ABOUT THE IMAGE: No one likes a shotgun wedding, particularly when they find they’re marrying neither a bride nor groom, but a rabbit. Taken from the 1953 classic, “Hare Trimmed,” Yosemite Sam has found this out at the absolute wrong time as he walks the isle with his…um…cottontail bride…yes cottontail. 

The drawing for this edition was taken from the original animation. The inking was silk-screened onto acetate, and then hand-painted. The background was reproduced using the Giclée print method.
