Merrie Melodies. Bugs would not appear in Looney Tunes until 1944.
Bugs plays "Guess who" with Elmer Fudd, who guesses the names of four major Hollywood actresses: Hedy Lamarr, Carole Lombard, Rosemary Lane and Olivia de Havilland. With a speech impediment that causes him to replace l and r sounds with ws, he mangles every name.
Lombard died in a plane crash in 1942, a tragedy still fresh in the public's mind when the A Wild Hare was re-released as a Blue Ribbon short. Carole Lombard's name was re-dubbed with Arthur Q. Bryan (the voice of Elmer) guessing Barbara Stanwyck instead.
