I'm sure that I'm getting a lot of smirks for this one. For those of you who are already acquainted with the hare, then I might say that the smirks and giggles are probably for the cute cruelty of Happy Bunny itself. But for those who are not, I might be getting theirs with a naughty smiles painted across their faces. Well, what can I say? The Bunny is Happy..must be that she's getting some ;-)
Bad puns and green-natured jokes aside, I have encountered this character about 3 years ago. I was so totally drawn to the white bunny with a wide smile and an innocent aura plastered in a cheery yellow backdraft with a printed slogan at its feet, " I hate you so bad.". At that time, I was really hating somebody so bad but I have to stick it in and bite myself just to show my teeth for a smile.
From then on, I have been a fan. I have learned that Happy Bunny is a cartoon character made by Jim Benton for novelty items. It is widely sold across North America and became a cult product. It even had a few awards garnered in its sleeves. I have several undies and boxers with Happy Bunny prints. All of it have some lines that are really cute like, " Nobody's perfect, I'm as close as it gets.", "I'll be nicer when you're smarter.", or " Hey, you made me throw up a little!". I always find my eyes squinting as I can cruelly relate to the Bunny's ironical and satirical comments. This Happy Bunny is so me. All smiles, which can even reach my eyes, totally thinking of something in satire.
Don't get me wrong. I am nice. Really, I am. But I bet that even the holiest of saints did have their moments when they just want to roll their eyes because they cant believe the stupidity of the guy across the conversation line. I mean hey, one could only take so much.
So, in a stint not totally different from that of the Hulk's, I often find myself in my Happy Bunny form. Wide smiles with cruel intentions. Somewhat like the Grinch in a Santa costume...or Winnie the Pooh gone ape shit. My little smiling eyes...with my big-wide-totally-amused-grin...and my thoughts in full print: " I am bad and you love it!".
