He doesn’t really want to make rabbit stew out of Bugs but, since he believes that Santa Claus will not be coming with gifts for the young ones this Christmas, he feels that rabbit stew is the best he can do for the kids as a consolation.

Bugs speaks and acts more like his cartoon persona, pointing to Maltese as the story’s author.

The hunter opens the story with: “I've got you covered, so march, hare!!” Maltese titled his 1953 Bugs Bunny cartoon, where Bugs was drafted into the Army, “Forward March Hare”.

The gorilla has a one-word vocabulary of "Omsk!", a monster's cry from one of Maltese's later TV cartoons.

After Bugs makes short work of the gorilla, the Old Man of the Mountain says: “Never send a gorilla to do the work of an evil old man!” In the Maltese-written Bugs Bunny cartoon “Water, Water, Every Hare” (1950), Bugs makes short work of a mad scientist’s monster, leaving the villain to say: “Never send a monster to do the work of a mad scientist!”

Pages: 6

Notes: New story. The title, “The Girl from B.U.N.N.Y.” is a misnomer, as this is not a “secret agent” story a la “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.”, but a detective tale, and is more reflective of the tropes of TV private eyes. The acronym “B.U.N.N.Y.” is not used anywhere in the story beyond the title, and is most likely just a reflection of a then-prevalent fad.
