The squid is sprinkling Lola with ACME Sea Salt.Underwater, a large squid has Lola in its tentacles and is preparing for a meal of her, but Lola doesn't seem too concerned. She just has a hand pushing back as she checks a map and comments, "I shoulda taken a left turn at the albacore." In the upper left text proclaims, "Lola Bunny's BACK!"
The squid is sprinkling Lola with ACME Sea Salt.
After an introduction that starts off reminiscent of Jacques Cousteau we see Lola Bunny fighting off a giant squid before arriving at the lost city of Atlantis. As the Imperator of Atlantis is ready to answer any question, Lola shows up asking who ordered pizza. Claiming he knows nothing of pizza, the Imperator declines payment and has Lola ejected. Lola, of course, is not about to allow that sort of thing.
The Imperator sits before what promises to be a lavish feast, only to have Lola appear in one of the dishes he is served. Chaining up the dish and disposing of it does no good, as she appears right behind him again. Startled, he leaps off of a cliff and Lola dives right after him. The rabbit suggests he pay for the pizzas and she'll rescue him. He refuse and Lola springs back, using cheese as a bungee
Upon climbing back up, the Imperator demands his guards chain Lola and put her in a dungeon. Now Lola erupts in tears and really hams it up, making him look bad even to his guards. He finally gives in and every, except the Imperator, is pleased with the results.
Sea Monkeys, in reality brine shrimp, were once a common advertised item in comic books. The characters in this story do not look like either the shrimp or the sea monkeys as advertised, but rather more fish-like. Page 1: The underwater world is indeed a dangerous place, with dueling swordfish and a couple unlucky divers in a shark's mouth and a giant clam, respectively. Page 2: The bubbles that contain Atlantis are like those that conatined the underwater city Otoh Gunga in the 1999 movie Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. In fact, in the background of the bottom left panel is JarJar Binks, or at least someone bearing a remarkable resemblance to the inept Gungan. Page 4: The curious saying Lola quotes in the fifth panel is a line from the song Turn the Beat Around the perhaps most recent version of which was recorded by Gloria Estefan. Page 6: Notice the thief stealing gold. He's dressed in the style of the Beagle Boys, the dogs that try to steal Scrooge McDuck's gold. (EC) Page 6: The Imperator's line as he runs down the steps is almost a line from a Meineke muffler commercial. Page 6: Chained to the wall are Sebastion the crab, from Disney's The Little Mermaid, and Captain Ahab.
Page 9: The chains have been left uncolored. They should be some shade of gray.On a cruise with Sylvester and Tweety, Granny is reassured that the ship is perfectly safe, but that women, children, and pets would be the first evacuated in an emergency. Sylvester's chasing of Tweety is interrupted first by one of the crew, then by a crash that knocks everybody over. The ship has hit an iceberg and is sinking. Despite the earlier claims, the crew is first to rush to the lifeboats. Tweety's quick thinking to call Sylvester a rabid dog secures the trio a boat of their own.
After a few hours in the lifeboat hunger sets in. A single roll won't last too long, but Sylvester accidently catches a fish after trying to eat Tweety. A few days later there's a fish big enough to eat them, which Sylvester drives off with Granny's umbrella. Granny, however, is not pleased by the loss of her umbrella. Weeks go by and Tweety suggests a coin toss, the loser being fed to Granny and the winner. The cat catches on the coin toss is rigged.
As Sylvester is about to go at Tweety yet again, a storm comes up. A waterspout carries the lifeboat aloft, toward land, and throws it into a building. The building happens to be the hotel as which Granny has reservations. Granny and her pets use the wedged lifeboat as a deck and begin to relax on their vacation.
Page 8: An ocean liner that could be sunk by an iceberg collision in daylight and with such a panicky crew could only be the S.S. Acme. Page 1: It seems odd for Granny to be worried about an ocean liner, and that this is her first cruise. One of the first cartoons in which Granny appeared was Tweety's S.O.S. (Freleng, 1951) which took place on an ocean liner. If that wasn't enough, later she appeared in Tugboat Granny (Freleng, 1956) steering the boat herself. Page 2: The birds above the sinking ship would suggest land isn't too far away and that drifting for weeks wouldn't be likely. Page 3: Sylester's footpad is not colored in. Nor is it colored in on page 8. Why is the ocean green all through this story? Granny seems rather out of character through this story. She's rather competent on page three, but oddly unaware of things before and after.Taz has Bugs in a big pot, but Bugs isn't at all concerned. The rabbit simply points out that he isn't tasty and has Taz sample a sip of the stew. Bugs rejects Taz's attempted remedies of onions and ketchup, suggesting instead Foghorn's Sauce. Only a drop comes from the empty bottle so Bugs directs Taz to Foghorn for more.
The Tasmanian Devil interrupts Foghorn's barnyard sales pitch, scaring away his potential customers. Getting another bottle of the sauce from Foghorn, Taz starts covering him with it. The rooster talks his way out being dinner and gives Taz a bottle labelled "Bugs Bunny Sauce" and send him on his way again.
Bugs has his bath interrupted by vegetables and then discovers the new label, which results in his declaration of war. Bugs disguises himself in doctor's garb to promote a relaxation clinic. Foghorn claims he works hard and could use the relaxation. Soon the rooster is being massaged, with his own sauce in place of oil. Bugs then sets Taz at him.
An angry Foghorn emerges and wants to put an end to things. Bugs tries appearing as a female French chef, but while Taz is taken by the idea, the rooster manages to see through it and have a scheme of his own. In a moment Bugs is trying to convince Taz to not to eat rabbit and Foghorn is trying to convince to eat rabbit. As they argue, salesduck Daffy appears and promotes duck sauce. The duck makes a quick sale, but then has to deal with Taz who plans on using it on the nearest duck - Daffy. Bugs and Foghorn are in agreement that this is an improvement in the situation.
Rabbit Seasoning (Jones, 1952) is one of the "Hunter's Trilogy" animated shorts. This story is, of course, quite different. Page 1: Foghorn's sauce "Takes the eeww out of your stewwww." Page 2: Foghorn's sauce is only recently, "since yesterday," established according to the box on which he stands. Page 3: Bugs Bunny Sauce "Tastes great on what's supper, Doc!" Page 4: Bugs is reading Pirates of the Carrot-bean, which would be a Looney, or at least an appealing to rabbits, version of Pirates Of The Caribbean. Page 5: Bugs' line in the last panel is based on an advertising sloagn for Jif peanut butter, "Choosy Moms choose Jif." Page 2: It seems rather odd for Foghorn to be selling a sauce that "...will make you taste so good..." to the hens. Considering that neither Bugs, Foghorn himself, nor Daffy desire to be dinner, why would any of the hens be so inclined?* Issue Index * Tabular Issue Index * Story Index * Creative People * Disclaimer *
