There are a few less happy sequences, especially one involving Pepe le Pew, the amorous French-accented skunk, and it may be a mistake to use Bugs as a host-narrator.

Jones was a latecomer to the unpretentious, slam-bang Warner Bros, animation department, and if he did not invent most of the studio's great cartoon stars, he brought the house manner to its finest flowering, less elaborate than Disney's, but often far funnier.

The Pennsylvania superior court agreed with him that housekeeping has economic value: Wasiolek, who looks forward to the day she can return to her nursing career, was already providing her share of support by staying home and caring for her children. It was a hollow...
