A different take

DoodleAugust 25, 2007

It's refreshing to have a twist on the Elmer vs Bugs theme that doesn't always have to be the 'hunter twies to catch wabbit but fails' storyline. There are a couple of good moments (I like how Bugs's plans aren't so great this time round- one of them is simply just jumping through a shut window to escape the Slobovian rabbit, and putting an active fan to her face- which could've ended quite nastily, actually!). Overall, not especially brilliant, but wins originality points along the way.
