In lieu of a serious post, today I thought I would post some of my favorite art of Rabbits in different imaginings.
Hoops (Gamma World 1st Edition, circa 1977): 2.6 meter tall rabbits with telepathy and opposable thumbs.
A different version, simply "Rabbits with guns:
Space Marine Rabbit:
Usagi Yojimbo (artist Stan Sakai):
We all have that friend:
The last one made me laugh out loud. Thanks for all of them.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome!
DeleteSome good chuckles there TB, reminds me of that song "Cows with Guns".
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Nylon12! (Now has to go look up "Cows with Guns" song...)
DeleteWabbits with guns.
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting concept.
Spend a little time on YouTube and find two short CGI films.
Cat Sh*t One.
Poilus.
Thank you for lightening the mood.
John - I have seen both of those and they are good (although Poilus is much harder for me to watch due to the ending).
DeleteJust read the daily paper, there's a comic by Chad Carpenter called "Tundra" that you might find a chuckle in today........ :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Nylon12! Looking for a way to access them.
DeleteYou the world would become interesting quite quickly if another species besides humans developed the ability to use guns.
ReplyDeleteEd, a lot of very good science fiction has been generated around the concept of multiple intelligent species existing on the same planet. It gives a whole new dimension to species understanding.
DeleteYou brought back memories of summer vacations in the Roswell New Mexico area. We lived in So. Cal. my whole life until I joined the USAF in '69.
ReplyDeleteStarting when I was 9 until 17, my mom would take me me back for long stays with her relatives. They owned (or leased?) giant ranches. The older kids would take me with them in the pick up for spotlighting jack rabbits. These were not like So. Cal. Jacks. These critters were so big, I could see there head and ears above the hood while sitting down in the front seat! When they shot one, it went down like ya pulled the plug on 'em. The first one I got to shoot from the bed of the truck, I hit lower than the kill switch. Damn thing screamed! Freaked me out, but with the command in my ear to "Shoot it again!" I did. It was High adventure for a kid already addicted to firearms and hunting.
The ONLY 22's I saw back there (and they were in every truck and at the front/back door) was either an M1890 or M1906 (basically the same gun) Winchester, pump 22.
TM, lots of folks do not know that rabbits can scream. It is a terrifying thing if you are not ready for it.
DeleteGlad I could bring back some good memories.
