Nice. It's like Bugs Bunny.

Maybe a VERY poor Man's Bugs Bunny, as the stories are poorly-crafted, and not very funny, and the artwork is not remotely as good as that of Western Publishing's Bugs Bunny artists of the 1940s and early 1950s.  These stories, drawn in 1952, appearing first in Farrell's "Billy Bunny's Christmas Frolics", are NOT even on a par with Phil De Lara's later '50s and '60s Bugs Bunny stories (and those being, in my estimation, the worst of Western's Bugs Bunny artwork). 

None of the other anthropomorphic ("Funny Animal") comic book rabbit characters (Harvey's Rags Rabbit, Nedor's "Happy Rabbit", Standard's "Buster Bunny", Creston/ACG's "Happy Hare", Walter Lantz's "Oswald Rabbit", Avon Periodical's "Peter Rabbit", Charlton's "Rabbitson Crusoe" (Zoo Comics), "Atomic Rabbit"/Bunny", DC's "Bo Bunny", Hillman's "Dumb Bunny", Morse/Key Comics' "Peter Cottontail", St. John's "Kid Karrots", Fox's "Buffalo Bunny", "Flash Rabbit", and "Karrots Rabbit", Dearfield's "Red Rabbit", Fawcett's "Hoppy, The Marvel Bunny", Timely's "Super Rabbit", Quality's "Buzzy Rabbit", EC's "Dandy Rabbit", Dell's "Crusader Rabbit", Disney's "Bre'r Rabbit", Animal Comics' "Uncle Wiggily", St. John's "Kid Carrots", "Novelty's "Dipsey Doodle/Dopsy Durvey Bunny", Spotlight's "Winkie Bunny", "Timothy Rabbit", Jing-Pals' "Johnny Rabbit", NONE of the other rabbit characters, other than perhaps Disney's Bre'r Rabbit, and Animal Comics' "Uncle Wiggily", had the popularity, and as well-written and well-drawn stories.
