It’s Bug Bunny’s 80th birthday, and fans of iconic Looney Tunes character are sharing their love and appreciation online. Bugs Bunny‘s origins go back to comic strips in the late 1930s like Porky’s Hare Hunt before he stepped out on his own. Bugs has since remained at the top of the list of all-time great cartoon characters, with a TV Guide editor explaining, “His stock…has never gone down…He not only is a great cartoon character, he’s a great comedian. He was written well. He was drawn beautifully. He has thrilled and made many generations laugh. He is tops.”
