James Thurber fans, take notice! [Hare-Raising Hare Bugs Bunny Production Cel and Custom Background (Warner Brothers, 1946)]( [Hare-Raising Hare Bugs Bunny Production Cel and Custom Background (Warner Brothers, 1946)]( If forced to choose an all-time favorite cartoon character (no easy task for me), it would have to be Bugs Bunny.

[The Mickey Mouse Club "Talent Round-Up Day" Set Design Painting by Art Riley (Walt Disney, 1955)]( I grew up watching The Mickey Mouse Club on TV, five days a week. This image of the set design for Friday's "Talent Round-Up" is at once familiar and fun. This would be a great piece to hang on the wall in someone's Man Cave!
