🐰đŸ“ș TODAY IN HISTORY – April 30, 1938

On April 30, 1938, a kinda crazy rabbit with a mischievous look and a tongue sharper than a BBB edit was born—or like, almost born—the icon that would totally redefine animated humor: 🐇 “Happy Rabbit,” the prototype for Bugs Bunny, made his debut in a Warner Bros. short called Porky’s Hare Hunt.

On April 30, 1938, a kinda crazy rabbit with a mischievous look and a sharper tongue than a reality show edit…
was born — or almost — the icon that would redefine animated humor:

🐇 “Happy Rabbit,” the prototype for Bugs Bunny, first appeared in a Warner Bros. short called Porky’s Hare Hunt.


🌀 He didn’t say “What’s up, Doc?” yet.
But he was already a jokester, quick, sassy, and totally charismatic.
Just enough to officially become Bugs Bunny a few years later.


đŸ’„ So what does this have to do with digital creative economy?

EVERYTHING.

  • Bugs was one of the first transmedia characters in history.

  • Star of series, movies, games, products, memes, and conversational AI (!).

  • He created the model for animated IP that’s now used by Marvel, Pixar, DreamWorks, and even TikTokers with virtual avatars.


🎯 Moral of the story: Don’t underestimate the first draft.
Sometimes it turns into a billion-dollar rabbit.
