Review of Portrait of the Artist as a Young Bunny

. . . a young Elmer Fudd informs an equally youthful Bugs Bunny in explaining why he has no problem walking on air. One of those nature channels said that young humans are the only immature animal that will drown if you toss them into deep water; all the other critters will start swimming naturally in order to survive. Our species, however, begins a cerebral process at the edge of wetness, with such thoughts as "I wonder if I can swim?" and "What will happen to me if I cannot stay afloat?" By the time many first-time splash people have run the gauntlet of such counter-productive musings, they've drowned. Knowing this, Bugs offers his nemesis Elmer a book titled GRAVITY FOR BEGINNERS. Master Fudd reads a sentence or two--and promptly falls. This might have something to do with Elmer's pledge toward the end of PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG BUNNY: "I swear that I'll never fire a cork in anger again!"
