The "wascally wabbit," who's faced down Elmer Fudd, Marvin the Martian and Yosemite Sam, has come out on top again: According to the latest issue of TV Guide, Bugs Bunny is the greatest cartoon character of all time.

Bugs is also the only character from the pre-television animated-short golden age to make the magazine's top 10.

What? Not "little Annie Fannie"?

Well hey, let's not forget "Fritz the Cat" for that matter.

I must agree, that's got to be among the best. Not all of the things that made me laugh as a child still have that effect, but that "Hillbilly Hoedown" number always reduced me to helpless laughter.

Among my other Bugs Bunny favorites:

Baseball Bugs
Rhapsody Rabbit
Falling Hare
What's Opera, Doc?
Herr meets Hare
and finally, because I am politically incorrect and proud of it,
Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips

HILLBILLY HARE!!!

I NEVER laughed harder at a Bugs Bunny cartoon as I did at that one! Those hillbillies were doing whatever he said, because he was calling a square-dance!

I was literally in tears on the floor.

Foghorn Leghorn used to crack me up until I became familiar with Fritz Hollings.

What does, I say, what does Fritz Hollings have to do with Foghorn, boy? Foghorn, I say, Foghorn is much smarter, even when being outsmarted by Dog and Weasel.

Wile E. Coyote! Give me a break! He and the Roadrunner are the orignal Johnny One-Notes. Same schtick, same scenery, over and over and over and over. Bugs, Elmer and Daffy rule!

Daffy Duck's performance in 'My Piggy Bank' was unforgetable -- especially the part where he turns 'Neon Noodle' into an 'Eat At Joe's' neon.

Er, firstly, I bumped the Bugs list...

...and secondly, the starving coyote represents the existential dilemma of late 20th Century man.

Take your hat off; show some respect! I suspect you're probably a roadrunner supporter.

Did you know the bird's a Democrat?...a Liberal Democrat? ;^)

"Bump your list and add Wile E. Coyote!

Ditto that! One of these days he IS going to catch the damned Roadrunner.
