We had a couple of bunny rabbits when I was growing up. They were so calm and docile that it's hard for me to imagine them ever mastering martial arts. Actually, one of them, Abraham, was quite adept at escaping his pen and hiding, I remember one winter during a blizzard the whole family looking for him, It turned out he was right under the front deck the whole time. So I guess he did have some ninja capabilities after all.
if he was under the house it was probably a lot warmer than where his pen was. He was definitely not a "pen" pal. look, there's Captain Carrot and Dumb Bunny here to help.
ReplyDeleteRabbits may not be as good at martial arts as, say, a kick-boxing kangaroo. But, they do excel in math! Especially multiplying.*
ReplyDelete*Yes, Mr. Greenwade, I did just say that. :-)
poor ol’ Shadow Storm doesn’t stand a chance… where is a Rhino Ronin when you need one.
ReplyDeleteI'm still of a mind that Usagi Yojimbo could be part of an all-rabbit team, with Captain Carrot, Bucky O'Hare, Hoppy the Marvel Bunny, and Harecules Hare. He's already met all but the last on this blog. (Possibly also include Hulk-Bunny or Trinket, from Spider-Ham's universe.)
ReplyDelete@Cary: That's an old Bugs Bunny gag. It's hard to beat the classics.
I see our host has already teamed Hoppy the Marvel Bunny with Usagi Yojimbo once, and Hoppy with Bugs Bunny once.
ReplyDeleteHow about teaming up Hoppy, Usagi, Bugs (maybe in his "Super-Rabbit" guise from the classic cartoon), Captain Carrot, and any other heroic wabbits you can find as:
THE HARE FORCE!
(I'll show myself out.)
Bob G posted his idea while I was still composing mine.
ReplyDeleteGMTA and all that.
With some of the group's members being rabbits and some hares, I'd suggest calling them the Leporine Legion.
ReplyDeleteWhat about european character Rork and Wolverine (from "Weapon X") crossover. Andreas (Martens) mentions that Windsor-Smith was one of his major influences.
ReplyDeleteRork and Windsor-Smith's Conan will be also nice crossover.
And Rork and Hellboy, because both characters are paranormal investigators with dark past, and both authors are successors of Bernie Wrightson.
@Bob & KC: I kind of like Hare Force! But, failing that, how about the JLA (Just Lagomorphs Allowed)?
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Roger, Peter and Oswald. Now I can see Usagi being a fish out of water in Toontown. Or he could be chased by Alice in Wonderland. From B&W indies, TMNT, and on to Netflix, Stan Sakai's creation has come a long way. Plus, the Year of the Rabbit coming up soon. Keep 'em flying Doc!
