Cartoon characters
can survive being
shot in the face,
blown up by dynamite,
and falling from
tremendous heights.
So to hear Elmer Fudd
died during a simple
appendectomy procedure
makes no sense to me.

That’s sad.
Sadje, so long as you keep Elmer Fudd in your heart he’ll never be gone. And thanks!
Very true George. 🙏🏼
The surgeon was using Acme instruments, I hear.
PS. Is that a ‘Meet your meal’ restaurant?
“Meet Your Meal”. Funny! That was Chip our host! I don’t know where Dale was. Thanks, B.
Well Fuddge, sad to hear about Elmer.
“As it must come to all men”. Thanks, Pam
I heard it was during liposuction.
That’s what it says in Hedda Hopper’s column. But she lies! And thanks, fw!
It is odd, considering earlier that year, he survived acute anvil poisoning.
Same. If I never see another anvil again it will be too soon. Thanks, N
Oh, dear. Did that wascally wabbit have anything to do with Elmer’s demise?
Cool photo! :)
He’s a screwy rabbit. But he had an alibi. And a carrot. Thanks, mm
According to one source, Roger whispered something in Dr. Jessica Rabbit’s ear before she commenced the appendectomy. Apparently, Elmer Fudd had set his sights on Roger’s wife after she graduated from med school. (Karma is a bitch.)
You’re thinking of Peter Shaffer’s play J. Fudd. None of that is true. Nor did Elmer compose the Magic Flute. Thanks, David.
The doctors just kept cutting Elmer up looking for his appendix until nothing was left but a film covered floor.
And as Mack Sennett reportedly said to Charlie Chaplin “That’s where you don’t want to end up.” Thanks, Geoff!
I fact checked your claim that the beloved Elmer Fudd died after an appendectomy. It’s false! Looney Tune characters never die. :)
You got me, Nancy. Elmer is alive and well and living in Arizona. I just spoke with him. He says to say, “Hey!” And thanks.
They can be “dipped” – and my understanding, THAT is worse.
That’s a myth started by Big Studio. Cartoons can always be re-drawn. Thanks, K.
I tried to respond to Elmer with a hearty “Hey,” but he told me to be quiet because he was hunting wabbits-wascally ones. :)
Same old Elmer J.
It’s elementary my dear Trefy! It was the VOICE of Elmer Fudd! Not his character!
Yeh, it was all a lie. I tried best I could to keep it going, but for what? Risk a lawsuit from Elmer Fudd? How could I ever live that down? Thanks. Janny!
Welcome and Shhh… just be wery wery qwuite. (slaps knee) HA!
That very quote has been echoing in my head since i wrote & posted it. I was sort of disappointed no one said it earlier — but you didn’t let me down, Janny!
That makes no sense to me, either, George, but I’ve been in Canada for awhile. Here, they used to be able to buy a loonie toon for a dollar or a merry melody. (Two loonie toons cost two dollars and a rabbit pelt.) Then tariffs killed loonie toons, and gun laws disarmed carrot farmers. Bunnies escaping the National Guards at the Warner lot get diplomatic immunity. Oh, the inanity!
Sometimes I’ll take a walk with my friend around the Hollywood Hills and at the end we’ll stop at the Beachwood cafe for a coffee. Every so often we’ll see the same guy standing there waiting for his coffee and shoving a muffin in his mouth. Maybe he’s in a hurry, or maybe he doesn’t like to enjoy food. But it occurred to me, replace that muffin with a carrot and suddenly he’s not so ill-mannered, is he? Now he’s Bugs Bunny. And no longer does he look like he’s in a hurry; now he looks like he’s about to say some sly witticism. I guess what I am saying is is that I don’t know what I am saying. Thanks, E Sum.
I agree, a carrot is rarely only a carrot. It is also the root of the feud between the “Fudds” and the “Bugs” of the stories that toons bring to life in a way that allows us to to laugh at ourselves. Without a carrot, so much of what makes no sense would be lost, and a carrot could only justify a hike up the Hollywood Hills for a muffin.
No kidding. How many times did Elmer’s gun blow in his face, how many sticks of dynamite did he hold until they blew, how many anvils on the noggin can one Fudd take? To many more to mention though they are worth mentioning.
Thanks, cbh! And sorry for the lateness of my reply.
You’re a busy guy keeping Elmer alive.
Haha! That’s classic, George 😂 The irony is too good. Poor Elmer, he dodged every Acme trap but couldn’t outrun basic surgery.. Oh how I know and fear the same… Thanks for the laugh, my friend… 🎯💥
Thank you, Willie for the kind words!
