![]() ![]() I was recruited to design the girlfriend of yet another classic character. My second gig was Another Goofy Movie, or as it was later named, An Extremely Goofy Movie. ![]() Despite everything, I put my all and my own characters into the girl sports bunny and I think she turned out well considering the obstacles and confines of the film. I hated the “my hero” sequence where she kisses Bugs-all girls know how guys will try to commit acts of kindness until they are rewarded with sex and I didn’t want MY character to be brought around that way.

As the script evolved further and further into seemingly countless revisions, Lola’s part was whittled down to a sports bunny with no background who walks into the gym.

I’ve always drawn Bugs in drag and Honey Bunny as a child, so I was thrilled to combine my comic characters Nami and Klashka and help define Lola Bunni for Warner Bros.

However, I also love film, especially short form and music videos. I watch films for the characters and study costumes and sets during exhibition scenes. ![]()
