Trivia

1. He first appeared as an extra in the cartoon Porky Pig. The then-unnamed rabbit was created in 1938 for a cartoon in which Porky Pig went hunting, but the real character did not appear until many years later.

2. His voice was originally intended to mimic that of Daffy Duck. During his creation, the director of this character, I. Freling, decided that the rabbit's voice would be similar to Daffy's, since the duck was already a popular character. The voice actor who played Bugs, Mel Blanc, also provided the voice for Daffy Duck as well as most of the other Looney Tunes favorites such as Tweety Bird, Speedy Gonzales and Marvin the Martian.

3. His mannerisms were partly inspired by Clark Gable. The character's nonchalant, carrot-eating manner was inspired by a scene in the movie "It Happened One Night" in which a fast-talking Clark Gable eats a carrot while leaning against a fence. The character was also inspired by Groucho Marx.

4. He appeared in World War II military propaganda. He appeared in several short films, instructional cartoons designed to educate American soldiers on issues such as proper sanitation and not revealing American secrets. These films were classified information and even the Warner Bros. employees who made the animations were not allowed to see the finished product.

5. The man who provided his voice was not allergic to carrots. The story about Mel Blanc being allergic to carrots goes back to at least 1945, when animators told the New York Times that Mel Blanc chewed carrots and spit them out, or he would have gotten sick because he was allergic to them.

6. In 1961, Blanc was in a serious car accident that left him in a coma for several weeks. Finally, a doctor tried to get the unresponsive patient to talk by asking him: "Bugs Bunny, how are you today?" Blanc replied in Bugs' voice: "How are you doing, doctor?" The doctor later said of the incident: "It looked like the character was trying to save his life."
