This bit of creativity was actually inspired by a scene in The Incredible Hare:
The next thing Harold knew, he was following Burnside past several TV trailers and toward the stage, the carton on his shoulder. Harold glanced at the surrounding scene and relaxed a bit; there didn’t seem to be anything in sight that might trigger a metamorphosis. Forget it Harry, Harold thought, you’re not showing your face here today . . .
A few feet away, Nesbitt glanced at his watch. It was time. “Are the cameras rolling? Good. Okay—cue the sign!” Harold heard voices coming from atop the long-shuttered Endicott Building facing the park. Several people were on its roof, untying a huge rolled-up canvas that stretched across the entire length of the building. The workers released the ropes and the canvas unfurled itself.
Half the crowd went oooh. The other half applauded. Harold just stared.
The top floors of the building were now covered by an enormous, forehead-to-chin picture of the Incredible Hare. What was that about not showing my face? it seemed to ask.
The teen stared dumbstruck at the enormous smiling image of his alter-ego. No, he told himself I’m not going to lose control, I’m not going to—
“Now the ears,” Nesbitt was telling someone. There was a loud whoosh. A pair of gigantic rabbit ears began inflating from the building’s roof as if they were growing out of Harry’s head. The ears reached their full length and swayed slowly in the wind.
Harold’s jaw dropped open. “Hiccup . . . hiccup . . .”

UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE...
I just realized it was incredibly remiss of me not to mention where the rabbit came from: a 1976 MAD Magazine cover:

I just love the bunny's mischevious smile and his overall anthro appearance. He was drawn by Bob Jones who I understand was really good at this sort of thing - for one, he was the original artist of the Esso/Exxon tiger.

Back in the 'aughts the rights to remaking the movie "Harvey" were floating around Hollywood; everyone from Adam Sandler to Jim Carrey to Tom Hanks to Robert Downey Jr was being considered to play Elwood; at one point it looked like Steven Spielberg would direct.
My brother actually played Elwood in a community theater production of the play. I was so disappointed when he told me nobody video'd his performance...and the person who did the portrait of Elwood and Harvey...left out Harvey (Too bad they didn't have a furry artist around to paint it for them.)
BTW, it's not in the novel but Harry, like Harvey is a puca too (but once removed, a little hard to explain inside parentheses).

I'm in bunny haven where I am right now;
I remember a few years ago there was a pretty excellent ballet of 'Alice in Wonderland' that aired on PBS Great Performances. It opened with Lewis Carroll turning into the White Rabbit. I remember he turned around to put his camera equipment away - and there was the tail.
