Drunkard's Walk Forums

..well, okay, sort of. I remember the cartoon but I don't remember the name of it, curse my quirky memory.
Anyway...
The 'toon in question had Bugs wind up in Paris (via getting packed into a shipment of carrots from the States) and becoming the target of two rival French chefs. The usual antics enuse of course, until Bugs persuades Chef A (no, I don't remember the names) to let him demonstrate a secret bayou recipe for roast rabbit - using the chef as the rabbit.
Near the end of the sequence Chef B rushes in, mistakes Bugs for Chef A and tries to make off with the covered roastpan with the chef in it. Chef B lifts the lid, and we get our line:
Chef B: !
Chef A: You were expecting maybe Humphrey Bogart?
Explanations, demands and a pretty funny ending follow. I'm *pretty* sure this is a McKimson cartoon, maybe mid-50s, but don't quote me on that.

Oh my god. That's it. That's exactly it. Now I just have to identify that particular cartoon...
"Mississippi back bay bayou bunny bordelaise, a la Antoine."
"Not Antoine of New Orleans?"
"I don't mean Antoine of Flatbush!"
"Already I am ze (hiccup) pickled!"
Mr. Fnord, thank you so much!

A little research reveals that the cartoon in question is probably "French Rarebit", from 1951. Thanks again! (Now I'm off to update the concordance once more!)

All part of the service. My mind is like a steel.. um.. a steel... one of those things you set out in the woods to grab animals with?

Bugger. The answer to your question is "Post-It", Fnord.
Blessed be.

I can nuke that bungled post, if you want, Nathan.
