Rabbit's Kin

Rabbit's Kin is a 1952 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies animated short directed by Robert McKimson and written by Tedd Pierce. The cartoon was released on November 15, 1952, and stars Bugs Bunny and Bugs' new enemy Pete Puma. The title is a play on "rabbit skin", but is also a literal term in that Bugs is caring for a "kin", here, another rabbit.

Bugs Bunny: A little rabbit? wouldn't you rather have a big rabbit?

Pete Puma: Er...Yeah!

Bugs Bunny: Well here I am. Take me.

Pete Puma: Mmmm, num, num, slurp.

Bugs Bunny: [slaps Pete's hands] Take your dirty mitts off of me! What do you think you're doing?

Pete Puma: But you told me to, you told me to, you told me to! [hands Bugs a cigar] How 'bout having a cee-gar?

Bugs Bunny: Gee, thanks. [sniffs cigar] Mmmm, nice. [sees it's an El Explodo cigar; Pete presents him with a light, but he puts the cigar in his pocket]
