Ambush Bug and Quicksilver
Quicksilver can get impatient with most heroes, so I can only imagine how frustrating an adventure with Ambush Bug would be for him! I'm guessing quite a bit, but it would be fun to read about.
Maybe Wally West made a deal with AB just to avoid being bawled out, by Quicksilver, over irresponsibly leaving Johnny Quick's mathemantra lying around for Calvin and Hobbes to find.*
C&H are the only ones I know who could drive Pietro even crazier than Ambush Bug can. Heck! I'll bet even Ambush Bug can't stand them!
For some reason, though, that Vincent Price sound-alike in "Water, Water, Every Hare" kept referring to the monster with the tennies as Rudolph! Could he have thought the fur looked more like red nose-hair?
@Det. Tobor and both Anons: Marvin the Martian apparently changed Rudolph's name to Gossamer in the 1980 animated short subject "The Return of Duck Dodgers & the 24th1/2 Century". Considering that Marvin had also captured a Himalayan Yeti he named Hugo, I am forced to assume that he was organizing a private menagerie of Terran cryptids and christening them, according to the Earthling alphabet.
Of course, to paraphrase what Alan Landsburg used to say back in the 1970's, "...that is not the only explanation to the mysteries we will examine, tonight."

*See STF #2644 back @ 2019.
July 10 of that year, to be precise.
DeleteI would not have thought of this pairing, but now that it's done it seems just perfect.
ReplyDeleteAmbush Bug is one of those characters that even the Warner siblings would desperately try to get away from.
"To quote a certain Rabbit: Only when it's funny..."
ReplyDeleteGood! Because this kind of slapstick has never a-peeled to me.
DeleteEHH,What's up Doc? Quicksilver reminds me of Gossimer(Big Hair Ball)!!
ReplyDeleteConsidering that he was always chasing Bugs Bunny, "Big Hare Ball" might be more appropriate. ;-)

The winner...by a hare!
DeleteAnd Tobor gets the gold! :-D
