Looney Tunes, we admit, have always been a favorite of Art Attack. So when we heard the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection, Volume One was coming out on Blu-ray, we were thrilled. When we heard that the Houston Press would be handing out copies as prizes, we were super-thrilled. Then we were reminded that employees were not eligible for giveaways…oh well, whatever, you lucky readers are eligible.
Of course, we’re not going to make this easy. We are talking about the three-disc Platinum Collection here, with 50 cartoons and shorts featuring all the Looney Tunes characters, from Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig to the Tasmanian Devil and Marvin the Martian. There’s also an homage to animator Chuck Jones, with more than five hours of documentaries, rare shorts and lots of other extras.
So here’s the deal: We jumbled up the names of several Looney Tunes characters (see below). You un-jumble them, and shoot us an e-mail with the right names in the right order (send it to artsblog@houstonpress.com, please). Next Wednesday afternoon, we’ll pick three winners randomly from all the correct entries and mail out the prizes.
Good luck!
Here are the jumbled character names:
1. A Time Sin Vandal
2. To Ice Eye Owl
3. We Peel Pep
4. Tin Martha Vermin
5. Snub by Gun
6. Ok Rip Gyp
7. A Deer North Run
8. A Spy Zone Sledge
9. A Arm Vent in Mirth
and an extra name you’ll have to re-read the blog above to guess,
10. Conch Jukes
