Neither Browngardt nor WarnerMedia, HBO Max’s parent company, have explicitly stated the reason for the decision to drop guns from the series. Yosemite Sam will also lose his iconic double pistols in the series. “But we can do cartoony violence - TNT, the Acme stuff. “We’re not doing guns,” Peter Browngardt, the executive producer and showrunner of the series, told the New York Times in a recent interview.

In fact, the new series won’t feature guns at all. If you want to tell Steve exactly where your favorite hunting spot is, contact him through his website, He writes for top outdoor magazines, and won the 20 national “Pinnacle Award” for outdoor writing.Elmer Fudd is still hunting wabbits, just without his signature firearm in the new series “Looney Tunes Cartoons” on the recently-launched streaming platform HBO Max. When “The Everyday Hunter” isn’t hunting, he’s thinking about hunting, talking about hunting, dreaming about hunting, writing about hunting, or wishing he were hunting. lost an opportunity to make hunters and gun owners look like bumbling idiots. But by confiscating Elmer Fudd’s shotgun, Warner Bros. Coyote will continue to make coyotes look more ridiculous and less vicious than they are. Coyote’s futility in catching Road Runner. Now that the gun is gone, there is one difference worth noting between Elmer Fudd’s failed pursuit of Bugs Bunny and Wil E.
Injuries are always trivial and always heal miraculously in these classic cartoons.Coyote both use various tools of violence-bombs, hatchets, and more. Coyote never go hungry for their lack of success. Runner always escape and are never the worse for wear. That’s just one of many similarities between the two ’toons. would be no more effective with the gun than he is without it. Elmer is no less effective without his gun than he was with it.
They’re genetically identical, so it’s no wonder these two cartoon predators employ similar dysfunctional traps and trickery that fails to trick. They’re both in the well-established taxonomy classification, cartoonus characterus. Now, the scientist in you might argue Fudd is a homo sapiens, and Wil E. Coyote are actually the same cartoon character.
Fudd is no more dangerous than the hapless Mr. Fudd has been chasing Bugs with that antique for 80 years, and not once has that gun been an instrument of death. (And no, I never fired my shotgun down a wabbit hole.) Astute readers will recall the time Elmer did use a dog named “Wover Boy,” but the dog turned out to be as incompetent as Fudd. Otherwise he would have employed a beagle, as I did in my rabbit hunting days. His efforts to bag old Bugs often result in nothing more than minor injury or embarrassment to himself. Fudd has demonstrated major deficiencies in hunting skills. would do the nation a favor by distributing guns like that to crime-ridden cities. It’s a danger to no one, and Warner Bros. Fudd’s shotgun is woefully inadequate, an obvious fact since the barrels have the temper of a wet noodle. really cares about gun safety, they could have started with stopping that tired sight gag and bad example in the cartoon series. How many times has he looked down the barrel to see why it didn’t fire? If Warner Bros. He has shown carelessness in handling his shotgun. And I’m OK with him losing his gun rights. Even though Fudd is an American icon, he isn’t a person and he has no constitutional rights. doesn’t believe Fudd has any Second Amendment protection. A year has passed since authorities seized Elmer Fudd’s double-barreled shotgun.ĭid he violate some game law in his persistent but futile pursuit of Bugs Bunny, that “wascawwy wabbit”? Has he been tried for some felony, found guilty, and is no longer eligible to own a firearm? Were the laws in his home state of California made restrictive enough to outlaw guns that don’t actually even exist? Was he found to be mentally deficient? (Note: Fudd’s career IS under the Looney Tunes trademark.)
