Court Jester

Story  on  Interior Page(s)
Subject Matter
Genres: anthropomorphic
Character(s): Bugs Bunny; Uncle Buckskin; King Kimo; various subjects of King Kimo; Baron Rotzi; Baron Rotzi's henchman
First Line: Of all our travels, Uncle Buck, this has to be the gloomiest country ever!
Synopsis: Touring an unnamed small kingdom, Bugs and Uncle Buckskin notice how gloomy the subjects are. The Bunny introduces a temporary bout of laughter in the form of a epic pie fight, with even good King Kimo enthusiastically getting into the act. On the receiving end of most of the pies is the disliked (and aptly named) Baron Rotzi, who is secretly responsible for the general gloominess that has beset the land by luring all the fish (the lifeblood of the people) away from the kingdom. The suspicious rabbits uncover Rotzi's plot, bringing prosperity and laughter to the kingdom once again.

First Line: Gee! I never would have dweamed that I needed a business manager, but you made me see the light, Bugs!

Disclose Notes: This story, referring to the "Bates Hotel" (not "Bates Motel"), was originally published in 1958, two years before the release of Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" (1960). Perhaps the author read the novel upon which the film was based.
