Animator, gag writer, storyboard artist and director Ben Hardaway is fondly remembered for his important contributions to Warner Brothers cartoons and as co-creator working on Andy Panda and Woody Woodpecker cartoons.
After an unknown animator completed the model sheet for the rabbit character to be used in Hare-um Scare-um , he handed it in to be given to Mr. Hardaway with "Bugs Bunny" written on it. Thus did the famous cartoon rabbit get his name.
