Chow Hound In Looney Tunes

Looney Tunes is already pretty old and this was a 50s cartoon. I remembered how my parents talked about this episode where a greedy dog got his just desserts. As funny as it is but it does have its morbid humor at the end. A greedy dog bullies a poor cat and mouse into doing stupid scams to help him get easy meat and money. Every time he gets meat he doesn't share it and he always asks for the gravy. Well, the big mean dog did get a lot of money and bought all the meat he wanted. He ended up getting so bloated in unrealistic proportions. In reality, he would have already died of a heart attack. The cat and mouse arrived and force fed him with gravy. The writers decided to leave the audience to decide the fate of the dog. IMHO, he would have really exploded and I wish he did considering that he had his ending coming to him after all, right? 

The Controversial Rebel Rabbit Episode

While Bugs Bunny was always the hero of whatever roles were given to him but one cartoon episode turned our hero into a villain. It was what may be the controversial 1949 cartoon episode called "Rebel Rabbit". Yup, you got that right. I remembered I was in elementary when I first saw it and right now, I decided to rewatch it for a laugh. But I can understand why some people didn't like it or called it an anomaly.  So what's the real cause? Bugs Bunny finds out that rabbits only cost two cents per kill. He thinks that it's quite unfair and he challenges the Game Commissioner. What would look like a friendly visit goes sour. He goes as far as to actually hurt people and what happens next is just VERY STUPID. Bugs Bunny does acts of vandalism that couldn't be done by a single person. He starts off with grafitti then it goes to be even more stupid. But wait it just GOES WORSE here... Yes, it's the whole episode where Florida gets cut off, Manh...
