Note from my previous post:
- Chuck Jones (September 21, 1912 – February 22, 2002)
- Michael Maltese (February 6, 1908 – February 22, 1981)
- Edward Selzer (January 12, 1893 – February 22, 1970)
I decided to investigate Edward Selzer, since he was the producer of Warner Brothers Cartoon, and so hired Jones and Maltese, where all three worked on My Little Duckeroo (see this blogs Header), so it’s likely that they worked on other animations… and that it may be mentioned on Selzer’s wiki page, where I then found this:
Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese created Bully for Bugs in direct response to Selzer's declaration that there was nothing funny about bullfighting.
Note the following from the Bully for Bugs wiki page:
The cartoon was released on August 8, 1953, and stars Bugs Bunny.
My exhusband was born on the anniversary of the cartoons release date— August 8th. AND YES, my exhusband had bullied me and my children until I was forced to leave!! So the big question— how do he bullies learn the behaviour and is there any way to change it when even our judicial and legal systems encourage it?!
In the cartoons sidebar (see below), some of the names contain a cryptic communication re: car stalling (from Carl Stalling); hairy love (from Harry Love); more rise noble (from Maurice Noble)… etc. On viewing their wikipedia pages, one in particular stands out:
Maurice James Noble (May 1, 1911 – May 18, 2001)
His birthday aka “May one” contains a cryptic “May won”… a date that is particularly meaningful to the inner twin world… and to myself personally, … since my first name is May!!
Note this next excerpt from the cartoon:
In his biography Chuck Amuck, Chuck Jones claims that he made this cartoon after producer Eddie Selzer burst into Jones' workspace one day and announced, for no readily apparent reason, that there was nothing funny about bullfighting and no cartoons about it were to be made.[3] Since Selzer had, in Jones' opinion, consistently proven himself to be wrong about absolutely everything (having once barred Jones from doing any cartoons featuring Pepé Le Pew, on the grounds that he perceived them as not being funny, which led to Jones and Maltese to do For Scent-imental Reasons, which won an Oscar, which Selzer accepted)
On investigating the other cartoon mentioned in the excerpt, we arrive at yet another notable person that connects in cryptic fashion:
Note from Peter Alvarado’s wiki page:
Peter J. Alvarado Jr. (February 22, 1920 – December 27, 2003)
