It's the Chinese New Year and the Year of the Rabbit is giving way to the Year of the Dragon. To help celebrate, Bugs Bunny has handed over the coveted Singing Sword* to a certain coyote girl—a transfer that has ignited the passion of the dragon entrusted with guarding the artifact. With Bugs holding the reins and an avid Lola Bunny along for the ride, the Sword sings a merry melody as the dragon gives hot pursuit. This action shot captures the moment for posterity. Happy Lunar New Year, everyone!!
*This scene is inspired by the cartoon "Knighty Knight Bugs" (WB, 1958) in which Bugs Bunny retrieves the priceless sword from the thieving Yosemite Sam and his trusty, though occasionally inept, dragon. The background, and most of the dragon, were acquired from a wonderful cel drawing by the cartoon's director Isidore "Friz" Freleng. His cartoon would win the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, making it the only Bugs Bunny cartoon to win an Oscar. Bugs Bunny, Lola Bunny and the dragon are property of Warner Bros. and their minions. Dottie Coyote is me.

Glad you like it, Moony! I've been wanting to have a dragon give Dottie hotbuns for a long time, but could never figure out how to put a dragon in the desert. Now at last I have a pic of a dragon doing what dragons do best. So thank you for faving, and Dottie thanks you, too, even though it's her butt that's getting burnt. She knows everyone is having fun. ^•^
Hey, thanks so much, keej!! It's been a rocky couple of miles, but I'm starting to get the train back on the rails.
Thanks for liking the idea. The Lunar Zodiac helped… Rabbits -> Dragons seemed like a logical leap. And, of course, there had to be a Coyote on the receiving end. ^•^
