Comment on What are the bugs in Bugs Bunny

I once read that in the 1930’s, one of the animators for Warner Bros. was working on a prototype rabbit character. The animator was named Ben (nicknamed “Bugs”) Hardaway.

A model sheet for the character was labeled “Bugs’ Bunny”—as in, the bunny belonging to Bugs (Hardaway). The name stuck to the character we know as Bugs Bunny today. The name wasn’t given purposely, but by association.

You were alive in the 1930s and able to read. Amazing.

  Sounds like your own reading comprehension still isn't so great in 2025, because that's not what they said.

    Indeed.
    
    I meant it as a joke and clearly didn’t see the that. I didn’t mean any offence to OP.

    Ah, sorry, I thought you meant it as an insult. Guess I've spent too much time on reddit lol.
