I still love the one with the opera singer.
They reprinted a bunch of EC war comics from the 1950s.
One issue was a special about the Civil War. One story was a biography of Lincoln; another explained the North’s strategy; another was about how Stonewall Jackson died.
A comic book for 10 year olds in the 1950s had more solid information that most High School classes today.
For me it was this
True culture. I’m actually pretty sure the chords were correctly animated
I started listening to classical music after playing Trombone Champ
the Hey Arnold! episode where they go see the opera Carmen lives rent free in my head.
A Chuck Jones classic.
Look at my horse!
My horse is amazing!
This accursed fucker
Fiiiigaro!
Ahhh Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries, aka Kill the Wabbit.
Lots of Tannhauser in that one too. “Weeeetuuun, my wuv…”
SMOOGGGGGG
I recognize an alarming amount of classical music from watching Bugs Bunny
They were called Merrie Melodies because that was their original purpose.
Also plenty of early 20th from Ren and Stimpy.
I’m a little surprised this reference still lands.
I just brought my 8 year old son to see Coyote vs Acme, and he fucking loved it. We watched Roadrunner cartoons to lead up to it and he almost died laughing. This was the first he’d ever heard of Looney Tunes

I had the opportunity to check out the bugs bunny symphony experience this past April and what a wonderful experience!
Florida Orchestra killed it.
I’ve grown up loving most of those classical tracks. rhapsody rabbit with Franz liszt’s Hungarian rhapsody no.2 is great. (no 3 is also worth checking out… maybe even 6 too.)
i understand that in rabbit of Seville, that piece was actually written for that show. so phenomenal works were being done for those animation pieces - labors of love.
but those works transcended time.
I wanted to learn to play HR#2 after watching Bugs do it for years. Little did I know that Liszt had giant hands and twelve fingers.
About once a month this goes through my head:
Yeeesss you’re next
Yooouu’re so next
That’s The Rabbit of Seville, isn’t it?
Yoooouuu’re correct.
Sooooo correct.
