Grouchy Looney Tunes character Elmer Fudd will no longer be hunting wabbits using his signature single-barrel hunting rifle.
Warner Bros’ reboot of the show dubbed “Looney Tunes Cartoons” that airs on HBO Max will be stripping Fudd of his gun and will instead arm him with a scythe in his pursuit of the slippery Bugs Bunny.
“We’re not doing guns,” Peter Browngardt, the executive producer of the new show, told The New York Times. “But, we can do cartoony violence — TNT, the Acme stuff. All that was kind of grandfathered in.”

Ahh, I forgot all about Señor Gonzales. They already have that diversity box checked. I guess Yosemite Sam will have to be Yosemite Mohammed.
It’s looney tunes already. Next they’ll change it to Emily Fudd and Yosemite Samantha.
What lunacy-— the characters require them, for character description.
what “hunter” named elmer fudd would NOT have a rifle. So that bugs could foil him, out of clever cartoon manipulations. IT IS A FANTASY, you morons.
No one— no one with even 10 year old brain will watch this.
So dismembering a rabbit with a scythe is less violent than hunting one with a rifle?
Quick!!!! Buy stock in the Acme company. Wyle E. Coyote is a good customer.
Got my trusty ZU-32 Plutonium Space Demodulator.
My favorite cartoons from childhood now a victim of political grandstanding, pandering and correctness......bye Elmer, Bugs, Daffy, Porky, Sam and the rest of the gang..
Finally, somebody doing something to end the gun violence in cartoons! This will make ALL cartoons much safer, not only for the Toons, but also for any innocent bystanders!
Without the voice of Mel Blanc, they can’t be too good anyway.
The unhealthy obsession with banning or being afraid of guns is reaching new heights.
Just another effort to disarm the population just like they did with Nazi Germany and Venezuela.
