Disclose Notes: The island natives honor Bugs with the quote: “You Wild Hare of Pingo Pongo!”, a declaration containing two classic Warner Bros. cartoon titles - “A Wild Hare” (1940, the seminal Bugs Bunny/Elmer Fudd hunting encounter) and “The Isle of Pingo Pongo” (1938, one of several Warner travelogue spoof cartoons), both of which were directed by Tex Avery. The stranded Bugs also refers to himself as "Rabbitson Crusoe", the title of a 1956 Bugs Bunny cartoon directed by Friz Freleng, co-starring Yosemite Sam. Too many instances to be coincidental. Nice job by the (alas) anonymous writer.
