Bugs Bunny

The precursor to Bugs Bunny appeared for the third time in the 1939 cartoon Hare-um Scare-um, directed by Cal Dalton and Ben Hardaway. In this one, he changes from the form of a white rabbit to that of a gray rabbit wearing yellow gloves, with a pink face and a frothy white ball-shaped tail (this is the second prototype). It is also an opportunity for him, and for the first time, to sing and dress up as a woman in order to seduce his opponent. Charlie Thorson, main animator of this short film, was the first to give a name to this character. It was he who wrote “Bugs’ Bunny” on the model page of the reference sketches of the rabbit he had drawn for Hardaway, a page which he therefore considered to belong to Hardaway.

wonder woman

Wonder Woman’s “magic lasso” is believed to have been forged from Aphrodite’s magic belt which was bequeathed to Hippolyta (Wonder Woman’s mother) by the goddess. In order to make the lasso, the god Hephaestus borrowed the belt from Olympus, removed the ties and used it to create the lasso. It is unbreakable, infinitely expandable, and has the power to make those surrounded by it obey, and more specifically, to make them speak the truth.
