(I know it has been more than a year, but I only just yesterday found this article, and my computer time then was running low.) The above linked-in source is not good enough to support this article's premise, as it is given just a passing mention in a brief biography of Mel Blanc, with no reference itself. Such authoritative sources as Leonard Maltin's Of Mice and Magic, Joe Adamson's Tex Avery: King of Cartoons and, most compellingly, Jerry Beck and Will Friedwald's Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies: The Complete Illustrated Guide to the Warner Bros. Cartoons all indicate that these shorts feature nameless and more-or-less one-shot (i.e., essentially independent of each other) rabbit characters who evolved into Bugs Bunny. The appearance and voice do vary somewhat from cartoon to cartoon, supporting this (in Jones' Prest-o Change-o, he is all-white and voiceless!). I move that this article be deleted as based on a fundamentally erroneous premise, and the
Bugs Bunny article (and any other that mentions "Happy Rabbit") be rewritten to remove the same misinformation and discuss these precursors accurately. (I have posted a notice of my reopening this discussion on the talk pages of both of the above users.)
