"You Dirty Devil!"

Publisher: 

• The Tasmanian Devil, or “Taz,” is one of the most popular characters in the Looney Toons stable since his 1954 appearance in “Devil May Hare.”
   
• Taz’s typical pairing was with Bugs Bunny, though he did pair off with Daffy Duck in 1957’s “Ducking The Devil.”
   
• Created by Robert McKimson, the artist and director was fairly correct with his depiction of Taz. Like the real Tasmanian devil, McKimson’s is stout, with a broad head and foul temper. The real devil, however, is nocturnal, a marsupial and does not move in a tornado fashion. 
   
• Typically shy, the real Tasmanian devil is apt to aggression only when about to feed, which is not just another McKimson accuracy, but an ongoing occurrence to Bugs Bunny.
   
• Despite Taz’s popularity, he has appeared in only six Looney Tunes cartoons, though he had his own series in the late 90s, called “TAZmania.” 
   
• This edition features multiple images of Taz in motion, created by classic animation hand-painted and dry-brush techniques.
