APDG ~ National Bugs Bunny Day - 4/30

Did you know that April 30th is National Bugs Bunny Day? Well yes it is. It's a great day to watch a Bugs Bunny cartoon or movie. Don't you think?

Bugs Bunny is an animated cartoon character that was created by Leon Schlesinger Productions during the 1930s and voiced by Mel Blanks. This character appeared in a number of different cartoons and animated short films include Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes.

This indifferent and flippant animated bunny is known for his Brooklyn accents, and his catchphrase: “Eh, what’s up doc?” He is a character that’s deeply embedded in American pop culture and has appeared in TV shows, video games, feature films, and even in amusement parks and award shows. This bunny is so popular, he even has his own holiday. A holiday that falls on April 30th and is aptly named National Bugs Bunny Day.

Bugs Bunny has been so prominently featured in cartoons and in movies that people might have the impression that they know everything there is about this animated character. However, we don’t think that is actually true. We think there are quite a few things that most people don’t know about this bunny, and we intend on proving that fact by listing some of the interesting facts we’ve learned about Bugs Bunny below.

Bugs Bunny debuted on April 30, 1938.

The best friend of Bugs Bunny is Daffy Duck.

Bugs Bunny originally was an extra in the cartoon “Porky’s Hare Hunt.”

Charlie Chaplin was also used as a model for Bugs Bunny’s behavior.

In 1983, Atari released the first-ever Bugs Bunny video game.

Bugs was the first cartoon character to appear on a stamp.

Anyone wishing to observe this holiday can do so simply by enjoying something that Bugs Bunny appears in. It could be one of the 160 cartoon shorts that appeared between 1940 and 1964 or one of the other works of fiction he appears. They might even want to check out his Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Next onto our swap:

Post THREE (3) pictures and/or gifs to each of your THREE (3) partner's profiles with the theme "National Bugs Bunny Day" and/or "Bugs Bunny". The pictures that you choose may be the SAME OR DIFFERENT between all of your partners. Please choose pictures that you think THEY will enjoy!

Only people with well filled out profiles may participate in this swap. I will be checking the night before partners get assigned.

If you get 3 pictures from your partner on "National Bugs Bunny Day" and/or "Bugs Bunny" you have to rate them a 5. The heart on the rating is for if you like what they sent.

To leave a photo on someone's profile use this code ! [ ] ( Put image address here ) With NO spaces & paste the picture's link between the curved parentheses.

Practice on your own profile first to be sure it looks good because you can easily delete there.

Pick images that are size 300 wide or smaller to be sure they fit. I go to Google images to get my pictures.

Hover over images to see their size because there will be some larger sizes there too. If you really like something click on it and go to the words SEARCH BY IMAGE and click on that. THEN go to the word SMALL and see if there is one 300 size. There are other tricks in the group thread; AN EASY way to get a small PIC from a BIG one;-)
