Bob Clampett needed a backup feature for Beany & Cecil after it was spun off from Matty's Funnies. The end result was Harecules Hare, a rabbit with genius level intelligence.
Only 2 episodes currently are circulating on YouTube, though there might be more. Harecules and his father, Ben, are two completely diverse personalities. Ben is interested in greyhound racing, for example. In "Harecules Hare & The Golden Fleecing", Harecules deals with a wolf.........
Clampett had the right inspiration for some of his gags, as he borrowed from his former employers at WB, using a gag from a Bugs Bunny short with Wile E. Coyote.
Rating: B.
