For anyone confused about what is going on, check out the wikipedia page on the Biblical figure Nimrod, especially the section on its idiom. Suffice it to say, making the Father of Hunters into a joke will not go unpunished.

My gosh! That's rather clever!

one or more arrows from an unseen source.

For some reason, I imagine these to be cartoon arrows signs instead of the actual arrows.

I love love love skips that are off-the-wall strange, yet have a strong undercurrent of logic to them, and this hits my sweet spot just right. I also love love love cartoons and the history of Western animation, so yeah. Downvoted with extreme prejudice.¹

1. He was, of course, completely serious.

Seeing as you’re one of this site’s masters of that style of skip, that means a lot coming from you!

Great job on the new J btw, some of the lines in there were scarily good.

At the same time, the statue of Bugs Bunny located outside Warner Brothers studios was near completely destroyed by approximately 4000 arrows that assailed it from all directions, including underground. A second group of 372 arrows proceeded to spell the words "That's whats up Doc." in front of the statue's remains.

Holy shit. What?

Either way, this was a fun ride. +1.

It looks bizarre, but its internal logic makes perfect sense, and it does it consisely, which makes a solid +1 from me.

Holy shit hahahaha

-1.This is a bit too twee for me; I don't think there's much here beyond a jokey extension of a single piece of Wikipedia trivia.

I hate, hate, HATE that I got the reference right away. Upvote from me.

Why did Nimrod wait nine years to start his vengeance? My guesses:

1) It took him that long to plan his vengeance.

2) He was imprisoned or otherwise incapacitated until sometime around 1949. Given the figure's Near Eastern origins, I'm wondering if the founding of Israel had something to do with this.

Upvoted, BTW. +1

EDIT: On second thought, maybe it took that long for "Nimrod" to catch on as an insult before it got revenge-inducingly annoying. Also, from a Doylian perspective, Leon Schlesinger was (probably) the first person associated with A Wild Hare to die, so this isn't a criticism.

Another nitpick: Mel Blanc wasn't the last person associated with A Wild Hare to die. Animators Virgil Ross and Charles McKimson, along with layout artist Bob Givens, died in 1996, 1999, and 2017, respectively.

I knew I should've taken a left at Site-19!

I have angrily commented to many friends on this little bit of etymology. A hearty upvote and feeling of vindication from myself to the biggest Nimrod of all!
