The Ultimate Chase: Bugs Bunny vs. Gossamer

Capture the high-stakes comedy and iconic horror elements of the 1946 Merrie Melodies classic, “Hair-Raising Hare,” with this brilliant Mondo-style screenprint by artist Michael De Pippo. This poster doesn’t just recreate a scene; it captures the essence of the short—the contrast between Bugs Bunny’s unflappable demeanor and the terrifying reality of his adversary, Gossamer, the large, menacing red monster.

A Modern Take on Classic Animation

De Pippo’s design uses bold, graphic shapes and a striking limited color palette (vibrant red, deep black, and pale grey) to maximize visual impact. The massive, looming red claw dominates the composition, its sharp yellow claws highlighting the danger, while Bugs Bunny sits casually in the foreground, munching on a carrot, embodying his famous coolness under pressure. This artwork is instantly recognizable to animation fans and Mondo collectors alike, celebrating the genius of Chuck Jones’s direction and Mel Blanc’s voice work.

Perfect Decor for Cartoon Enthusiasts

Whether you’re decorating a home theater, an office, or a collector’s gallery, this high-quality print serves as a sophisticated tribute to the golden age of Warner Bros. animation and the legendary Looney Tunes franchise. It is a must-have piece of memorabilia that celebrates the timeless humor and pioneering design that continues to influence pop culture today.
