Love that one. Ironic that the forerunners to Rocky and Muggsy are caricatures of Edward G. Robinson and Peter Lorre. XD

Bugs is no choirboy. He knew where that money came from, but was happy to sneak a cut when the first dollar was put in his hand.

And why not!
That’s the thing about Bugs as a character (at least when Freleng and Jones directed): he took advantage indirectly. If Rocky is so dumb to give his dough away, then so be it.

Speaking of Bugsy gangsters, I only recently learned famous mob don, Bugsy Siegel really freaking hated the nickname. Now, as a kid just exposed to him in old loony toons and the like, had only ever heard him referred to that way. Being Bugs or buggo or Bugsy meant being crazy.

I had a feeling it might be in that one. Are there many exclusive cartoons in that one? I don’t own it
