My, Weren’t There a Lot of Skunks in Here?

“Now, all’a you skunks clear out of here!” said Yosemite Sam. So they did.




Gotta love Sam’s dead-eye look when he blasts at the skunk. Look at how Sam pulls his head back. Great attention to detail.

‘Bugs Bunny Rides Again’ is one of my favourite Bugs cartoons. Friz Freleng made a bunch of great ones about this time (the cartoon was released in 1948). The credited animators are his usual bunch—Virgil Ross, Ken Champin, Manny Perez and Gerry Chiniquy.
