Instead of Porky Pig and “That’s all, folks!”, the cartoon ends with one of Bugs’ rare closing appearances, popping through a drum, munching a carrot, announcing, “And that’s the end!”. Friz Freleng introduced and/or developed several of the studio’s biggest stars, including Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Tweety Bird, Sylvester the cat, Yosemite Sam (to whom he was said to bear more than a passing resemblance) and Speedy Gonzales.
