Rocky and Mugsy.

Rocky based on Edward G. Robinson and the other character based on Peter Lorre.  
Peter Lorre was also born into a Jewish family.  
I think he was a great character actor.  I loved watching him in movies when I was a little girl.
It is so hard to find those movies played on TV today - but they were on all the time when I was small.

Mugsy based on Peter Lorre is a bit of a stretch, I think.  Now the mad scientist in "Hair-Raising Rabbit"...

In the 50s and 60s adults would see those cartoons and recognise the charicatures of actors or other personalities.

It was the opposite for me. I grew up watching those cartoons and when I got older I started watching old movies.

I'd see Edward G Robinson and say..."That's the Frog!" or James Cagney and say."That's Jerry Mouse's tough cousin Max". :::D

HiWarp you are right!!!
That was one of my all time favorite Bugs cartoons.
I didn't remember it until I saw the picture.
Thanks.
