity of the situation has passed, Bugs handles himself with near absolute confidence, saying to Elmer "Say, Doc, are you trying to get yourself in trouble with the law?" Bugs takes a teentsy bit too long to get to the point, love it. a popular combination in our modern times, alas, but what can be done. Elmer rushes up with his shotgun and jams it into Bugs' mouth. is that dust? Or maybe it's fur, just dusty looking fur. Daffy gives a half-hearted looney laugh of old as he rounds the giant rock to hide, but it's just not the same.īugs emerges from the hole, and Elmer fires a shot, turning Bugs' ears into a pair of flutes, judging from the fresh holes, and the dust falling from them. You used to be the unabashed spokesman for anarchy. Now that Daffy has laid the track for Elmer, Daffy calls Bugs to the door and he scurries off, saying "Survival of the fittest!" Oh, Daffy.
