Yesterday marked the anniversary of one of the most iconic debuts in entertainment history. 🥕🐰⁠ ⁠ On July 27, 1940, Bugs Bunny officially hopped onto the screen in 𝘈 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘦—and with him came the unmistakable voice of Mel Blanc, the man who would bring more than 3,000 cartoon voices to life throughout his legendary career.⁠ ⁠ It was also the first time audiences heard Bugs ask the question we’d never forget: “What’s up, Doc?” ⁠ ⁠ The story behind Mel Blanc is every bit as remarkable as the characters he created. Catch the full story at the link in our bio. 🔗⁠ ⁠ #ThisDayInHistory #BugsBunny #MelBlanc #AmericanHistory #Storytelling
