This is an incomplete list of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies characters.

A

A. Flea

A. Flea is a character that appeared in two Merrie Melodies cartoons. He first appeared in "A Stitch In Time," and then in "The Horsefly Fleas." He is often seen singing his famous "Food Around the Corner" song. As revealed in his second appearance, the "A." stands for "Anthony."

Ala Bahma

Ala Bahma is a magician from the short Case of the Missing Hare. He plasters posters advertising his magic show, all over Bugs's hole. Bugs decides to get revenge by going to Ala Bahma's show and driving him crazy. Ala Bahma's name is also a takeoff on the American state Alabama.

Ala Bahma appeared in The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries episode "The Cat Who Knew Too Much," and the 1996 film Space Jam.

Angus McCrory

A kilt-wearing Scotsman who appears in My Bunny Lies over the Sea, who challenges Bugs Bunny to a game of golf, after he destroys his bagpipes.

He later made his second major role in the Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries episode, It's a Plaid, Plaid World.

He also made a cameo appearance in Space Jam, during the basketball playoff between the Nerdlucks and the TuneSquad.

Another cameo made by McCrory was in a TV special about Merrie Melodies shorts that dealt with sports themes, where clips of My Bunny Lies Over the Sea were shown. McCrory, along with Bugs and Daffy, are candidates for an award of "World's Greatest Sportsman". At a dinner presenting the award, they are told all have lost. All three are enraged at losing and for being the only three candidates for the prize and having traveled the world over to prove it, only to be told that a fourth candidate has won; that being Foghorn Leghorn, who won for playing every sport in his own back yard.

He was also seen in the Animaniacs episode, "Dot's Quiet Time".

It is officially known that his last name is spelled McCrory, due to the subtitles on a Looney Tunes DVD.

Aoogah

She was a small, brown canary that served as the girlfriend of Tweety in "Tweety's High-Flying Adventure." She never appeared in a cartoon short.

B

Babbit and Catstello

Babbit and Catstello are Looney Tunes based on the comedic duo Abbott and Costello. Although the short, fat character calls the other one "Babbit", the tall, skinny one never addresses his partner by name; the name "Catstello" was invented later. In their first three cartoons, the "Babbit" character was voiced by Tedd Pierce, and Mel Blanc performed "Catstello". Later, Babbit is voiced by Billy West, and Joe Alaskey performs Catstello.

Originally, the pair were cats in pursuit of a small bird for their meal in the 1942 Bob Clampett-directed cartoon A Tale of Two Kitties, a cartoon notable for the first appearance of the bird character, who would eventually become Warner Bros. cartoon icon Tweety Bird. The hapless duo fail in every attempt to capture the bird, establishing the pattern that would be used time and again in future Tweety cartoons.

Three years later, Babbit and Catstello reappeared in the similarly named Tale of Two Mice, directed by Frank Tashlin. Though their characterizations were the same, the two were now mice, living in a hole in the wall of a typical cartoon kitchen. Their goal in this cartoon was the cheese in the kitchen's refrigerator, the only obstacle being the resident housecat. Babbit attempts to coerce Catstello (often by beating him up) into going after the cheese solo, using various methods to get it (which involved Catstello getting hurt). However, in the end, it is Swiss cheese, which Babbit can't stand. Angrily, Catstello beats him up and begins force-feeding the cheese, uttering one of his archetype Lou Costello's famous lines: "Oh — I'm a baaaaad boy!" (At one point in A Tale of Two Kitties, he similarly remarks, "I'm a baaaaad pussycat!")

The characters make a very brief cameo appearance in canine form in Robert McKimson's second Warner Bros. short 'Hollywood Canine Canteen' released in April 1946. They play the pets of the real Abbott and Costello, Costello's dog, refers to Abbott's dog as 'Babbit'.

Finally, six months later in October 1946, Robert McKimson returned to the pair in The Mouse-Merized Cat, wherein Babbit uses a book to hypnotize Catstello. Babbit has Catstello believe he's a dog in order to scare off the cat so they can get to the food in the refrigerator. However, the cat soon studies hypnosis and is able to reverse Babbit's spell. This results in Catstello running back and forth between the two as they continue use hypnosis. Finally, Catstello becomes fed up with Babbit making him the fall guy, and turns the tables on both Babbit and the cat, hypnotizing them into believing they are, respectively, a cowboy and his trusty steed. Catstello trickes Babbit with his Yosemite Sam like voice makes babbit utters a deliberately misworded variation on the Lone Ranger's classic catchphrase — "Hi yo, Sliver, awaaayy!" — before he and the cat gallop away. The final scene shows Catstello eating cheese and reading a book on living alone, before turning to the audience and once again reciting "Oh — I'm a baaaaadd boy!"

The pair have made few appearances since then, mainly cameos in modern Warner Bros. animated projects such as The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries voiced by Jim Cummings and Joe Alaskey.

Baby Face Finster

Baby Face Finster is a short burglar who can easily be mistaken for an infant. He only appeared in one Warner Bros. animated short titled "Baby Buggy Bunny." In this cartoon, Finster is running from the cops and decides to disguise himself as a baby and leave himself on the doorstep of Bugs Bunny. Bugs decides to keep Finster, but soon discovers the truth. In the end, Finster goes to jail for 99 years. Finster is outraged, and Bugs then states that 99 years isn't forever!

Banty Rooster

Banty Rooster is a slick-talking, hen-crazy rooster that appears in the Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes cartoons. He only appeared in one cartoon: "Banty Raids." This cartoon was seen as a segment of the 80's movie "Daffy Duck's Movie: Fantastic Island." Banty also appears in the 1996 film Space Jam.

Barnyard Dawg

Barnyard Dawg (named George P. Dog), is a Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies basset-hound character, and is the antagonist of Foghorn Leghorn (while Foghorn, himself, usually starts the feud). He was created by director Robert McKimson, who also created Foghorn. He was originally voiced by Mel Blanc, but has also been voiced by Joe Alaskey, Frank Welker, Greg Burson, and currently by Maurice LaMarche. He is the archenemy of Foghorn, and also feuds with Porky Pig, Goofy Gophers, Henery Hawk, Sylvester, and Daffy Duck.

The Barnyard Dawg will appear in The Looney Tunes Show, and also appears in The Looney Tunes Show opening. He has made cameos in the Merrie Melodies "Chickenhawk," and "Cock of the Walk." He will be voiced by Maurice LaMarche.

Batty Bat

Batty Bat is a character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of theatrical animated shorts. Batty Bat's first appearance was in the cartoon "The Brave Little Bat." This was also his last appearance. He makes an appearance in the crowd scenes in the 1996 film Space Jam.

Beans the Cat

Beans the Cat was the third Looney Tunes cartoon character star after Bosko and Buddy. Created by Leon Schlesinger, Beans is most likely modelled after Waffles, a feline from the Van Beuren Studio, as both characters are black-furred cats in overalls.

He made his first appearance in the Merrie Melodies cartoon I Haven't Got a Hat (1935), along with Porky Pig who would have a much longer run in the series. He then made a cameo in The Country Mouse, another Merrie Melodies short release that same year.

Finally, six months following his debut film, Beans starred in A Cartoonist's Nightmare which would be his first solo cartoon, followed by Hollywood Capers. Beans then began appearing with characters from the cast of I Haven't Got a Hat.

Featured on screen in only a couple of years, Beans appeared in just 9 shorts. His swan song was Westward Whoa in 1936. Before being retired completely, he made a brief appearance in Plane Dippy.

Beans was voiced at first by Billy Bletcher and sometimes Tommy Bond, and later by Will Ryan.

Black and White Cat

A nameless male black and white cat who appears in the shorts Swallow the Leader (1949), It's Hummer Time (1950), A Fractured Leghorn (1950), Early to Bet (1951) and Leghorn Swoggled (1951). He is voiced by Mel Blanc. In the second and fourth, the cat is antagonised by an unnamed bulldog who gives him either humiliating or also painful sentences for bugging him in the second cartoon and for losing bets in the fourth short.

Blacque Jacque Shellacque

Blacque Jacque Shellacque was created by Robert McKimson. While similar in many ways to Yosemite Sam—both are short in stature and temper—Blacque Jacque possesses his own unique characteristics, not the least of which is his comically thick French Canadian accent, performed by Mel Blanc. Also, like Yosemite Sam and many other villains, Blacque Jacque Shellacque does not have a high level of intelligence, preferring to use force instead of strategy to fight Bugs.

Blacque Jacque first appeared in Bonanza Bunny, which takes place in the middle of the Klondike gold rush. Blacque Jacque attempts to seize Bugs' bag of gold (actually "a bunch of rocks and some yellow paint," according to Bugs) through card cheating, trickery, and out-and-out threats, but Bugs outwits him as always and defeats him by replacing his bag of gold with gunpowder while poking a hole in the bag and tossing a lit match on it causing a massive explosion.

Blacque Jacque later clashed with Bugs in 1962's Wet Hare, in which his illegal damming of a river ("Me feel like pezky little beav-aire!") brings him into conflict with the rabbit—not only because he is committing a crime, but because he has blocked off the waterfall that Bugs uses as a shower. After demolishing several of Blacque Jacque's dams, Bugs turns the tables by damming the river upstream of Jacque's dam. Jacque, unsurprisingly, is enraged and wheels a small cannon along the riverbed to destroy Bugs' dam—but when he does he only reveals another dam further upstream. Jacque blows up several of Bugs' dams in succession and finally follows Bugs all the way to the "Grand Cooler Dam" (a pun on the name of the Grand Coulee Dam). Jacque tries to blow it up with his cannon, but the dam is so massive and thick that the cannonball he launches ricochets back into the cannon's barrel and the recoiling force lands both Jacque and the cannon into the back of a waiting paddy wagon.

Blacque Jacque also appears as a common enemy in Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time.

Bobo the Elephant

Bobo the Elephant was a young elephant in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons. Bobo starred in two shorts "Hobo Bobo," and "Gone Batty." Bobo the Elephant appeared in the 1996 film Space Jam, in the crowd scenes.

Bookworm

Bookworm is a character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes shorts. Bookworm made his first appearance in "The Egg Collector." Since then, he has appeared in some recent Warner Bros. projects such as 1996's film Space Jam.

Three Little Bops

In the musical short, "Three Little Bops," the three little pigs are seen "playing music with a modern sound," as the singing voice called it. The Big Bad wolf wants to join the Three Little Bops' band, but is rejected. He is so determined to get into the band, that he accidentally blows himself to ashes. "Three Little Bops," is a segment of The Looney, Looney, Looney, Bugs Bunny Movie. The Three Little Bops are the nephews of Porky Pig.

Bosko

Bruno

Bruno is a gray dog who is Bosko's pet. He has a resemblance to Disney's Pluto.

Bruno Bear

Bruno Bear is a Russian-accented bear who performs as the star in a circus, until he is replaced by Bugs Bunny. Bruno only appears in the Looney Tunes cartoon "Big Top Bunny." He is of very low intelligence and is easily confused by Bugs's tricks. Bruno Bear also appears in the 1996 film Space Jam.

Buddy

Bunny and Claude

Bunny and Claude are robbers, based on the real-life Bonnie and Clyde and the then recent film version about the pair's life that had been released by Warner Bros.. They are a well-dressed rabbit male (Claude) and female (Bunny) who are always pulling off carrot heists, and their catch phrase is "We rob carrot patches", based on the film Bonnie and Clyde's "We rob banks". Bunny was voiced by Pat Woodell and Claude was voiced by veteran WB voice actor Mel Blanc. They both speak with pronounced Southern accents.

They appeared in two cartoons produced by Warner Bros. Animation and released by Warner Bros.- Seven Arts in 1968, titled Bunny and Claude: We Rob Carrot Patches and The Great Carrot Train Robbery (the latter was held over to 1969). Both films were directed by Robert McKimson, and were his first two cartoons he directed in his comeback to Termite Terrace.

Bunny and Claude were always chased by a stereotypical Southern sheriff (also voiced by Mel Blanc, his voice sounded similar to Foghorn Leghorn and Yosemite Sam), whom would always pursuit them in his police cruiser, even though the gangster rabbits would always foil his plans.

Bugs Bunny

Honey Bunny

Honey Bunny is a female rabbit and is Bugs Bunny's former girlfriend. She was used for merchandising purposes and she never appeared in an animated short. However, cartoons such as "Hold the Lion, Please," and "Hare Splitter," feature very similar rabbits to Honey Bunny. She was mostly featured in the Dell comics series. Honey Bunny was planned to star in the 1996 film Space Jam, but she was replaced with the character Lola Bunny.

Lola Bunny

Beaky Buzzard and Mama Buzzard

Beaky Buzzard is a buzzard (although he more closely resembles a vulture or condor) with black body feathers and a white tuft around his throat. His neck is long and thin, bending 90 degrees at an enormous adam's apple. His neck and head are featherless, and his beak is large and yellow or orange, depending on the cartoon. Beaky bears a perpetual goofy grin, and his eyes look eternally half-asleep.

The character first appeared in the 1942 cartoon Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid, directed by Bob Clampett. The cartoon's plot revolves around the hopeless attempts of the brainless buzzard, here called Killer, to catch Bugs Bunny for his domineering Greek mother back at the nest. Beaky's voice was modeled after ventriloquist Edgar Bergen's character Mortimer Snerd, earning Beaky the nickname "Snerd Bird." The voice itself was provided by voice actor Kent Rogers.

Clampett brought the character back in the 1945 film The Bashful Buzzard, a cartoon that closely mirrors its predecessor, only this time featuring Beaky's hapless hunting without scenes of him chasing Bugs for food. Rogers reprised his role as the character's voice for the film, but he died in a Naval aviation training accident at Pensacola, Florida before finishing all his dialogue, so Stan Freberg was brought in to finish the work (as was Eddie Bartell, according to some sources).

Warner Bros. apparently thought they had something in the character, and Beaky was featured in much of the Looney Tunes merchandising of the time. He also appeared in several issues of Dell Comics' Looney Tunes series of comic books, usually paired with another minor player, Henery Hawk.

Clampett left the studio in 1946, ending Beaky's career for a time. The character was eventually brought back in the 1950 Friz Freleng film The Lions Busy, now voiced by the versatile Mel Blanc. Freleng made the buzzard smarter, pitting him against a dim-witted lion named Leo. Bob McKimson also featured the character in a film that year, Strife with Father. McKimson's Beaky is again back to his idiotic self, this time under the tutelage of his adoptive father, a sparrow who is trying to teach Beaky how to survive in the wild.

Most recently Beaky Buzzard has had minor roles in various Warner Bros. projects, such as Tiny Toon Adventures, where he plays the mentor of the character; Concord Condor, and the films Space Jam (1996, as a team player) and 2003's Looney Tunes: Back in Action as an Acme pilot, and is voiced by Joe Alaskey in both films. Beaky Buzzard appeared in the video game Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time and was used as an enemy in Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle 4. He also appeared in the Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries in the episode "3 Days & 2 Nights of the Condor", where he was again voiced by Alaskey. Beaky's mother, who appeared in many of his original shorts, also appeared in an episode of the show (voiced by June Foray). Beaky was put in one episode of Duck Dodgers.

Beaky Buzzard is planned to appear in The Looney Tunes Show. Beaky Buzzard also appears in The Looney Tunes Show opening.

C

Canyon Kiddies

The Canyon Kiddies are a group of kids in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of theatrical shorts. They appeared in very few shorts, the first being "The Mighty Hunters." The Canyon Kiddies never became very popular Looney Tunes stars, however they appeared in the 1996 film Space Jam.

Casbah Bunny

A stupid rabbit that appeared in "Hare Splitter." He was the rival to Bugs Bunny, fighting over Daisy Bunny.

Casper Caveman

Casper Caveman is a caveman that is a star in the Merrie Melodies series of classic shorts. He and his brachiosaurus hunt for Daffy Duck in their one appearance Daffy Duck and the Dinosaur. Casper is depicted as a grouchy and hungry, black-haired caveman and is probably an early version of Elmer Fudd. Casper was also seen in the 1996 film Space Jam.

Cecil Turtle

Cecil Turtle is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of films. Though he made only three theatrical appearances, Cecil is remarkable in that he is one of the very few characters who was able to beat Bugs Bunny, and the only one to do so three times in a row and at the rabbit's own game.

Animator Tex Avery introduced Cecil in the short Tortoise Beats Hare, released on March 15, 1941. Even from the cartoon's opening titles, Avery lets on that Bugs Bunny is about to meet his match. Bugs wanders onto the screen munching his obligatory carrot and absent-mindedly begins reading the title card, grossly mispronouncing most of the credits, such as /əˈvɛrɪ/ for "Avery" rather than the correct /ˈeɪvərɪ/. When he finally gets to the title itself, he becomes outraged, tears apart the title card, and rushes to Cecil Turtle's house. He then bets the little, sleepy-eyed turtle ten dollars that he can beat him in a race.

Cecil accepts Bugs' bet, and the race begins several days later. Bugs races away at top speed just before finishing the shout of, "Get on your mark, get set, go!" Cecil quickly (for him, anyway) goes to a public telephone and calls up Chester Turtle. After talking to Chester about the bet, he tells him to call "the boys" (cousins), and tell them to be ready when he comes to their position, and to "give him the works". Chester calls the relatives, all of whom look and sound like Cecil (some have deeper voices, some have higher voices), and relays the message. As Bugs runs relentlessly toward the finish line, Cecil and the other turtles take turns showing up at just the right moment to baffle the bunny. In the end, Bugs is convinced he has won, only to see Cecil (or one of his kin) across the finish demanding the money. Bugs suggests that he has been tricked, and all nine turtles approach and reply, "It's a possibility!" Voice actor Mel Blanc supplies Cecil's drowsy drawl, which is like a slowed-down version of Blanc's later characterization of Barney Rubble.

"Tortoise Beats Hare" follows one of the many folk variants of the Aesop fable "The Tortoise and the Hare" in which the faster beast is deceived by look-alikes placed along the course.^[1] More directly, it is Avery's parody of the 1935 Disney Silly Symphony, The Tortoise and the Hare. Avery left Warner Bros. before he could produce any new cartoons featuring Cecil. However, he introduced a similar character in 1943 named Droopy. Droopy would even take some of his tricks from his slow-and-steady predecessor, such as using his relatives to help him outsmart a wolf.

Bob Clampett took Avery's scenario and altered it for his film Tortoise Wins by a Hare released on February 20, 1943. The title is an appropriate pun on "hair". Bugs again challenges Cecil to a race after viewing footage from their previous encounter two years earlier (which seems to depict Cecil as having won fairly instead of by cheating Bugs with his cousins). Bugs then goes to Cecil's tree home disguised as an old man (a parody of Bill Thompson's "Old Timer" character from Fibber McGee and Molly) to ask the turtle his secret. Cecil, not in the least bit fooled by the disguise remarks, "Clean livin', friend. Clean livin'...". And then reveals his streamlined shell lets him win, and produces a set of blueprints for his "air-flow chassis". The turtle ends the conversation with the comment, "Oh, and another thing... Rabbits aren't very bright, either!" just before slamming the door in the enraged bunny's face. Not getting the hint that the turtle's story is a humbug, Bugs builds the device and prepares for the race.

Meanwhile, the bunny mob learns of the upcoming match-up and places all its bets on Bugs. ("In fact, we don't even think that the toitle will finish... Do we, boys?" "Duh, no, Boss, no!") The race begins, and Bugs still outpaces his reptilian rival. However, in his new get-up, the dim-witted gangsters mistake him for the turtle. Cecil reinforces this misconception by dressing in a gray rabbit suit and munching on some delicious carrots. The mobsters thus make the shelled Bugs' run a nightmare, ultimately giving the race to Cecil (in an aside to the audience, as the rabbits cheer him, Cecil remarks, "I told you rabbits aren't very bright!"). When Bugs removes the chassis and sobbingly reveals that he's the rabbit, the rabbit gangsters remark, in mock-Bugsy style, "Ehhh, now he tells us!" and commit suicide by shooting themselves with a single bullet that goes through the sides of all of their apparently soft heads. (The final gag is often cut when shown on basic cable television but can be found uncut on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 1.)

Cecil and Bugs would have one final match up in Friz Freleng's cartoon, Rabbit Transit, released on May 10, 1947. The title is a play of Rapid Transit. Unlike Tortoise Wins by a Hare, this cartoon presumes that Bugs and Cecil have never met before now. While relaxing in a steam bath, Bugs reads about the original fable and, as he did reading the credits of Tortoise Beats Hare, becomes incensed at the idea of a turtle outrunning a rabbit. Cecil, also in the steam bath, claims that he could outrun Bugs, prompting Bugs to challenge him to a race (again, as in Tortoise Beats Hare, although at least here Bugs receives some provocation). This time, Bugs and Cecil agree to no cheating. Cecil, however, quickly reveals that his shell is now rocket propelled, allowing him to go a surprising combination between fast and slow. Bugs does his best to steal, dismantle, and destroy the device, but all to little effect. In the end, however, Bugs does manage to top the turtle and crosses the finish line first. Nevertheless, it is Cecil who has the last laugh when he rooks the rabbit into confessing to "doing 100 easy" -- in a 30-miles-per-hour zone. Bugs is taken away by the police to enjoy his victory—behind bars. Cecil closes out the cartoon by saying Bugs' famous line, "Ain't I a...um...stinker?" Iris-out.

The Warners directors retired Cecil after his third showdown with Bugs. Nevertheless, Cecil has made occasional cameos in later projects. He is seen briefly in the 1996 film Space Jam and the 2003 DVD Looney Tunes: Reality Check, his voice now provided by Joe Alaskey. He's also made cameo in an episode in The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries. He also features in some issues of the Looney Tunes comic book. His only notable Warner Bros. Animation Looney Tunes short cameo came in 1954's Devil May Hare, which was directed by Robert McKimson, Sr. and pitted Bugs against the Tasmanian Devil, who made his debut here.

Cecil Turtle will appear in The Looney Tunes Show voiced by Joe Alaskey. Cecil also appears in The Looney Tunes Show opening.

The Champ

The Champion or simply The Champ, is a brutish boxer in the Merrie Melodies shorts. He first appeared in the 1948 cartoon "Rabbit Punch." This cartoon was also put in a segment of the short "His Hare-Raising Tale." The Champ has a close resemblance to The Crusher, a boxer from "Bunny Hugged."

Charles M. Wolf

Charles M. Wolf (or as his wife calls him, Charlie) is a dimwitted wolf who appeared in "Red Riding Hoodwinked" (1955) and "Hare-Less Wolf" (1958). His name is only given in the second feature and apparently spoofs animator Chuck Jones, whose real name was Charles Martin Jones. In his first appearance, his design resembled a modified version of Sylvester The Cat, but in his later appearance, his design was greatly simplified to make it look aardvark-like.

Chimp and Zee

Chimp and Zee is a 1968 Looney Tunes animated theatrical cartoon. The plot revolves around a hunter in the jungle, who is after the blue-tailed simian. He sees Chimp, who is aided by the jungle boy Zee, and together, Chimp and Zee outsmart the hunter. Chimp and Zee were never featured in any further short.

Cicero Pig

Cicero Pig is a character that appears in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of Dell Comics. He serves as the nephew of Porky Pig, and is very naughty and mischievous. Cicero Pig is not the same character as Porky's nephew, Pinky, who appeared in the classic short "Porky's Picnic."

Clarence Cat

He is a wise, orange cat that appears in "Birds Anonymous." He is the leader of a club called the B.A. (Birds Anonymous.) He attempts to help Sylvester with his bird addiction. The results are not successful. He also appears in The Looney, Looney, Looney, Bugs Bunny Movie. Clarence appears in The Looney Tunes Show Merrie Melodies segment, "Blow My Stack."

Claude Cat

Claude Cat (a pun on the homophone "clawed cat") had his origins in several other cat characters used by Chuck Jones from 1940 to 1945. These cats were mostly similar in appearance and temperament, with black fur and anxious personalities. For example, in the 1943 film The Aristo-cat (the character's first speaking role), Jones paired his unnamed cat against the mind-manipulating mouse duo, Hubie and Bertie.

Jones redesigned the neurotic feline for the 1948 film Mouse Wreckers (perhaps to distinguish him from Friz Freleng's popular puss, Sylvester). The short is another Hubie and Bertie vehicle, only this time, the antagonist they antagonize is Claude, drawn as he would appear in all future cartoons: yellow, with a red shock of hair and a white belly (his exact markings would vary from cartoon to cartoon). In this as in all future Claude Cat cartoons, Jones' careful attention to personality is easily evident. Claude is a nervous and lazy animal. His attempts to protect his home from the manipulative mice Hubie and Bertie prove futile as the rodents torment him by (among other things) putting aquariums in all the windows to make Claude think he's underwater or by nailing his furniture to the ceiling. Jones set the mice on Claude once more in the 1950 film The Hypo-Chondri-Cat. This time, the miniature Machiavellis convince the neurotic Claude that he's dead. Claude would run afoul of the mice once more in 1951's Cheese Chasers and against another mouse duo in Mouse Warming in 1952.

Jones added another idiosyncrasy to Claude's id in another 1950 film, Two's a Crowd. Here, Claude is scared out of his mind by a diminutive dog named Frisky Puppy, newly adopted by Claude's owners. The main theme, however, is jealousy as Claude's attempts to oust the intruder repeatedly fail due to the cat's intense cowardice - a running gag has Claude repeatedly shooting up and clinging to the ceiling after the pup playfully comes up behind him and barks. At the end, however Claude gets revenge by pulling the same trick causing the dog to comically leap up and cling to the ceiling. Jones repeated the scenario with slight variations in Terrier Stricken in 1952 and No Barking in 1954 (the latter featuring a cameo by Tweety Bird).

In future cartoons, Jones recast Claude as a silent villain, still possessing his full set of neuroses. This stage of the character's evolution is best exemplified by the 1954 film Feline Frame-Up. Here, Claude convinces his owner that fellow pet Marc Antony is trying to eat the precious kitten Pussyfoot. Marc Antony is tossed out, allowing Claude the run of the house. That is, until Marc Antony outwits the cat and makes him sign a confession admitting to his crimes.

Claude was played by voice actor Mel Blanc and after classic films, Joe Alaskey using a quirky, strangulated voice similar to that of Marvin the Martian (but without Marvin's precise enunciation).

Jones retired Claude in the late 1950s. He was concentrating on other characters, such as Wile E. Coyote and Pepe le Pew. Nevertheless, the character enjoys some popularity as one of Jones' more humorous, if forgotten, creations. In the 2006 Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas, Claude Cat has a very brief cameo as an employee going home for Christmas.

Claude Cat is planned to appear in The Looney Tunes Show. Claude Cat also appears in The Looney Tunes Show opening.

Claude Hopper

Claude Hopper is a prideful (and stupid) kangaroo in the Looney Tunes series, not to be confused with Hippety Hopper. He only appeared in the theatrical short "Hop and Go," where he was taken advantage of by Scottish rabbits. His voice is similar to the Disney character Goofy. His voice was provided by Pinto Colvig. He also made an appearance in the crowd scenes of the 1996 film Space Jam, during the basketball match against the Monstars.

Cliffy the Clown

Cliffy the Clown is a clown that is a star in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of Dell Comics based on the Warner Bros. series of classic animated cartoons. Cliffy the Clown was never seen in animation, and is strictly a comic book character.

Clyde Rabbit

Clyde Rabbit is the nephew of Bugs Bunny from two cartoons tiled His Hare-Raising Tale and Yankee Doodle Bugs and he also appeared in the 1996 film Space Jam. He has also appeared in some recent Looney Tunes Christmas specials.

Conrad the Cat

Conrad the Cat starred in a few shorts in the 1940s all directed by Chuck Jones. He first appeared in the 1942 short The Bird Came C.O.D.^[2] before featuring in Porky's Cafe (1942) and Conrad the Sailor (1942).^[3] He was voiced by Pinto Colvig, the original voice actor of Goofy.

Cookie

Cookie was the flapper woman, who is a girlfriend for Buddy. Cookie may resemble the character Betty Boop. She is has a black hair and a white shirt and black shoes. She also has a baby brother named Baby Elmer (not to be confused with Elmer Fudd) who only made one appearance. In some shorts, Cookie has blond braided hair.

Cool Cat and Colonel Rimfire

Cool Cat was a tiger (whose design was very similar to that of The Pink Panther, who first appeared on screen four years earlier, and Snagglepuss) who wore a stylish green beret and scarf. Unlike most other Looney Tunes characters, Cool Cat was unapologetically a product of his time. He spoke in 1960s-style beatnik slang and acted much like a stereotypical laid-back 1960s teenager — he was often seen strumming a guitar or traveling cross-country in his dune buggy. One cartoon — McKimson's Bugged by a Bee — depicted him as an alumnus of "Disco Tech" playing varsity football against the long-haired team from "Hippie University"..

However, most of Cool Cat's cartoons dealt with his encounters with Colonel Rimfire (both voiced by Larry Storch), a fussy, British-accented big-game hunter armed with a shotgun. Rimfire essentially acted as the Elmer Fudd to Cool Cat's Bugs Bunny, but was used only by Lovy. Cool Cat bears the distinction of starring in the very last cartoon produced at the classic Warner Bros. Cartoons studio: Injun Trouble in 1969. Shortly after this cartoon was produced, the venerable animation studio shut down for good.

His cartoons can easily be distinguished from most of the other Looney Tunes cartoons, for they feature an updated Looney Tunes logo with stylized animation, a 1967 remix of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" by William Lava, and featuring the then-current Warner Bros.-Seven Arts logo (a combination of a simple W and 7 inside a stylized shield outline).

Cool Cat made later appearances in the television series The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries, including the 2000 direct-to-video movie Tweety's High-Flying Adventure (Colonel Rimfire also appeared in the latter). He made brief cameos in most, if not all of the episodes, appearing on posters in the background, walking by in street scenes, etc. His appearances aren't entirely overlooked by the cast, for Tweety has once responded to Cool Cat's appearance with "We had to get him in this cartoon somewhere." He was voiced by Joe Alaskey and Jim Cummings in these later appearances.

Cool Cat and Colonel Rimfire are the only W-7 Arts characters to make any further appearances, beyond the classic era shorts, to date.

Classic shorts: (1967-1969)

Despite their few cartoon appearances, Cool Cat and Colonel Rimfire have appeared in several other WB productions.

Cornbread the Bird

Cornbread the Bird is the name of a young, clever bluebird that starred in the Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated theatrical cartoons. Cornbread has appeared in a total of three classic cartoons. His appearance was slightly changed in all three cartoons.

"No Barking" - Debut appearance; Cameo.
"Father of the Bird" - Paired with Sylvester.
"Swallow the Leader" - Paired with Black and White Cat.

Cottontail Smith

Cottontail Smith is a Looney Tunes character and a Yosemite Sam-like rabbit-hater who appears in the cartoon Super-Rabbit. He and his horse attempt to get rid of all the rabbits, but Bugs Bunny messes up his plans in order to save the rabbits. Cottontail Smith can also be seen in the 1996 film Space Jam and the 2003 film Looney Tunes: Back in Action.

Count Blood Count

Count Blood Count (originally voiced by Mel Blanc and later by Bill Farmer, Frank Welker and Jeff Bennett) is a vampire from the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes animated shorts.

The Count's first appearance was in the 1963 short, Transylvania 6-5000. In this short, Bugs goes to Transylvania and looks for a telephone at what he thinks is a motel (but is in reality an ominous castle). At the castle, Bugs meets Count Blood Count and is given a room for the night (much to his chagrin) by the blood-thirsty vampire. Unable to sleep, Bugs skims through a magic book and reads it aloud. When the Count appears above the bed and tries to suck Bugs' blood, he turns into a bat when Bugs says "abracadabra". Later, when Bugs says "hocus pocus," the Count turns back to human form just outside the castle window, where he falls into the moat. Later, while wandering around the castle, Bugs sings the aforementioned magic phrases, turning the Count into a bat, then back to a vampire. When the Count states that he is a vampire, Bugs turns into an umpire. When the Count turns into a bat, Bugs turns into a baseball bat and hits him (despite the Count's bat form wearing glasses). The Count tries to crush Bugs with a piece of the floor only to turn into a bat and get crushed many times. Amused by the results, Bugs says random words which turn the Count into a whole range of things: "abraca-pocus" turns the Count into a being with his bat head and human form body, while "hocus-cadabra" does the opposite (the Count's human head with his bat form's wings). When Bugs says "Newport News," the Count turns into Witch Hazel, another Looney Tunes character. Finally, through the incantation "Walla Walla Washington," Bugs turns the Count into a two-headed vulture. Seeing an opportunity to be rid of the vampire, Bugs calls over a female two-headed vulture from earlier in the episode (named Emily and Agatha). Emily and Agatha are immediately smitten with passion, while the Count is immediately smitten with fear, and the female vultures amorously chase the terrifed Count away into the distance, musing, "Isn't it romantic? I always said, four heads are better than one!" Soon, Bugs finds a telephone and calls for a ride home. While waiting, Bugs hums and accidentally turns his ears into a pair of bat wings. Bugs then changes his mind and decides to fly home, using his new bat-winged ears.

Count Blood Count would reappear many years later in various Looney Tunes-related media. He was used as the final boss in the video game Bugs Bunny & Taz: Time Busters, and voiced by Joe Alaskey. He was also used as an enemy in Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle 4.

He appeared in the "Fang You Very Much" segment of the Tiny Toon Adventures episode "Stuff That Goes Bump in the Night" attempting (with hilariously painful results) to suck the blood of series regular Elmyra Duff only for any light to turn the Count into a bat.

He appeared in the The Oddball Couple episode "Hotel Boo More", which was an almost exact copy of the Bugs Bunny's "Transylvania 6-5000" episode.

He appeared in an episode of The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries called "Fangs for the Memories".

He most recently appeared as Count Muerte in an episode of Duck Dodgers titled "I'm Gonna Get You, Fat Sucka" (voiced by Jeff Bennett), in which he aimed to suck the fat of the Eager Young Space Cadet, in the end Eager Young Space Cadet manages to defeat him by getting him to eat a pound of garlic shaped like himself causing him to disintegrate. In the episode, his appearance was based on that of Count Orlok, the vampire from the silent film Nosferatu. He also appeared in "Till Doom Do Us Part" as one of the members of The Legion of Duck Doom somehow revived.

The Count's voice was sampled for the Gorillaz track "Dracula", which features the lines "Rest is good for the blood!" and "I am a Vampire!".

Crazy Crows

The Crazy Crows (named Hosea and Manuel) are two Mexican crows in the Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes films. They appeared twice in the series in the cartoons "Two Crows From Tacos," and "Crows Feat." Hosea and Manuel also appear in the 1996 film Space Jam.

The Crusher

The Crusher is a brutish professional wrestler in 1951's Bunny Hugged (directed by Chuck Jones). He is voiced by John T. Smith. A similar character named The Champ appears in the 1948 cartoon "Rabbit Punch." Crusher also appeared in a Tiny Toon Adventures episode featuring two songs by They Might Be Giants: Particle Man (as a wrestler) and Istanbul (Not Constantinople) (as a henchman).

Crusher also had a cameo role in Carrotblanca as a doorman, and appeared in an episode in The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries. He also appeared in two episodes of Duck Dodgers, voiced by John DiMaggio. Crusher appeared on the web show "fast food" on looneytunes.com.

In the 2003 film, Looney Tunes Back in Action, The Crusher makes a cameo as one of the judges on DJ's stunt performance.

Crusher was a boss character in the Super NES video game Bugs Bunny Rabbit Rampage. Seen in the background are various Looney Tunes characters, and Pepe Le Pew is waving a pennant that reads "Le Crusher".

The Crusher also appeared in The Looney Tunes Show episode "Jailbird and Jailbunny" as an inmate at the prison where Bugs and Daffy are incarcerated in. The Crusher next appeared in the episode "The Fish and Visitors," as a wrestler on television. He also appeared in two Merrie Melodies segments "Blow My Stack" and "Yellow Bird".

Charlie Dog

Charlie Dog, Charlie the Dog or Charles the Dog is an animated cartoon fictional character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes series of cartoons. Bob Clampett minted the scenario that Charlie Dog would later inherit in his cartoon short Porky's Pooch, first released on 27 December 1941. A homeless hound pulls out all the stops to get adopted by bachelor Porky Pig. Mel Blanc would provide the dog's gruff, Brooklyn-Bugs Bunny-like voice and accent which became Charlie's standard voice.

However, as he did for so many other Looney Tunes characters, Chuck Jones took Clampett's hound and transformed him into something new. Jones first used the dog in Little Orphan Airedale (4 October 1947) which saw Clampett's "Rover" renamed "Charlie." The film was a success, and Jones would create two more Charlie Dog/Porky Pig cartoons in 1949: Awful Orphan (29 January) and Often an Orphan (13 August). Jones also starred Charlie without Porky in a couple of shorts: Dog Gone South (26 August 1950) which sees Yankee Charlie searching for a fine gentleman of the Southern United States, and A Hound for Trouble (28 April 1951) which sends Charlie to Italy where he searches for a master who speaks English.

In these cartoons, Charlie Dog is defined by one desire: to find himself a master. To this end, Charlie is willing to pull out all the stops, from pulling "the big soulful eyes routine" to boasting of his pedigree ("Fifty percent Collie! Fifty percent setter, Irish Setter! Fifty Percent Boxer! Fifty percent Doberman Pincher! Fifty percent pointer—there it is! There it is! There it is! But, mostly, I'm all Labrador Retriever!") when reminded by others that he is not a Labrador retriever, his response would be, "If you'll find me a Labrador, I'll retrieve it for you." —though in reality, he is just a slick-talking mutt who rarely realizes that his own aggressive obnoxiousness is sabotaging his appeal to any potential guardian.

Charlie makes a brief cameo appearance (via re-used animation from Often an Orphan) in the Bob McKimson-directed short Dog Tales (1958). Jones shelved the Charlie Dog series of films in the 1950s, along with other characters he had introduced, such as The Three Bears and Hubie and Bertie. He was turning his efforts to new characters, such as Pepé Le Pew and Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner. However, recent Warner Bros. merchandising and series and films such as episodes of Tiny Toon Adventures, the film Space Jam (1996) in the crowd scenes (here performed by Frank Welker), and Tweety's High-flying Adventure (2000) in Italy have brought Charlie back out of retirement.

The Frisky Puppy character that Jones paired with Claude Cat in several '50s shorts bears a close physical resemblance to Charlie.

Charlie Dog is planned to appear in The Looney Tunes Show. Charlie Dog also appears in The Looney Tunes Show opening.

Doctor I.Q. Hi

Doctor I.Q. Hi is the boss of Duck Dodgers and is mostly bald, with some red hair on the sides. He appears in several classic shorts, also including the TV series Duck Dodgers. Doctor I.Q. Hi usually plays a supporting role, and was also featured in the Tiny Toons Adventures episode Duck Dodgers Jr. He has a slight resemblance to Doctor Weisberg from the 2011 series The Looney Tunes Show, however this character has grey hair rather than red hair.

Doctor Jekyll

Dr. Jekyll appeared in some Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies animated shorts. Some of which include "Hide and Tweet," and "Hyde and Hare." Doctor Jekyll appears in the 1996 film Space Jam.

The Wackyland Do-Do

He was a crazy, green do-do bird that appeared with Porky Pig in "Porky in Wackyland." His only appearance after that, was "Dough for the Do-Do," its color remake. He also made a cameo in the 1996 film Space Jam, and the Tiny Toons Adventures.

The Wackyland Do-Do has been given several fan-given nicknames such as: Yoyo Do-Do, Last of the Do-Dos, and Gogo Do-Do.

Dodsworth

Dodsworth is a fictional cat from the Merrie Melodies series. He is depicted as a larger lethargic cat with marking almost identical to Sylvester. He was very lazy and was proud of that fact.

The Dover Boys

Tom, Dick and Larry Dover are a trio of brothers that attend "Pimento University," a college with an intentionally malodorous abbreviation. The three (Tom being large and athletic, Larry being short and stocky with curly hair) are inseparable from each other, to the point where they share a fiancée. The Dover Boys' lone appearance in the Merrie Melodies series was in the 1942 short "The Dover Boys at Pimento University" or "The Rivals of Roquefort Hall".

The Dover Boys had somewhat of a revival in the 1990s, making several appearances on Animaniacs and a cameo in the 1996 film Space Jam.

Daffy Duck

E

Egghead

Egghead is the original prototype of Elmer Fudd. Egghead did not have a speech problem, but had an egg-shaped head and a clown-like nose. The true Elmer Fudd didn't appear until "Elmer's Candid Camera." Egghead appears in the movie "Daffy Duck's Quackbusters."

Elmer Fudd

Egghead, Jr.

Egghead, Jr. debuted in 1954's Little Boy Boo, and made two subsequent Looney Tunes appearances in 1955's Feather Dusted and 1960's Crockett-Doodle-Doo.

Egghead, Jr. is a large-headed and very intelligent baby chick and appeared in several shorts with bumptuous Foghorn Leghorn (also a character directed by McKimson and voiced by Blanc). The only child of Miss Prissy, a widow hen, Egghead, Jr. was bookish and never talked (though he mumbled when he counted playing hide-and-seek with Foghorn in Little Boy Boo). Foghorn would try to teach him to play games like baseball and cowboys and Indians, with the intent that he act more like a typical boy, but invariably resulting in bodily injury for Foghorn.

It was previously noted that Egghead, Jr. was also in the 1959 cartoon A Broken Leghorn, but that was the character Junior Rooster.

In 1991, Egghead Jr. appeared in the Tiny Toon Adventures episode "Hog-Wild Hamton"; he's Hamton's neighbor and he doesn't like being disturbed, so when a wild party takes place at Hamton's house and the guests refuse to keep the noise down, Egghead takes matters into his own hands. Egghead Jr. also makes a cameo in Star Warners. He makes a cameo watching Michael Jordan bounce in Space Jam. His most recent appearance was the Duck Dodgers episode "Corporate Pigfall."

Emily and Agatha

Emily and Agatha are a two-headed female vulture that appear in the Looney Tunes series of animated theatrical cartoons. They first appeared in the cartoon "Transylvania 6-5000," paired with Bugs Bunny and Count Blood Count.

Emily and Agatha had a revival in the 1990s, making appearances in Tiny Toons Adventures and the 1996 film Space Jam.

Eskimo

He only appears in "Frigid Hare." In this short, he is trying to steal Playboy Penguin and eat him. Bugs Bunny protects Playboy, and outsmarts Eskimo. Eskimo was never featured in any further short, except for a brief appearance in the 1996 live action-animated movie Space Jam.

F

Fauntleroy Flip

Fauntleroy Flip is a baseball player that appears in the Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes series. He is a star pitcher for his team, the Sweetwater Schnooks. His first appearance was in the Merrie Melodies cartoon "Gone Batty," co-starring Bobo the Elephant. Fauntleroy's next appearance was in the TV special Bugs Bunny's Wild World of Sports. Here he was seen as one of the candidates for Sportsman of the Year award.

Fearless Freep

Fearless Freep was going to perform at a high-diving show in the Bugs Bunny cartoon "High-Diving Hare." He was delayed by a storm, and couldn't do the performance. This outraged Yosemite Sam and he forced Bugs to do the show instead. But Yosemite Sam falls off the diving board every time.

Fearless Freep was mentioned in the TV special Bugs Bunny's Wild World of Sports.

Femme Fatale

Femme Fatale is a female duck in the Looney Tunes series of animated cartoons. She appeared in only one cartoon titled The Super Snooper. She is madly in love with the detective Daffy Duck, who is trying to prove that she is a murderer. Her one cartoon is included in the Looney Tunes Spotlight Collection: Volume 5. She appears on the cover, along with all of the familiar characters. She is most likely an early version of Melissa Duck. Femme Fatale appears in the crowd scenes of the 1996 film Space Jam.

Fido

Fido is a brachiosaurus from the short "Daffy Duck and the Dinosaur." He serves as the pet of Casper Caveman and occumpanies him on his hunt for Daffy Duck.

Foxy

Fred Sheepdog

Fred Sheepdog is a sheepdog^{[disambiguation needed]} with black bangs, and has a resemblance to Sam Sheepdog. He is the co-worker to Sam, and appears in Sheep Ahoy and Don't Give Up the Sheep. For reasons unknown, he is referred to as "Ralph" in the beginning of the cartoons, and "Fred" at the end. He was voiced by voice actor Mel Blanc.

Freddy the Freshman (Looney Tunes)

Freddy the Freshman is a Looney Tunes character that only appeared in the black and white short "Freddy the Freshman."

Michigan J. Frog

Frisky Puppy

Frisky Puppy is a young puppy who loves to play. He appeared in three cartoons, opposite Claude Cat, all directed by Chuck Jones. Frisky often sneaks up on Claude when Claude is trying to get rid of him, making the cat jump to the ceiling. With his loud barks and yelps, and obsessed with scratching himself because of fleas, Frisky seems to cause a lot of trouble for Claude. Since the puppy's first appearance, Two's a Crowd (1950), where Frisky was a present for the mistress of the house, Claude was always trying to get rid of Frisky, since the fact if Claude does not get along with the puppy then the cat can go. And it seems from the start that Claude hated Frisky, possibly due to Frisky's hyper active self. The Claude/Frisky storyline continued from Terrier Stricken (1952) to No Barking (1954). All the shorts portray Frisky winning over Claude, with the exception for Two's A Crowd, where the puppy loses to Claude in the end.

G

The Gambling Bug

He only appears in "Early to Bet." When he bites someone, they will have the sudden urge to gamble. The Gambling Bug makes a cameo in Space Jam.

Giovanni Jones

Giovanni Jones is a fat opera singer who appears in the Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. He first appears in the Bugs Bunny cartoon Long-Haired Hare, where he destroys all of Bugs's instruments and Bugs gets revenge by ruining his opera performance. Giovanni next appears in the 1995 short Carrotblanca, where he is seen at a restaurant alongside many other forgotten Looney Tunes characters. Giovanni Jones also appears in the 1996 film Space Jam.

Goopy Geer

Goopy Geer was the last attempt by animator Rudolf Ising to feature a recurring character in the Merrie Melodies series of films. Goopy is a tall, lanky humanoid dog with scruffy whiskers and long, expressive ears. In all of his animated appearances, Goopy is depicted as light colored, but in an early promotional drawing for his first cartoon, he had black fur. A month after Goopy Geer's first cartoon had been released, Walt Disney released a cartoon with a character named Dippy Dawg -- renamed "Goofy" in 1934, and notably referred to as "G. G. Geef" in 1950s shorts—whose overall appearance was very similar to that of Goopy Geer. Due to the proximity of the two cartoons' releases, there is little chance that either character was intended to be a copy of the other. Instead, both characters may have been inspired by earlier Ising drawings shown to Walt Disney, as with the Foxy - Mickey Mouse similarity.

Like most other early sound-era cartoon characters, Ising's Goopy has little personality of his own. Instead, he sings and dances his way through a musical world in perfect syncopation. Ising only featured the character in three cartoons. In the first, "Goopy Geer" (April 16, 1932), he plays a popular pianist entertaining at a nightclub. In Ising's other two Goopy films, both in 1932, he cast the dog first as a hillbilly in "Moonlight for Two" (June 11, 1932), then as a court jester in "The Queen Was in the Parlor" (July 9, 1932). All of these cartoons also feature Goopy's unnamed girlfriend who debuted without her gangly consort in the earlier Merrie Melodie "Freddy the Freshman" (February 20, 1932). Goopy would make a cameo in the Bosko cartoon "Bosko in Dutch" (January 14, 1933), but after Ising left Warner Bros. that same year, Goopy and other recurring Merrie Melodies characters were retired, to be later replaced by such recurring characters as Sniffles the Mouse, Inki and the Mynah Bird, the Curious Puppies, and, on two occasions, Porky Pig (a character who was certainly more prevalent in the black and white Looney Tunes). Many of the Merrie Melodies nonetheless remained high-quality one-shot cartoons, until 1943, when the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies merged and became generic.

Goopy Geer had a small role in the 1990s animated series Tiny Toon Adventures. In the episode "Two-Tone Town" (September 28, 1992), Goopy, reprising his role as the happy-go-lucky pianist from his first cartoon, meets the series' stars when they visit the "black-and-white" part of town. His appearance in this cartoon is updated somewhat, and seems to be based on early promotional drawings where his fur is black, rather than his actual cartoon appearances.

Gabby Goat

Gabby Goat is a goat who was created by Bob Clampett to be a sidekick for Porky Pig in the 1937 short Porky and Gabby, directed by Ub Iwerks, who briefly subcontracted to Leon Schlesinger Productions, producers of the Looney Tunes shorts. The cartoon focuses on the title characters' camping trip, which is foiled by car trouble. Storyboard artist Cal Howard supplies Gabby's voice.

Gabby looks like Porky with a beard, horns, and scowl. The goat's chief characteristics are his irritability and short temper, traits that make him a natural foil for the shy, easy-going Porky. The concept didn't play out as well as the animators would have liked, however; audiences felt that the goat's behavior was too offensive to be funny. Gabby only appeared in two more cartoons. The first was Porky's Badtime Story (Clampett's first cartoon as director), where roommates Porky and Gabby are almost fired from their jobs for sleeping in and showing up late. They vow to get to sleep early that night, but various problems keep them awake all night. The cartoon was later remade in 1944 as Tick Tock Tuckered, featuring Daffy Duck in Gabby's role as Porky's co-star.

The third and final appearance of the character was in Get Rich Quick Porky, where Porky and Gabby dig for oil. Both Porky's Badtime Story and Get Rich Quick Porky were produced in 1937.

Recently uncovered storyboards show that Gabby Goat was originally planned to appear in the 1938 short Porky's Party. However, that role was later filled by a penguin character with a similar personality.

Gruesome Gorilla is a large, beastly gorilla that appears in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. Gruesome was first used in the short "Gorilla My Dreams." He was used once again in "Hurdy-Gurdy Hare." A re-designed version was used in his final cartoon "Apes of Wrath." All of Gruesome Gorilla's cartoons dealt with Bugs Bunny. He also appears alongside his wife in the 1996 film Space Jam and by himself in the 2003 film Looney Tunes: Back in Action.

Gustavo

Gustavo (Gonzales?) is Speedy Gonzales's posse member, friend, and cousin on some occasions. Gustavo is often seen alongside, a short, fat unnamed mouse. Gustavo, himself, is tall and has a snout-like nose. He bears a resemblance to Speedy's cousin Slowpoke Rodriguez. Gustavo usually plays a supporting role, and he never became a major star in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons.

Gustavo appears in The Looney Tunes Show's Merrie Melodies segments Queso Bandito and Pizzariba.

H

Happy Rabbit

The Development of Bugs Bunny (more widely known as Happy Rabbit) was the original version of Bugs Bunny. He differed from Bugs in both appearance and personality. Also, his voice was fairly different. Unlike the Bugs Bunny of today, Happy Rabbit was more of an aggressive character, choosing to fight instead of using his wits. Happy also seemed to be quite nutty, and his laugh was similar to that of Woody Woodpecker.

Happy Rabbit classic cartoons

Happy Rabbit appeared in the deleted scenes of the 2003 film Looney Tunes: Back in Action

Ham and Ex

Ham and Ex are happy-go-lucky St. Bernard twins as well as Beans' nephews. Their names are a pun of the phrase "ham and eggs." The dogs made their debut in I Haven't Got a Hat. A year later, they reappeared in The Phantom Ship where they are fully clothed. The two would also have the lead role in The Fire Alarm. They had their final role in Westward Whoa.

Both are voiced by Bernice Hansen.

Hansel and Gretel (Looney Tunes)

Hassan

He was a brutish enemy for Bugs and Daffy in "Ali Baba Bunny." He was assigned to guard a cave that contained gold. Bugs and Daffy dug into the cave and found the gold. While Bugs outsmarted Hassan, Daffy stole the treasure. This upset The Genie of the Lamp. Daffy was shrunk to the size of a pea, as a punishment. Hassan appears in a segment of "Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales."

Hatta Mari

Hatta Mari is an anthropomorphic pigeon and femme fatale featured in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes shorts. Her name is a pun on World War I spy Mata Hari. Hatta Mari first appeared in the 1944 Looney Tunes short "Plane Daffy". She was seen as a villainous pigeon working for the Axis Powers. Hatta Mari used her sultry, feminine wiles to lure male carrier pigeons into her grasp, then disposed of them. Daffy Duck, a self-professed woman-hater (at least in this cartoon) was tempted into her home once she hiked up her skirt exposing her long curvaceous leg. The buxom beauty had lulled the woman-hater into a state of ease by her charm. At first Daffy was no match against the long passionate kisses she planted on his lips. However, he quickly realised it was a trap when he noticed her various Nazi paraphernalia, including swastika earrings. Hatta Mari then went berserk, trying to kill Daffy and steal his secret message to the Allied Powers. In an attempt to keep it from her, Daffy swallowed the message, but Hatta Mari managed to get it anyway using an X-ray machine. The message read "Hitler is a stinker". Hitler, on a device that predicted the Picturephone of 1964, replied, "Hitler is a stinker? That's no military secret!" Hermann Göring and Joseph Goebbels, standing beside Hitler, would add, "Ja, everybody knows that!" just before they commit suicide by gunshot at the end of "Plane Daffy". After World War II, most of the wartime cartoons went largely unseen for decades, and Hatta Mari was virtually forgotten.

However, she was briefly resurrected for an episode of the 1990-1992 animated series, Tiny Toon Adventures. She appeared in the episode "New Character Day" during the segment The Return of Pluck Twacy. The episode was a sequel of sorts to the classic 1946 Daffy Duck cartoon the Great Piggy Bank Robbery, where Daffy took the guise of "Duck Twacy", a parody of comic book action hero, Dick Tracy. In this cartoon, Daffy's protege Plucky Duck assumes the mantle of "Pluck Twacy" and is hired by his friend Shirley the Loon to find her missing aura. The missing aura happens to be Hatta Mari, who has been hiding out in an eerie dilapidated mansion with a gang of hoodlums. Hatta Mari uses her feminine charms to seduce Plucky and then sics the numerous villains inside the house on him. One of these is "Ticklepuss", who was actually a character named "Sloppy Moe" from two other forgotten Clampett films, Injun Trouble and its color remake Wagon Heels. Ticklepuss is a bizarre, barefooted, raggedy-looking blue-skinned man with a long beard (with no moustache) who unsuccessfully tries to tickle Twacy into submission.

According to the DVD commentary on Plane Daffy in the fourth volume of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, the blond hair and buxom figure of Hatta Mari would later be a reality as seen in 1950s blond bombshell Jayne Mansfield

Heathcliff Cat and Louie Macaw

Heathcliff Cat and Louie Macaw are a cat-and-bird duo that star in the 1948 cartoon Dough Ray Me-ow. Heathcliff is a helpless, stupid black and white cat that relies on Louie for everything. Louie in contrast, is smart and self-sufficient. In their one appearance, their rich owner passes away, and leaves one million dollars to Heathcliff. In his will, he states that if something bad is to happen to Heathcliff, Louie shall receive the money instead. Greedily, Louie sets out to kill Heathcliff so he can receive the money. In the end, he finally kills Heathcliff, but he comes back to life upon discovering that he will receive one million dollars.

Heathcliff Cat and Louie Macaw appear in the 1996 film Space Jam. Heathcliff appears without Louie in the 2003 film Looney Tunes: Back in Action.

Henery Hawk

Henery Hawk is a tiny, brown baby Chickenhawk that appears in mostly Robert McKimson-directed cartoons. Henery is depicted as fiery and determined in his attempts to eat Foghorn Leghorn, Barnyard Dawg, or Daffy Duck. He is determined to eat a chicken, but he is confused on exactly what a chicken is.

Henery Hawk was first used in the classic cartoon "The Squawkin' Hawk," directed by a different director. When Robert McKimson borrowed the character for his short "Walky Talky Hawky," Henery was officially a big star. Henery remained the main character, while Foghorn Leghorn took a supporting role. In later years, Foghorn and Henery have switched roles and now Foghorn is the star, while Henery takes the supporting role.

Henery Hawk appears in The Looney Tunes Show opening. He will later appear in an episode of The Looney Tunes Show. He also appears in the Merrie Melodies segment "Chickenhawk," from the episode "Fish and Visitors."

Hector the Bulldog

Hector the Bulldog is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. Hector is a muscle-bound bulldog with gray fur (except for A Street Cat Named Sylvester and Greedy For Tweety, where his fur is yellowish) and walks pigeon-toed. His face bears a perpetual scowl between two immense jowls. He wears a black collar with silver studs.

Hector first appeared in 1945's Peck Up Your Troubles, where he foils Sylvester's attempts to get a woodpecker. He also appeared in A Hare Grows in Manhattan, leading a street gang composed of dogs in a Friz Freleng-directed short; this is also the first short where the dog speaks & the only cartoon where the dog also took the antagonist role. After those shorts, Hector is a minor player in several Tweety and Sylvester cartoons directed by Freleng in 1948 and throughout the 1950s. His usual role is to protect Tweety from Sylvester, usually at Granny’s request. He typically does this through brute strength alone, but some cartoons have him outsmart the cat, such as 1954's Satan's Waitin', wherein Hector convinces Sylvester to use up his nine lives by pursuing Tweety through a series of extremely dangerous situations. In most of his appearances, the bulldog is nameless, though he is sometimes referred to as Spike. Hector never got his name till Fowl Weather. Freleng probably did not intend the character to be the same bulldog as the Spike he paired with Chester the Terrier in other cartoons. Fans frequently confuse Hector for Spike or Marc Antony but by right the three bulldogs are actually not the same.

Hector is mostly portrayed as a non-speaking character, especially in a Tweety & Sylvester cartoon. The bulldog also spoke for the first time in a Tweety & Sylvester cartoon was in Fowl Weather. His speaking voice is similar-sounding to Spike The Bulldog, another bulldog character created by Friz Freleng.

Hector mostly featured in cartoons directed by Friz Freleng. However, it made cameo appearances in several cartoon shorts not directed by Friz Freleng (e.g. Mouse Wreckers; directed by Chuck Jones). His colorization and character design varies in shorts not directed by Friz Freleng; e.g. in Cheese Chasers (Jones, 1951), Hector's character design and fur color looked prototypical to Marc Antony.

Hector’s most prominent role was as a regular cast member in the animated series The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries. In the cartoon, he plays Granny's loyal guardian. The show makes Hector's low intelligence his Achilles heel, as Sylvester is constantly outwitting him, and has him designed similar to Marc Antony. Originally played by Mel Blanc, Hector is currently played by voice actor Frank Welker.

Hector made a cameo in Tweety's High-Flying Adventure as the Brazilian counsellor. Here in the film, his character design has been reverted to this traditional classic-era design; and is seen dressed as a pirate. In the film, he was also voiced by Frank Welker.

Hector also appears in the video game Bugs Bunny & Taz: Time Busters where he guards one of the time gears in Granwich. He is a member of the studio audience in Sheep, Dog, 'n' Wolf.

Hector The Bulldog is planned to appear in The Looney Tunes Show voiced by Frank Welker. It is expected that he will be portrayed as a friend of Tweety, an enemy of Sylvester, and a pet of Granny. In the series, fans frequently confused Marc Antony in the show's opening for Hector, and Spike's cameo appearance in the Merrie Melodies segment "Blow My Stack" for Hector wearing a red sweater, but by right all three bulldogs here are not the same, just like in the classic era.

Hercules Construction Worker

Hercules Construction Worker is an enemy of Bugs Bunny in some classic Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies animated shorts. He first appeared in the short "Homeless Hare", which revolved around him trying to build a building over Bugs's hole.

Hiawatha

Hiawatha is a little Indian boy, that was parodied in the Bugs Bunny cartoons "Hiawatha's Rabbit Hunt" and "What's Cookin', Doc?" Hiawatha seemed to be of very low-intelligence and talked in a voice similar to Cecil Turtle or Beaky Buzzard.

The Hillbillies

They debuted in "Holiday For Drumsticks," against Daffy Duck and Tom Turkey. Their second and final appearance was in "Hillbilly Hare," attempting to kill Bugs for no apparent reason. They have also appeared in the 1996 film Space Jam.

Hippety Hopper

Hippety Hopper is a baby kangaroo whom Sylvester mistakes to be a huge mouse. The plot for a typical cartoon involving Hippety Hopper involves him somehow escaping from the zoo. Meanwhile Sylvester is teaching his son Sylvester Junior to be a good mouser. However Hippety soon joins in the action subbing for the mouse and tormenting Sylvester.

Hippety Hopper appeared in 13 shorts from 1948 to 1964, all of which were directed by Robert McKimson.

Hippety Hopper appears in The Looney Tunes Show opening.

Mr. Hook

Mr. Jones is a character created by Warner Brothers studios, during the World War II era, along with Private Snafu, who became much more popular. Mr. Hook is a salor in the army.

Hubie and Bertie

Hubie and Bertie are a grey mouse and brown mouse duo that were paired with Chuck Jones's Claude Cat. They were voiced by Mel Blanc and Stan Freberg. Hubie is the leader and is the brains of the operation, while Bertie is of low-intelligence. The plot for most trypical Hubie and Bertie cartoons revolves around Hubie and Bertie attempting to get Claude out of the house. They play a number of confusing pranks on Claude, causing him to leave the house.

Hubie and Bertie appear in The Looney Tunes Show opening.

Hugo the Abominable Snowman

Hugo is a large, rather naive, and easily fooled creature who really likes bunny rabbits. He likes to name his pets "George" and tried on two occasions to make Bugs Bunny his pet. He seems to be an actual snowman, as he melted when exposed to the sun too long. His character is a takeoff on Lennie Small in Of Mice And Men. "George" refers to Lennie's friend George Milton in the novel (and movie).

Hugo appears in the episode The Abominable Snow Rabbit when Bugs and Daffy Duck run into him after accidentally traveling to the Himalaya Mountains. In Spaced Out Bunny, it was shown that he was captured by Marvin the Martian and brought to Mars, where Marvin attempted to give Bugs to him as a pet. In both appearances, he was voiced by Mel Blanc.

He later made brief appearances in Tiny Toons Adventures and Tweety's High Flying Adventure, this time voiced by Frank Welker. In the latter he had a different colour scheme here and was also shown to like cats as well as rabbits.

I

Jose and Manuel are not to be confused with The Crazy Crows, who were named Hosea and Manuel. The two cats made their debut appearance in the Looney Tunes short "Mexicali Shmoes," which introduced Speedy's cousin named Slowpoke Rodriguez.

Junior the Cat

Junior the Cat is a cat that appears in the Looney Tunes series of animated cartoons. Junior only appeared in the short "The Mouse-Placed Kitten."

Years later, they come to visit Junior, but Junior's owner wants him to kill the two mice. Junior tries to cover up for his parents, usually resulting in punishment.

Junior Rooster

Junior Rooster is a baby rooster, that appeared in the Looney Tunes series of cartoons. Junior was usually co-starred with Daffy Duck or Foghorn Leghorn. Junior Rooster appeared in two cartoons: "The Up-Standing Sitter," with Daffy Duck and "Broken Leghorn," with Foghorn Leghorn. Junior Rooster is not to be confused with Egghead, Jr..

K

K-9

K-9 is a green cartoon Martian dog in the Warner Brother's Looney Tunes series of animated shorts. He is closely associated with Marvin the Martian as K-9 is Marvin's pet dog and sidekick in some Looney Tunes productions. He has a few resemblances to Disney's Pluto.

K-9 premiered in the short Haredevil Hare where he and his owner Marvin tried to thwart Bugs Bunny, who had stumbled on the pair's plans to destroy the Earth. He is given his first speaking role in this short, seeming quite unintelligent and gullible. That changes in later shorts where K-9 carries an air of superiority over his owner.

In recent Warner Bros. productions, K-9 only plays small cameo roles in video games and films, such as Sheep, Dog, 'n' Wolf, Space Jam, and the 2003 film Looney Tunes: Back in Action.

K-9 appeared in two episodes of Duck Dodgers, in which he was voiced by Frank Welker. In "K-9 Kaddy," K-9 is proven to be ticklish when 2 alien gophers tickle his belly and chin.

K-9 made a cameo in the Animaniacs/Pinky and the Brain episode Star Warners alongside Marvin on a date.

K-9 made a cameo in The Looney Tunes Show in Marvin's music video for his song "I'm A Martian."

Killer Mice

The Killer Mice are group of mice that pull deadly pranks on Porky Pig, in a strange hotel. Sylvester, trying to save his master, gets all the blame for the chaos, and is considered to be a scaredy cat. The Killer Mice have a resemblance to Hubie the Mouse. The Killer Mice first appear in the 1948 cartoon "Scaredy Cat," and then in the 1954 cartoon "Claws for Alarm."

L

Leo Lion

Leo Lion is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of shorts. Leo made his debut in the Merrie Melodies short "The Lyin' Mouse." Leo's second short "The Lions Busy," proved Leo to be even dumber than Beaky Buzzard. Leo's last two cartoons dealt with Bugs Bunny in "Hold the Lion, Please," and "Acrobatty Bunny."

In his few amount of years on screen, Leo Lion appeared only in 6 films, the fifth being 1996's Space Jam, and the sixth being 2000's Tweety's High-Flying Adventure.

The Leprechauns

The Leprechauns are two characters (one with a black beard an the other with an orange beard) that have appeared in the classic Looney Tunes short "The Wearing of the Grin."

Little Beaver is the nickname of a young boy who starred in some of the Looney Tunes series of Dell Comics. He never appeared in any animated short.

Little Blabbermouse

Little Blabbermouse is an anthropomorphic mouse featured in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes shorts. His name is a pun on the term blabbermouth. Blabbermouse first appeared in the 1940 Looney Tunes short "Little Blabbermouse". In this short Little Blabbermouse goes on a tour with other mice around a Drug Store where the products live up to their names. The annoying non-stop talking mouse after much pestering the tour guide mouse and a close encounter with a cat gets a mouthful of Alum making him speak gibberish.

His second was the 1940 short "Shop, Look and Listen", which has basically a similar plot except the scene is a grocery shop, they do not encounter a cat and Little Blabbermouse ends up gift wrapped. Little Blabbermouse has never been featured in any future short.

Little Brown Mouse

A nameless brown mouse has appeared as an enemy and prey of Sylvester in some Looney Tunes shorts. Some of which include "Mouse Mazurka," "Little Red Rodent Hood," "Canned Feud," "The Unexpected Pest," "Greedy for Tweety," and "A Mouse Divided."

The Little Man From the Draftboard appears in the Animaniacs episode "Pitter Patter of Little Feet."

Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red Riding Hood has appeared in some Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons such as: The Bear's Tale, Red Riding Hoodwinked, Little Red Walking Hood, Little Red Riding Rabbit and Book Revue.

M

Malcom Falcon

Malcom Falcon is a hunting bird that appeared in the Speedy Gonzales and Sylvester cartoon "Road to Andalay." Malcom Falcon didn't appear in a second short. Malcom Falcon also appeared in 1996's Space Jam.

Marc Antony and Pussyfoot

Marc Antony and Pussyfoot are animated characters in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of shorts. Marc Antony is a burly bulldog that is usually brown with a tan belly and black ears, through his coloration varies in some shorts such as "Cat Feud." Pussyfoot (or Cleo) in contrast, is an extremely cute, blue-eyed kitten to whom Marc Antony is utterly devoted to with motherly passion. Chuck Jones, the creator, has discussed the efforts to maximise the kitten's sheer adorableness. All head and eyes, it is black with a white face and belly and a white tip on its fluffy tail. Fans frequently confuse Marc Antony for Hector, but by right, the two bulldogs are not the same and are created by different directors.

Classic shorts

"Feed the Kitty" (1952) -First appearnce of both characters; Referred to as Marc Anthony and Kitten.
"Kiss Me Cat" (1953)-Followed as a sequel to Feed the Kitty; Pussyfoot got its name in this cartoon.
"Feline Frame-Up" (1954) -First pairing with Claude Cat.
"No Barking" (1954) -Marc Antony only; cameo appearance
"Go Fly A Kit" (1957)-Only cartoon in which Marc Antony serves as an enemy for Pussyfoot.
"Cat Feud" (1958) -Last pairing with Claude Cat; Final appearance of all three characters.

Pussyfoot makes a cameo without Marc Antony in the 1995 cartoon "Another Froggy Evening." The bulldog-and-kitten duo made cameos in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Space Jam and Looney Tunes: Back in Action. Pussyfoot also made a cameo without Marc Antony in Tweety's High-Flying Adventure, despite some viewers confused Hector The Bulldog who made a cameo in a scene from the film for Marc Antony debuting his cameo appearance.

Marc Antony and Pussyfoot will appear in The Looney Tunes Show. They also appear in The Looney Tunes Show opening. Fellow bulldog, Hector, will also appear in The Looney Tunes Show, and so does Spike, who was paired with Chester the Terrier in the classic shorts. All three bulldogs appear in The Looney Tunes Show, and are not to be confused for each other.

Marvin the Martian

Melissa Duck

Merlin the Magic Mouse

Merlin the Magic Mouse was a nightclub magician (he usually preferred to be called a prestidigator, though he could never pronounce this correctly) who traveled around for work. Much of the humour of the character derived from the fact that, while he was often regarded as a cheap stage magician, he knew some very real and powerful magic tricks. His magic words were typically "Atascadero Escondido!" Merlin also has a sidekick, appropriately named Second Banana, which is a slang term for a magician's assistant.

Daws Butler provided the voice of Merlin and Second Banana in the first short, Merlin the Magic Mouse; Larry Storch performed the voices for the other four films.

Merlin is loosely based on W. C. Fields.

The Mighty Angelo

The Mighty Angelo is a green flea, who is "The World's Strongest Flea," who performs at a circus. He appeared in the cartoon "To Itch His Own."

Jones later appeared in "Another Froggy Evening," and the films Space Jam and Looney Tunes: Back in Action. Neither Mr. Jones nor Michigan J. Frog's name was ever mentioned in the cartoons, but was given to them in later years. Mr. Jones appeared in some Looney Tunes merchandising alongside Michigan J. Frog, including some children's coloring books, under the name of Janitor Jones.

N

P

Penelope Pussycat

Pepé Le Pew

Pete Puma

Pete Puma debuted in the November 15, 1952 Rabbit's Kin, a Merrie Melodies animated short directed by Robert McKimson, from a story by Tedd Pierce. Animation was by Charles McKimson, Herman Cohen, Rod Scribner, and Phil De Lara.

Though Pete Puma made only two appearances, in Rabbit's Kin and in Pullet Surprise, he is often vividly remembered by cartoon fans, especially for his bizarre, inhaled, almost choking laugh, called "Ihhhhh"(based on comedian Frank Fontaine's "Crazy Guggenheim" character). In Rabbit's Kin, Pete is chasing a young rabbit (named Buster Rabbit by some fans; and though he is called Buster at least once, in the cartoon Bugs repeatedly calls him 'Shorty'), who asks Bugs Bunny for help. Bugs is eager to oblige, and subjects Pete to some of his trademark pranks.

Pete Puma's voice was used (though not by Freberg) in a Sylvester cartoon titled Mouse and Garden, in 1960.

More recently, he has made occasional appearances on Tiny Toon Adventures (as the Acme Looniversity janitor), episodes of The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries, co-starred with Foghorn Leghorn in Pullet Surprise (voiced again by Freberg in all of these appearances), made a cameo appearance in the crowd scenes of Space Jam, Carrotblanca (as a waiter), Tweety's High-Flying Adventure, Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas, and is a supporting character in the Looney Tunes comic books.

Pete appears in The Looney Tunes Show episode "Reunion" voiced by John Kassir. He is shown to be a friend of Marvin the Martian. He also appears in "Devil Dog", as a zookeeper. Then in "To Bowl or Not to Bowl" as Daffy's teammates. Also in "Sunday Night Slice" where he works at Speedy's pizza restaurant, which was called Giradi's, and once again in "Working Duck".

Peter Bunny

A naughty, disobedient and irresponsible brown rabbit who wears a red shirt and instantly flouts his mother's instructions. He has several siblings in The Country Boy (1935), where he plays hooky and raids a vegetable garden. He has a baby brother to take care of rescue from a weasel in My Green Fedora (1935).

Peter Lorre Scientist

Peter Lorre Scientist is a scientist who has a resemblance to Peter Lorre. He first appears in "Hair-Raising Hare," paired with Bugs Bunny and Gossamer. He made his second appearance in the 1946 cartoon "Birth of a Notion," this time paired against Daffy Duck. He appeared in the 1996 film Space Jam and 2003's Looney Tunes: Back in Action as well the Dell Comics series.

Petunia Pig

Porky Pig

Priscilla Pig

In Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas, Priscilla was introduced as a new character voiced by Tara Strong. She is seen as Porky Pig's daughter and also later in the film, probably Petunia's as well. She is very kind and also cute and wants to be friends with the manager of the store her father works at, "Daffy Duck". At the end when Porky is about to say his famous line, "th-th-th-th-th...", Priscilla interrupts and says, "That's all folks" instead.

Piggy

Piggy first appeared as a fat, black pig who wears a pair of shorts with buttons on the front. His coloration and dress are identical to those of the Walt Disney character Mickey Mouse before the advent of color film. John Kenworthy argues that, considering the fact that some sketches of mice which Hugh Harman had drawn in 1925 were the inspiration for the creation of Mickey Mouse, Harman and Ising never intended to copy Disney.^[4]

Piggy's name came from one of two brothers who were childhood classmates of Freleng's, nicknamed "Porky" and "Piggy".^[5]

Animator Rudolf Ising introduced Piggy as a second character after Foxy to star in the Merrie Melodies series Ising was directing for producer Leon Schlesinger. Nonetheless, Ising had only made two Piggy shorts in 1931 before he went on to create Goopy Geer. The animators who took over the Merrie Melodies cartoons dropped the Piggy character (as well as his girlfriend Fluffy) and turned the series into a string of one-shots.

Despite their clichéd lead character^{[citation needed]}, Ising's two Piggy shorts are well received by some critics. The first is the 1931 short You Don't Know What You're Doin'!. Here, Piggy visits a surreal night club where he heckles and plays with the club's jazz band. This was followed by Hittin' the Trail for Hallelujah Land, also in 1931. Here, Piggy plays a steamboat captain who must rescue a drowning Uncle Tom. Due to its stereotypical portrayal of the Uncle Tom character, the cartoon is included among the so-called "Censored 11", Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts that are withheld from circulation due to their heavy use of ethnic stereotypes.

In 1936, animator Friz Freleng redesigned Piggy for colour film. Piggy was given lighter, more Caucasian-like colour with distinguishing birthmarks. The redesigned character appeared as a gluttonous child in a large family of pigs in At Your Service Madame (which gives his full name as Piggy Hamhock),^[6] where he leads his fellow siblings in foiling a bum's attempt to rob their mother. A year later he starred in Pigs Is Pigs in which his gluttony takes center stage.^[6] This would be his final appearance. After that he was discarded with his character traits transferred for a time to Porky Pig.

Pinky Pig

Pinky Pig is the naughty nephew of Porky Pig, not to be confused with Cicero Pig, (who was strictly a character in the Dell Comics series.) He appeared in the 1938 cartoon Porky's Naughty Nephew and the 1939 cartoon Porky's Picnic. The character Cicero Pig is based on Pinky. Pinky Pig appears in the 1996 film Space Jam.

Pinky Pig appears in The Looney Tunes Show opening.

Playboy Penguin

Playboy Penguin is a character in the animated cartoon Looney Tunes, created by Chuck Jones in the late 1940s and early 1950s. He debuted in 1949's Frigid Hare and he re-appeared in 8 Ball Bunny.

Playboy Penguin is a mute skating baby penguin that seeks Bugs Bunny for help. From his debut episode, an Eskimo tries to catch him until the little penguin found Bugs Bunny and wants him to help avoid the Eskimo hunter. Then, in his second episode with Bugs, the penguin either wants to go home in Antarctica or go to Hoboken to perform in the show.

Playboy Penguin also appears on The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries and Space Jam. He also makes a cameo in the DS game, "Duck Amuck".

Miss Prissy

Miss Prissy or Prissy is typically described as an old spinster hen, thinner than the other hens in the chicken coop, wearing a blue bonnet and wire-rimmed glasses. The other hens describe her as “old square britches”.

The premise of her cartoons are centered around the fact that the other hens are ridiculing Prissy. Her first appearance was in the 1950 short An Egg Scramble, the only cartoon featuring her and Porky Pig, in which the other hens are making fun of the fact that she cannot lay an egg. Her next appearances are centered around Foghorn Leghorn. In Lovelorn Leghorn (1951), she is set on finding a husband and in Of Rice and Hen (1953) she is looking to have children. However, in Little Boy Boo (1954) she is depicted as a widow with a child Egghead Jr. and with a much more extensive vocabulary than her trademark "yes". A Broken Leghorn (1959) and Strangled Eggs (1961), featuring Henery Hawk. In these shorts, it is usually Foghorn who is pursuing Prissy for his own selfish needs.^[7]

Miss Prissy also appeared in The Looney Tunes Show episode "The Foghorn Leghorn Story" voiced by Grey DeLisle. She played as Mama Leghorn on the movie called "The Foghorn Leghorn Story."

Private Snafu

Private Snafu is a character created by Warner Bros. Studios. The word "Snafu" stands for Situation Normal: All Fowled Up. Private Snafu was in the army, and his cartoons were made during World War II to instruct the army on what not to do. Only the military was allowed to view these cartoons, and they were not open to the public at the time. Private Snafu always did things wrong, including releasing military secrets, being manipulated by female spies, and more. The voice of Private Snafu was similar to that of Bugs Bunny.

Q

Quentin Quail

He is a smart quail that behaves and handles situations similar to that of Bugs Bunny. A prototype first appears in the short "The Crackpot Quail." He co-starred alongside Willoughby the Dog. He first officially appeared in the short "Quentin Quail." In an interview with a WB historian, it was revealed that Quenin Quail was an attempt to create another lead character in the Merrie Melodies series, but never got further than one cartoon (not icluding the prototype).

Quentin Quail can be seen in 1996's Space Jam, in the crowd scenes, and in the WB documentary "One Hit Wonders," part of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 4.

Quick Brown Fox and Rapid Rabbit

Quick Brown Fox and Rapid Rabbit were a pair of Warner Bros. cartoon characters, created by Robert McKimson, who appeared in only one cartoon, Rabbit Stew and Rabbits Too!

Rapid Rabbit, a small brown rabbit (who's not to be confused with Rapid T. Rabbit), is every bit as fast as his name implies; a pantomime character, he never says a word, but uses a bicycle horn to express himself. Quick Brown Fox, another pantomime character, is a fox who wants to eat the fast-running rabbit, but consistently fails to catch him despite using a variety of traps and devices. The fox's name is derived from the popular pangram, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

Rabbit Stew and Rabbits Too! is a 1969 theatrically released cartoon, one of the last few cartoons of the Looney Tunes series (which, at that time, was owned by Warner Bros.-Seven Arts). It was a "chase" cartoon along the same lines as the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons; a predator tries and fails to catch his intended prey, despite using a number of ingenious or comically absurd traps. It was intended to be the first of a series of Rapid Rabbit cartoons which had been planned, but no more were produced as the animation department folded soon after its release.

Quick Brown Fox wants to make rabbit stew ("first you catch a rabbit!"), with the elusive Rapid Rabbit as the main ingredient. To this end, he tries several different traps — simple ones at first, but they gradually become ridiculously elaborate — and all of them fail to ensnare Rapid, and some of them end up hurting Quick. For example, Quick sets up a trap that involves a cannon and a sign that says "Free trip to the moon," among other elements; not only does this trap fail to catch Rapid, but Quick himself winds up being shot to the moon!

The duo will later appear in The Looney Tunes Show voiced by Frank Welker and Damon Jones respectively. They will be called "Brown Fox" and "Rabbit".

Rags McMutt

Rags McMutt is the apricot colored dog in the 1947 short Little Orphan Airedale who escapes from a dog pound, then meets Charlie Dog in a car. He only had two speaking lines, they were: "Yeah but..." then at the end he multiply says "Let me in!". The two speaking lines was most likely performed by voice actor Frank Graham.

Ralph Phillips

Ralph Phillips is an imaginative boy who likes to daydream about all kinds of things he sees around him. For example, in From A to Z-Z-Z-Z, Ralph, while attending school, daydreams about flying in the air like a bird, fighting off mocking numbers on a blackboard and Indians (this scene was later edited because of some Native American stereotypes and some violence), dispatching a dangerous saber-tooth tiger shark, and finally punching out a huge opponent in the boxing ring and leaving the school for the day as Douglas MacArthur. From A to Z-Z-Z-Z was nominated for an Academy Award. Ralph appeared in a further Looney Tunes episode, Boyhood Daze, where he was sent up to his room for breaking a window with a baseball, wherein he indulged in similar daydreaming, and in the theatrically diverted TV pilot Adventures of the Road-Runner. In more recent years he has figured in issues of the DC Comics Looney Tunes comic book as well.

A more mature Ralph Phillips was also featured as an Army recruit in two cartoons produced specifically as military recruitment promotions, 90 Day Wondering and Drafty, Isn't It?, both directed by Jones.

Ralph Phillips was voiced by child actor Dick Beals. The older version was voiced by Warner Bros.' regular voice actor Mel Blanc, in 90 Day Wondering, and by Daws Butler, in Drafty, Isn't It?.

Ralph has a cameo as an unseen character in the Chuck Jones-directed animated adaption of The Phantom Tollbooth. He calls the protagonist Milo near the start of the film (where he speaks with the voice of June Foray and is referred to by name), and briefly speaks with Milo again just before the film ends.

Ralph Wolf

Red Hot Ryder

He appeared in "Buckaroo Bugs." He portrays a dimwitted cowboy, assigned to bounty hunt and dispose of the Masked Marauder who is Bugs Bunny. He has a close resemblance to Yosemite Sam, minus the beard & moustache. His voice is provided by Mel Blanc, and his voice sounded more like Looney Tunes' Cecil Turtle & The Flintstones' Barney Rubble. His design is recycled for the character Tex Avery in the TV series The Wacky World Of Tex Avery. The creation of this character was revealed to be the birth of Yosemite Sam.

Rocky and Mugsy

Rocky and Mugsy are a burglar duo in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated cartoons, produced by Leon Schlesinger at Warner Bros. Studios. Rocky is short and fiesty, and is the leader and brains of the operation, while Mugsy, in contrast, is a tall, dopey stupid bafoon that takes orders from Rocky. They appear in several cartoons, usually as the anagonist of Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck. A prototype of Rocky and Mugsy first appears in Rackateer Rabbit.

Rocky and Mugsy will appear in The Looney Tunes Show.

Rover

Rover is Elmer Fudd's dog in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series. Several shorts feature him, as a minor role. Of course, the joke is that Elmer can't pronounce the name right, calling him "Wover." Rover is a usually a loyal dog, but can become aggressive to Elmer when he feels threatened. Rover shares a close resemblance to Barnyard Dawg in Robert McKimson-directed shorts, as his design varies in shorts directed by different directors. Rover first appeared in the black and white short Porky's Pooch, originally paired with Porky Pig. His next two appearance were in To Duck or Not to Duck and Hare Remover, with Elmer Fudd and this time with an entirely brown color scheme. His final two cartoons with Elmer Fudd developed his permanent color scheme in A Mutt in A Rut and Don't Axe Me.

Roxy

Roxy was a female cartoon character from 1931, and also serves to be as Foxy's love interest.

Tina Russo

Tina Russo Duck is a female duck that appears in the 2011 Cartoon Network series The Looney Tunes Show. She is Daffy Duck's girlfriend. She made her debut appearance in season one, volume three, episode twelve of the series in "Double Date." Daffy "wins" a romantic dinner for two and asks Tina, who is working at the Copy Place. Surprisingly, the two find that they are perfect for each other and have a lot in common.

Tina has appeared in many episodes since then, in "Bugs and Daffy Get a Job," on a date with Daffy, "That's My Baby," taking care of her sister's kid, "Beauty School," becoming a hairdresser, "The Shelf," giving Porky a pep talk, and "Muh-Muh-Muh-Murder," at Daffy's surprise party.

Tina Russo is based on the much earlier character, Melissa Duck. Tina has changed greatly in appearance, but has changed even greater in personality.

S

Sam Sheepdog

Colonel Shuffle

Colonel Shuffle is a character in the Looney Tunes stable, based in the Southern United States. He has been shown as fiercely loyal to this region and deeply offended by anything that he feels reminds him of the North.

He referred to himself specifically by name in Mississippi Hare (1949), following a game of poker in which he lost (three queens to four kings) and proceeded to let off a barrage of gunfire. Sometimes he is shown playing a banjo in classic Dixieland style.

Among his foils are Bugs Bunny (who defeated him) in Mississippi Hare and Charlie Dog (whom he defeated) in Dog Gone South (1950).

Shuffle played a prison warden in the Tiny Toon Adventures episode "Gang Busters".

Sleepy LaGoon

He's a duck that looks like a kid version of Daffy Duck and has a strong baritone voice. He only appeared in the animated short Yankee Doodle Daffy.

Sniffles and Mary Jane

Shorty

Shorty is the fast talking little brown hare in Rabbit's Kin. He starts off afraid of Pete Puma, but with coaxing from Bugs Bunny he doesn't see Pete as much as threat anymore.

The much later character Buster Bunny would take on some of Shorty's characteristics.

Shropshire Slasher

Shropshire Slasher is a large, beastly criminal that appeared in the Merrie Melodies cartoon "Deduce, You Say!," paired with Porky Pig and Daffy Duck. He talks in an Australian-like accent. Shropshire Slasher is very similar to Nasty Canasta. "Deduce, You Say!" was the only classic short to features Shropshire Slasher.

Shropshire Slasher has appeared in Tiny Toons Adventures. He also appeared in the 1996 film Space Jam and the 2000 film Tweety's High-Flying Adventure. Shropshire Slasher appears in The Looney Tunes Show. He first appeared in the Merrie Melodies segment "Blow My Stack," taking an anger management lesson.

Slowpoke Rodriguez

Slowpoke Rodríguez ("Lento Rodríguez" in Spanish, though some more recent translations call him "Tranquilino") is described as "the slowest mouse in all Mexico" from the country side of Mexico, and is a cousin to Speedy Gonzales, who is known as the fastest. However, he mentions to his cousin that while he may be slow in the feet, which he is best known for, he's not slow in "la cabeza" (the head). He speaks in a monotone voice and seems to never be surprised by anything. While he is the slowest mouse in all of Mexico he has been shown to have certain other (more extreme) methods of protecting himself.

Slowpoke only appeared in two cartoons alongside his cousin. The first, Mexicali Shmoes (1959), ends with two lazy cats, Jose and Manuel, the former learning the hard way that Slowpoke carries a gun (though the gun bit has been edited out of this cartoon in recent years). The second, Mexican Boarders (1962), revolves around Speedy trying to protect Slowpoke from Sylvester the Cat, but in the end, Slowpoke demonstrates his ability to hypnotize Sylvester into becoming his slave. The other mice comment at this point that "Slowpoke Rodriguez may be the slowest mouse in all Mexico, but he has the Evil Eye!". This short (which was later edited into Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales) contains a possible allusion to a marijuana habit when Slowpoke sings La Cucaracha. Despite his few appearances, "Lento Rodríguez" is an immensely popular character in Latin America.

Slowpoke appears in the Robot Chicken episode "Werewolf VS Unicorn" voiced by Seth Green. In a segment satirizing California's immigration issue, Arnold Schwarzenegger criticizes him for taking an hour to fetch a glass of water. Schwarzenegger then orders Rodriguez's deportation, to which Rodriguez fears will cause his execution.

Slowpoke also appears alongside Speedy in a commercial for Virgin Media's broadband service in the UK.

Smokey the Genie

Smokey the Genie is a genie who appears in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies animated shorts. His first and only appearance was in the theatrical short "A-Lad-in His Lamp." The cartoon starts with Smokey wanting to grant Bugs Bunny's wishes, but at the midpoint, he is his enemy; and in the end, both of them become friends again.

Smokey the Genie never appeared in a second short. However, he made an appearance in the crowd scenes of the 1996 movie Space Jam.

Spike the Bulldog and Chester the Terrier

Spike the Bulldog and Chester the Terrier are animated cartoon characters in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. Spike is a burly, gray bulldog who wears a red sweater, a brown bowler hat, and a perpetual scowl. Chester is just the opposite, small and jumpy with yellow fur and brown, perky ears.

The characters starred in only two shorts, both directed by animator Friz Freleng. The first of these films was 1952's Tree for Two. In it, Chester tells his idol Spike that he knows of a cat that they can beat up. The cat is Freleng's own Sylvester, but every time Spike thinks he has the cat cornered, a runaway zoo black panther appears in Sylvester's place, thrashing the dog instead. Spike gets easily sent into a panic when he thinks Sylvester is going to kill him and runs away to hide, giving Sylvester the chance to get revenge. When Chester decides to have a go of it, however, Sylvester finds himself at the little dog's mercy. By the cartoon's end, Spike and Chester have switched roles; Spike is the fawning sycophant, and Chester the smug prizefighter.

The characters' second outing came in the 1954 film Dr. Jerkyl's Hyde. Spike (here called "Alfie" and with an English accent) is once again after Sylvester, only this time it is Sylvester himself who pummels the poor pooch, thanks to a potion that transforms him into a feline monster. Chester, of course, never sees this transformed Sylvester, thinking his buddy is being beaten by the tiny tomcat. The final loss of face for Alfie is his being thrashed by a fly that has also been affected by the potion, as it occurs in front of Chester's eyes.

In both of these cartoons, Spike is performed by voice actor Mel Blanc, and Chester is performed by Stan Freberg. In modern Warner Bros. media, Spike's voice is provided by Joe Alaskey,

Fans frequently confuse Spike for Hector in a red sweater but by right they are actually not the same.

The pair also appear in the 1996 film Space Jam as a pair of paramedics during the basketball game.

Another bulldog character appeared in other cartoons with Sylvester and Tweety, but this character is not Spike; he is officially known as Hector the Bulldog. Several Tom and Jerry cartoons produced by MGM also featured a character named Spike the Bulldog (and his son, Tyke), Coincidentally, WB now owns the Tom & Jerry cartoons as well (through Turner Entertainment). This is another character, unrelated to the Spike used by Freleng. Also, several Tex Avery-directed cartoons produced by MGM also featured a different-versioned character named Spike the Bulldog, which also appeared in the Droopy series of cartoons. Again it is also unrelated to the Spike used by Freleng, too.

Spike the Bulldog and Chester the Terrier will appear in The Looney Tunes Show voiced by Joe Alaskey and Stan Freberg. Spike was first seen without Chester in The Looney Tunes Show's Merrie Melodies segment "Blow My Stack" from episode 3.

The Stork

The Stork is an animated Looney Tunes character. His job is to deliver babies. However, he has had one too many drinks, which prevents him from working. He appears in "Baby Bottleneck," "Apes of Wrath," "Stork Naked," and "A Mouse Divided."

Sylvester

Sylvester Junior

Sylvester Junior is the only son of Sylvester in the classic Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated shorts produced by Warner Bros. He usually admires and looks up to his father, but is sometimes ashamed of the fact that Sylvester cannot catch a giant mouse (actually Hippety Hopper.) Junior was first featured in the short Pop 'Im Pop! He has starred in many shorts, since then.

He will appear in The Looney Tunes Show, trying to help his father catch Tweety.

Tasmanian Devil

Tasmanian She-Devil

In "Devil May Hare," Taz married a female Tasmanian Devil. She appeared once again in "Bedevilled Rabbit." She appeared in much Looney Tunes merchandise and coloring books. She also appeared in the 2003 film Looney Tunes: Back in Action.

The Hep Cat

This unnamed feline is a black-and-white cat who looks prototypical to Sylvester The Cat. He first appeared in black-and-white in the 1941 Porky Pig short Notes To You{LT}, directed by Friz Freleng. He appeared for the first time in color in Double Chaser(1942){MM}. He would later reappear in shorts such as The Hep Cat(1942){LT}; the first color Looney Tune, The Fifth-Column Mouse(1943){MM} as a Hitler-like antagonistic cat, and lastly in Birdy And The Beast(1944){MM}, as Tweety's antagonist. After Birdy And The Beast, the character is eventually discarded and then redeveloped as the official feline character Sylvester.

The cat appeared in a total of 5 shorts; three directed by Friz Freleng (1 LT, 2 MM), and two directed by Bob Clampett (1 each of LT & MM).

The Three Bears

The Three Bears are a family that consists of Papa Bear (sometimes called Henry), Mama Bear, and Junior Bear (sometimes spelled Junyer or Joonyer).

Animator Chuck Jones introduced the trio in the 1944 cartoon Bugs Bunny and the Three Bears. In the short, Papa Bear tries to feed his starving family by having them act out their roles in the traditional fairy tale from which they derive their name. Unfortunately for them, when they were out of porridge, Mama substitutes carrot soup for it, and the "Goldilocks" they lure turns out to be none other than Bugs Bunny. For the bulk of the series, Voice actors Billy Bletcher, Bea Benaderet, and Stan Freberg played Papa, Mama, and Junior, respectively. However, in the initial entry Mel Blanc played Papa, and Kent Rogers played Junior (Freberg assuming the role after Rogers's death in World War II). After the classic shorts, Will Ryan and Joe Alaskey play Henry and Mama.

Jones' bears as introduced in the short are perhaps the first film satire of the American nuclear family and how its traditional roles were coming under increasing scrutiny in the 1940s. Papa is a loud-mouthed, short tempered and often abusive shrimp, while Junior is an oversized, awkward buffoon. The two are constantly at each other (usually Junior at Papa's wrath), leaving Mama Bear as the innocent (and deadpan) middle-bear, although she often resorts to thwacking one of them with a rolled-up newspaper to keep the peace. As Jones himself was never shy to point out, this cartoon and others in the series anticipate the failings and foibles that would later make the sitcom All in the Family such a success.

Jones brought back the Bears for his 1948 cartoon What's Brewin', Bruin?, this time sans Bugs. Here, alpha-male Papa Bear decides, after losing a card game, that it's time for the Bears to hibernate. Like any good family should, Mama Bear and Junior Bear obey, but Mama's snoring and Junior's creaky cradle keep Papa from getting the sleep he himself advocated. Junior's voice is here supplied by Stan Freberg, who would retain the role for all future Three Bears cartoons, including The Bee-Deviled Bruin and Bear Feat, released on Looney Tunes Assorted Nuts, both in 1949. Mama Bear made a cameo appearance in the 1950 Daffy Duck short The Scarlet Pumpernickel.

1951's A Bear for Punishment, the last film in the series, is often considered the funniest, and it is perhaps the most satirical. This time, it's Father's Day, and Mama and Junior's well-intended gifts do nothing but dishonor the perturbed Papa. Jones later stated that many of the scenarios in the short were derived from his own experiences.

Jones retired the Three Bears in 1951. The influence of the series would linger, however, as other studios copied or altered the idea. Aside from Norman Lear's aforementioned All in the Family, Famous Studios repeated Jones family scenario in their Baby Huey series of cartoons. The Bears' cartoons most significant impact was perhaps on Jones himself, as these films (along with the Hubie and Bertie and Charlie Dog shorts) represent some of Jones's earliest work.

Mama Bear of the Three Bears can be briefly spotted in a brief headshot during the final scene of the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

In the early 1990s, the Three Bears were brought back and featured several times in the TV series Tiny Toon Adventures. Most famously, they appeared in an updated "90's version" of the classic Three Bears fairy tale (with Elmyra playing the part of Goldilocks), which parodied suburbia and the mass commercialism prevalent in American society. In the episode, "Prom-ise Her Anything", Mama Bear is seen as a lunch lady. Papa Bear also appeared as the vendor in "Garage Sale of the Century" in Animaniacs.

The Three Bears make a cameo appearance in Space Jam, watching a basketball game.

In Looney Tunes: Back In Action, the Bears are tourists in Paris. They run into DJ Drake (Brendan Fraser), whose trousers have rocketed off into the air leaving him in his underwear. DJ steals Papa Bear's trousers so he can save Jenna Elfman's character from a villain.

Papa Bear will appear in The Looney Tunes Show voiced by Will Ryan.

The Three Little Pigs

Toro also made an appearance as a boss character in the 1930s era in Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time and in the GBA game Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf. Toro also appears in the video game version of Looney Tunes: Back in Action. He also appears in the films Space Jam and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
