[Mark Jeffries]

Daddy Zaslav had already taken off of Max the bulk of 50s and (yes, way lesser) 60s titles from the Looney Tunes series of shorts, including most of the Road-Runner shorts, "What's Opera Doc?" and "Knighty Night Bugs," the short that made Bugs Bunny that Oscar-winning rabbit, and when an announcement came that they were taking off *all* theatrical Looney Tunes shorts as of Dec. 31 (which technically doesn't include all shorts released theatrically, since the so-called Censored Eleven and the Chuck Jones classic "The Dover Boys" have never been on Max), an animation community already angry over "Coyote vs. Acme" went into further disgust, although now WBD says that was an error and the shorts will continue to be on Max:

When asked for his opinions on Zaslav, Mr. Bunny said, "What a maroon!  What an embezzle!"
