Elmer Fudd Look and Personality "Bugs Bunny"

So I talked about how Elmer was changed a few times in his career but you do not know exactly how they look.  Well you will now.  First, cartoon historians believe that Elmer was transformed from this "Egghead" form (Top).  He looked pretty scary and mean.  Then in 1941 he was changed to be a fat to do depict his real life voice man (Bottom Left).  Elmer Fudd is a silly dude and can not pronounce his R's so he sounds even dumber than he looks.  He calls Rabbits "Wabbits" cause he is weird like that.  He has a child like personality and is extremely stupid.  So he cant ever out smart the witty Bugs and usually ends up hurting himself.  Arthur Q. Bryan was the voice of the Fuddster for almost two decades(Bottom Right).  After he died, Hal Smith took his place for Elmers voice.  He only talked in two cartoons.  Then in one cartoon, Elmer had no lines, no voice at all.  Then the character was retired, appearing in no cartoon for almost three decades!
