Coyote, the<br \/>\nTasmanian Devil, Road Runner and Lola Bunny (the newest of the characters, who<br \/>\nwas introduced in the 1996 Michael Jordan movie &quot;Space Jam&quot;).<\/p>\n<p>For &quot;Loonatics,&quot; the six characters are being projected 700 years into<br \/>\nthe future, given superpowers, and outfitted in tight-fitting, slenderizing space<br \/>\ngear.<\/p>\n<p><em>Is nothing sacred? We thought Bugs Bunny was a timeless icon of American<br \/>\n        insouciance. Having him shoot hoops with Michael Jordan was marginally<br \/>\n        acceptable, as Michael was sort of a cartoon character himself, but this<br \/>\n        is blasphemy. For example, everyone knows cartoon characters have three<br \/>\n        fingers, as opposed to human (let me count) um, five. What are those<br \/>\n        curvy yellow claws supposed to suggest? They look like the razors strapped<br \/>\n        to roosters claws in a cock fight! Honestly, we pity the kids growing<br \/>\n        up today. It&#8217;s a cruel and violent, rapine world in which the Loony Tuners<br \/>\n        have to slash and smash to survive.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nypost.com\/commentary\/22021.htm\">the<br \/>\n          New York Post<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Looney Tunes characters &#8211; six in all &#8211; have been &quot;reimagined&quot; (in studio parlance) for a new series called &quot;Loonatics,&quot; which is set to air next fall on WPIX\/Channel 11 as part of the Saturday morning Kids&#8217; WB program &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/2005\/02\/17\/is-nothing-sacred-2\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":299,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[628],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-comics"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/299"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
