About This Print
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.

After It Arrives
How to Frame & Display Your Print
Four simple steps, tube to wall — no tools, no specialist knowledge.
-
Unroll & Let It Relax
Remove from the tube and lay face-down on a clean flat surface for 20–30 minutes. The 200 GSM matte stock self-relaxes — any shipping curl releases without heat or moisture.
-
Pick a Standard Frame
Every size matches a standard off-the-shelf frame — IKEA HOVSTA, Target Threshold, Amazon Basics. An 18×24" drops in directly. No trimming, no custom framing.
-
Glass Is Optional
Our matte finish eliminates glare, so hanging without glass often shows more detail — particularly deep blacks and shadow gradients. If you prefer glass, use UV-protective acrylic.
-
Avoid Direct UV Sunlight
Archival pigment inks are rated for 75+ years indoors. Choose a wall with indirect or diffused natural light for the longest possible display life.
