CAPTION: The Easter Bunny is tired of sounding like an uncouth cottontail...and a boorish backwoods dumb bunny!
(Cruel people have even called him “hare-brained!”)
So he’s taking elocution lessons from that paragon of precise pronunciation: Eliza Do Little!
SCENE: The Easter Bunny is talking to a woman sitting at a desk.
EASTER BUNNY (singing): Randy rabbits rapidly race to rescue...rascal raccoons in Rio...from ransacking roadrunner robbers!
WOMAN: Good! Now sing it three times...backwards...while hopping...with your basket full of eggs!
1955 Art (of woman): Ken Rice Re-ink & Color: Diego Jourdan Pereira
Eggcelent Writers: Mike Pascale & John Lustig

Bun Bun doesn’t seem to realize that Eliza is just screwin’ with him.
Bun Bun has some alliteration of his own once he catches on.

And with the theme of alliteration here’s something I stumbled upon today.
