USA: Bugs Bunny

On 9th October I got two postcards: one from the USA and one from Croatia. 

The card from the USA shows Bugs Bunny. Created in the 1930s Bugs Bunny is today one of the most famous cartoon characters in the World. 

This card is the official prepaid card for the Bugs Bunny stamp from 1997. Two of the recent Bugs Bunny stamps, issued for his 80th anniversary, were used to reach the value to send a card to Germany. There are different opinions about this set. Personally I like them, but I do not think that a cartoon rabbit's 80th anniversary should be celebrated while on the other side ignoring the 75th anniversary of the End of World War II. Well at least one of the stamps shows Bugs Bunny during the war. The other stamp on this card was celebrated as first depiction of drag culture on a US stamp. 

Thank You very much Eric!

So happy to receive these stamps on a matching card. The mint sheet I added to my collection of childhood heroes on stamps already a while ago.
