First mention of Bugs Bunny in the NYT...



Item # 714339

July 22, 1945

THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 22, 1945

* Bugs Bunny 1st mention in this famous newspaper
* Looney Tunes - Merrie Melodies


This is a significant issue for any Bugs Bunny or Looney Tunes collector, as this is the very first mention of him in the prestigious New York Times. The mention appears on page 3 of the second section (page x3) with heading: "BUGS BUNNY, CARROT CRUNCHING COMIC" (see images) Very significant being the first appearance of "Bugs Bunny" in the pages of this famous newspaper
First and 2nd sections only, some various cutouts on unrelated pages, light toning and minor wear at the margins, otherwise good.
