Today is the birthday of one of my childhood heroes, Bugs Bunny. Well, it's sort of his birthday. Mr Bunny had appeared in earlier cartoons. However, "A Wild Hare," released on this day in 1940, was the first Bugs Bunny cartoon (or "animated short" for those of you too grown up to watch a mere cartoon) to feature the speaking voice we've come to know and love, and the first in which Bugs asks Elmer Fudd, "What's up, Doc?"
I'll tell you, just hearing that theme music over the opening credits of the cartoon made me feel good.
