Happy Birthday, Bugs

Happy Birthday, Bugs is a book written by Gary A. Lewis and illustrated by The Guy Gilchrist Studios, released as part of the Looney Tunes Library label. It was released on September 1st, 1990.

The plot involves various Looney Tunes characters planning a surprise party for Bugs Bunny on his birthday, while Bugs is out carrot shopping. Bugs' various adversaries reminience about their memories with Bugs, thinking of him as their friend, but eventually they all realise that Bugs hadn't been a very good friend to any of them. So they plan a trick on Bugs. Bugs shows up immediately after their trick was set, and just as Bugs is about to unwrap a present, Daffy Duck barges in and takes Bugs' present. Despite the others telling Daffy not to, Daffy opens the package, and a pie shoots out in his face.
