. . . in which dating sites match up gentlemen suffering from Herpes with ladies sporting Herpal Lesions; services that pair HIV-Positive Twosomes; Love Connecters who help Hepatitis Harborers get Hitched; and so forth--in other words, Today's America. As DEVIL MAY HARE commences, Bugs Bunny encounters a being with an insatiable and Democratically omnivorous appetite. This Tasmanian Dispose-All may not be the sharpest tack in the tire, but he makes up for his Slow Starts with Rolling Stops. At first, Bugs tries to appease Taz without going all Neville Chamberlain on him. However, once it's clear that this won't work, Bugs resorts to attacking the attacker. However, Taz proves so formidable that Bugs fears he may scoot over to the Disney Lot and gobble up BAMBI. Realizing that Warner Bros. already has eaten Disney's lunch too many times, Bugs resorts to Desperate Measures. He mates Taz to Miss Taz, and Trouble flies away from Bunnyville. The point Warner is making here is that no matter how bad things get, there's always someone for everyone, since Misery Loves Company.

Bugs Bunny is doing some housekeeping, vacuuming carrot roots out of his rabbit hole when he peeps his head out and sees a stampede racing by. He finally stops a turtle and asks (after some "What's up doc? queries go unanswered), "What's cookin'?"The turtle tells him, "The Tasmanian Devil" is on the loose. Who? Bugs looks it up in his dictionary and finds out it is "a strong murderous beast, jaws as powerful as a steel trap - has ravenous appetite," etc etc. (Obviously, this was the first time The Tasmanian Devil appeared in a Bugs Bunny animated short.Main, the "Devil" wants to devour everything in sight. He's got an appetite like "Baby Huey," but Bugs tricks him every time. In fact, Bugs in kind of sadistic to the newcomer.Overall, okay but nothing hilarious. Hey, nobody ever said "the Devil" was ever funny.

Bugs Bunny encounters an Tasmanian devil in another lack luster effort by McKimson. Taz had promise, but sadly he would never fulfill on it until the funny '90's show "Tazmania". Here's he's pretty much just another foil, one of the lesser ones I might add, for Bugs. Given this IS a McKimson Bugs carton, it shouldn't come as a big surprise that this effort is a tad light in the laughs department. I just wish someone better came up with the idea of Taz and was able to utilize him better. This animated short can be found on disc 4 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1 and an optional commentary by Jerry BeckMy Grade: C+

I love the Tasmanian Devil. Isn't he so cute? So what if he eats everything! I found Bugs' tricks rather cruel, after all a Taz Devil has to eat right?In this cartoon, his first appearance, he comes across Bugs in his usual hunger rampage and wants him for dinner. But Bugs has other ideas and resorts to his old schemes and traps. Standard fare but funny and Taz is wonderfully hug-able. His TV show from the early 90's was terrible but as a character he is great. There are not a lot of Looney Tunes characters with so much potential as their own franchise but Taz is to Warner what Winnie the Pooh is to Disney.
