HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUGS BUNNY - 79 yrs old today... I created this promo card in 2013 for Philadelphia Wizard World Comic Con to benefit the Chuck Jones Institute. Due to a licensing problem, most of these cards were not distributed at the show... Making it extremely rare. Last I saw, this single card was going for over $200 on eBay at one point.

Today, July 27 is the day that we lost one of our beloved comedians, Bob Hope. He was a dear friend of mine when I lived in California... I even appeared on 2 of his tv specials. Bob and his wife Delores were beautiful people who loved entertaining, loved children, and were respectful professionals. God bless you, my friend.
