Item Description
As cartoon characters go, Bugs Bunny was an early favorite of mine. And as cartoonist/animators go, the great Jack Bradbury is my ABSOLUTE favorite. He was an idol, an inspiration . . and a FRIEND to me for years! Jack is sadly gone now, but when this Bugs Bunny stamp was issued, I knew I had to celebrate his connection to the character!Jack was an animator at the Warner Bros. Studio and worked on a half dozen Bugs Bunny cartoons between 1943 and 1945. This cachet consists of a meticulously handpainted CEL of the same type used in the production of animated cartoons, and is placed against a background depicting Jack's cluttered room at Warner Bros. The setup shows Jack at his animation desk, dressed as Bugs (for reference) and drawing with a carrot for authenticity!
This particular cover is the result of a 125-mile trip I took on the first day of issue for a UO cancel from the tiny central California town of Wasco. Why Wasco?? - In appreciation of Elmer Fudd's well known epithet for Bugs: "That WASCOwy Wabbit!!". The postmistress told me I was the only one who had visited Wasco that day with the new stamp -- and eyed me a bit suspiciously.
It was autographed by Jack Bradbury himself, who was 83 years old at the time!
The cover comes mounted in an illustrated folder and includes an informative stuffer with a picture of Jack and me.
A special cover for a very special and influential man in my life!
