The personality of Wall Disney has long overshadowed that of other cartoonists. Today, however, thanks in particular to television, to the "Midnight Cinema" as well as to "The Last Session", Tex Avery has conquered the general public. Bugs Bunny, the mischievous rabbit, Droopy, the placid dog who confesses in a monotonous voice "I'm happy", the crazy squirrel, always ready to invent the most diabolical traps to get rid of his adversaries, Spike, the fat vindictive dog, Chilly Willy, the little penguin and the erotomaniac wolf whose senses are unleashed at the sight of a luscious singer, have the same creator. From Warner Bros. à la Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Tex Avery has imagined an irrational - some would say surreal - universe in which wolves suddenly look like Adolf Hitler and where people enjoy pushing the limits of possibility and common sense. Shaking up taboos, willingly using puns and double-meaning sentences worthy of the Marx Brothers, Tex Avery gave a new dimension to Hollywood cartoons. There was to date no French work on this genius author whose influence on contemporary comics is obvious. So here is, for the joy of moviegoers and for all lovers of Droopy's "cartoons", a richly illustrated book, extremely documented and bringing together original drawings, published for the first time, a book about a crazy, crazy, crazy world: Tex Avery's!
