<Dumb question:  Who was watching Bugs back then that would know that?

<Granted, the kids weren't watching it on TV Saturday morning, but would
<the grownups know who Petrillo was? Was this meant for the general public
<or was WB trying to say something to the musicians specifically?

<I've always thought Bugs was cool, but lately I've noticed that he really
<has his stuff together. He is definitely not speaking solely to the six-year=
<olds all the time, but in this case, to whom is he speaking?

Just as a point of interest, and maybe even an answer:

The Museum of Modern Art in NY is having an exibit on Warner Bros Cartoons.
This past weekend I went there for my third time.  They have a video with
all the directors talking about the cartoons and at one point Chuck Jones
says:  "Everyone asks how we could think kids would understand this stuff.
We weren't writing for kids, hell we were doing this for ourselves !"

Anouncement of major party:

For all you people in the NJ area, there is a Bugs Bunny party in the final
planning stages set for Feb 1986.  All Bugs Bunny fans are welcome.  If
you want more information on this, send me email and I will contact you.
