Elmer's Candid Camera

After reading a book on how to photograph wildlife, Elmer buys a camera and various other equipment, deciding to find a subject to take a picture of, unfortunately for him, he chooses a certain rabbit - an early version of Bugs. After getting heckled by the rabbit Elmer tries other creatures, only for him to be continued to be pestered and annoyed.

The earliest appearance of a definitely recognisable Elmer Fudd, who is generally acknowledged to have evolved from Warner Bros. earlier recurring character Egghead. In this cartoon, Elmer still bears the attire - bower hat, green coat/pants etc – of his predecessor. Elmer would hold the distinction of being one of the few characters whose voice was provided by someone other than Warner stable Mel Blanc, instead, being provided by Arthur Q. Bryan.

The short also contains a still not defined, but recognisable version of Bugs Bunny.
