History
Elmer Fudd was introduced in the late 1930s, and was used for several decades. In the 1950s, usage of this character slacked off, largely because Arthur Q. Bryan, the voice of Fudd, died in 1959. A few attempts have been made to substitute his voice with another, but none have been entirely successful.[1]
