| Another anthropomorphic-funny Animals series, that I really like. The drawings are "flowing" and look like they come from a cartoon, really wonderful! And there are bears too !. :-) Obviously it took many years for the series to be completely here at CB+, so I'm actually glad, that I discovered CB+ so late. :-) Thanks again to the owners of the comics, the scanners, the uploaders and of course CB+.
I think the reason, I like these types of comics so much, is because they remind me of the cartoons and movies, I saw on TV as a kid. :-) |

| Eisenberg's association with Hanna-Barbera is made obvious by these Tom & Jerry-esque drawings! |

| You should take a look at Dearfield's Red Rabbit's sister series, Foxy Fagan, which had most of its features written, storyboarded, penciled and inked by Harvey Eisenberg. Both Foxy Fagan (Fox), and Pete(Cat) & Tweet (bird) are his showcase features in that series. Foxy looks a lot like his Tom Cat he drew at MGM. Same is true for Pete Cat. Tweet looks very much like WB's Tweety Bird, and Foxy's sidekick is a slow-moving hound dog, who is a clone of MGM's Droopy(Happy Hound). The artwork is great - up to WB, MGM, and Walter Lantz standards. Most of Red Rabbit's features were NOT drawn by Eisenberg. Little Buck (Native American boy) is a clone of Disney's Little Hiawatha, Hick & Slick are clones of Disney's Country and City Mouse, Pancakes is a little highly stereotyped African-American boy who was a clone of Walter Lantz's (Racist stereotype) Li'l Eightball, and Bugsy Bear and his 2 boy cubs were clones of Paul Terry's Terry Bears.
The aet is great, and very animated. It is higher quality than many of the other Funny Animals from The 1940s. |
