March 2, 1940 –
The Looney Tunes short, Elmer’s Candid Camera, directed by Chuck Jones, and featuring the newly redesigned Elmer Fudd for the first time, debuted on this date.
Elmer Fudd evolved from Egghead, a character created by Tex Avery in the mid-‘30s. In this cartoon, Elmer still wears the same attire (derby hat, high collar, green coat) as Egghead, and sports a large, bulbous nose, which was one of Egghead’s distinguishing traits.
