Elmer's Candid Camera (1940)

[first lines]
Elmer Fudd: [reading a book called "How to Photograph Wildlife"] "Then all you do is click the shutter, and presto! You have a fine picture of wildlife, suitable for framing." Golly, that sounds simple enough.

Rabbit: What are you doing, taking pictures?
[Elmer nods his head]
Rabbit: Nice hobby. Mind if I watch?
[Elmer shakes his head]
Rabbit: What are you taking pictures of?
Elmer Fudd: That wabbit.
Rabbit: [Looks over Elmer's shoulder] What rabbit?
Elmer Fudd: Why, that little gray wabbit over... over... over there.
[Realizing the rabbit is right in front of him, Elmer grabs the rabbit up to his face]
Rabbit: Please, sir! Gosh, I don't even know the guy!

Elmer Fudd evolved from Egghead, a character created by Tex Avery in the mid-'30s. In this cartoon, Elmer still wears the same attire (derby hat, high collar, green coat) as Egghead, and sports a large, bulbous nose, which was one of Egghead's distinguishing traits.
