The later version of Elmer Fudd, who is hunting rabbits

Elmer J. Fudd was the original enemy of Bugs Bunny. Like Wile E. Coyote, Fudd was almost always an antagonist in the Looney Tunes cartoons. Only in early cartoons was he generally a more passive character who was pestered by Bugs Bunny who at that time tended to be more hostile. However, Once the characters evolved somewhat he was usually portrayed as an eager, irascible hunter who is generally not very smart. Occasionally, however, he was given another role such as an actor or millionaire.

History

Elmer Fudd was introduced in the late 1930s, and was used for several decades. In the 1950s, usage of this character slacked off, largely because Arthur Q. Bryan, the voice of Fudd, died in 1959. A few attempts have been made to substitute his voice with another, but none have been entirely successful.[1]
