Howdy, Hi! April has nearly vanished and this is the last week of the A-Z Challenge. If you’re looking to boogie with me on the 4M dance floor, you’ll find find my tunes spinning earlier this morning, here. Wait, don’t rush off just yet why not take a peek at today’s Looney Tunes illustration. V is for Villain, right? I’ve sketched a few already like Marvin the Martian, Nasty Canasta, and Taz so this leaves me with Witch Hazel.
The pudgy, green-skinned Witch Hazel ears a plain blue dress and has skinny-twig legs and wears crumpled witches hat. She has wild black hair and when she zoom off hairpins fly and spin in mid-air from her witchy-locks. Witch Hazel appeared on the Looney Tunes scene in 1954 in Bewitched Bunny, retells of the Hansel and Gretel fable. Bugs foils the witches plans to eat the children but when she finds out Bugs is a rabbit she changes her menu to include rabbit stew. I won’t spoil the rest of it for you. This is one I saw as a kid. If you missed it or just want to see it again, watch the cartoon now.
I think I vaguely remember Bugs and Hazel facing off one last time in 1959 A Witch’s Tangled Hare, a Macbeth parody, if only in segments. I couldn’t find the entire cartoon but did find a clip.
Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your day. Please leave a direct link for today’s post in comments to ensure others can find an easy way back to you. I’m heading over to the A2Z headquarters to see who’s joined the party now. I hope to see you again tomorrow for the next letter in the alphabet in my Looney Tunes Art Sketch series! X💋X💋 Cathy
