As these articles went, this one gave me next to nothing to go on for illustrating. I think there was nothing more than the author's uncle liking to raise rabbits. To deal with it I fell back on an old gag about how fast bunnies multiply. No matter how many escape the box, it's always full!

Reminds me of "Do You Wanna Buy A Bunny?" by Spike Jones... (WARNING: Long post of lyrics!)
My 'rithmatic is getting bad. I dunno what to do!
I bought a little bunny, then I bought another bunny.
Don't one and one make two?
Now, when I'm lookin' at the bunnies,
I get as mad as mad as I can be!
'Cause now, there are so many bunnies.
Oh me, oh my! Ya wanna buy a bunny?
When I'm eatin' bread and honey,
Those silly little bunnies pester me.
'Cause all the bunnies beg for honey.
Oh gee, oh gosh! Ya wanna buy a bunny?
When we're playin' hide and seek
At my heels they sneak sneak sneak.
When I hide they peek peek peek.
I get so mad I could shriek. EEK!
If you want a fuzzy bunny,
that's got a wiggly nose and cotton tail.
I wish you would buy a bunny,
'Cause I got lots of bunnes for sale!
And when I get up early in the morning, to go out to the chickenhouse to feed my little tiny baby chickens, aww those crazy little bunnies, they follow on after me just hop-hop-hop-hop-hop-hop, hoppin' like the dickens! Here chicky-chicky-chicky-chicky! Get away from me, bunny, ya badda me. Get out of here, you crazy little bunnies!
And when I sneak my little tiny puppydog, Rover, upstairs with me to bed, the bed is full of them silly little bunnies, from the bottom to the head! Get out of my bed, you bad little bunnies! Go on, bunnies! Get out of here! Go on now!
Bunnies bunnies bunnies bunnies, everywhere.
There's bunnies on the table, and there's bunnies on the chair,
Bunnies on the sofa, and there's bunnies on the floor,
And there's some new ones coming through the door. More!?
Please c'mon and buy a bunny!
I'd even like to sell ya two or three!
But if you don't have any money,
I'll give you a bunny!
Cause there's just too darned many bunnies for me! There's bunnies all over the place, bunnies under my feet, bunnies in my bed, every place I go there's little bunnies...

Love Spike Jones when he's at his best. I have to admit that I haven't heard this one. I have a vynal collection, but the real prize among my records is a couple of 78 rmp disks with "The Furher's Face" on one and "My Old Flame" on the other. Not that I can play either of them... but both songs are on the 33 rpm collection too.
*Sigh* There's another drawing I did once, of TOO MANY bunnies. I was in the middle of it when my mother died, and I finished it off on a bit of a sad note, with one unhappy bunny out of the way in a corner that was me. Should scan that someday.

This one was on a vinyl, but when I was little, my parents helped me transfer it and several others over onto a few cassette tapes.
After a few moves, it turned out that the cassette tape with this song was in my stuff, and I managed to find it in my boxes. Thus, I was able to rig up patch cables and start ripping it to MP3 on the computer. ^_^

I recall reading a humourous blurb in an old copy of Reader's Digest that had a wry twist on the rapid reproductive rate of rabbits. It read, "In the window of an import car dealership downtown, a poster proclaimed '1970 Rabbits Here!' Someone had neatly written underneath the words, '11820 next week."
