Owner's Description
Bugs Bunny (Four Color) #250 is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) on page 309. In the SOTI, Wertham makes a point of describing comic books that appear to be harmless or “good” when in actuality, from Wertham’s perspective; they feature a significant level of cruelty, violence or other undesirable features. With regards to Bugs Bunny (Four Color) #250, Wertham describes how this comic contains racial stereotypes and violence. Specifically, he describes the comic as follows “The same theme of race ridicule is played up in the good animal comic book Bugs Bunny. Colored people are described as ‘superstitious natives’ and you see them running away. The injury-to-the-eye motif is added, Bugs Bunny being shown throwing little diamonds into the eyes of colored people. They are ‘big enough to blind a feller!’ says Bunny. ‘Awk! I can’t see!’ says on victim. Is that not the same crime-comic book ingredient adapted to the younger set?”
For additional reference, I have included a scan of the page from Bugs Bunny #250 that contains the injury to the eye panel.
