Carbon Costume

Sylvester J. Pussycat, Sr. (originally voiced by Mel Blanc) is one of the Looney Tunes.  A black and white cat, Sylvester has a lisp and uses the catchphrase, “Sufferin’ succotash,” often during his skirmishes with Tweety Bird.  To recreate Sylvester’s look, you have a few choices.  Replica costumes do exist which include a full-head mask designed to closely resemble the cartoon character.  Pair this with white animal paw gloves and slippers to complete the look.  Alternately, if full-face masks aren’t your thing, you could use a black and white onesie with the same gloves and slippers, and simply add a black and white cat tail and ears to your costume.  As long as you take the time to memorize Sylvester’s signature phrase, there will be no doubt which cat you’re trying to emulate.

Elmer Fudd is an accident-prone hunter from the original Looney Tunes show.  He is an enemy of Bugs Bunny, determined to track down the rascally rodent during rabbit season, but ultimately, Bugs outsmarts him every time.  Elmer’s outfit has had some tweaks over the years, but his overall aesthetic remains the same:  a brown hunting outfit including a hat with red detailing, brown shoes, and a rifle perfect for taking down pesky rabbits.  To recreate his look, you can use some red fabric paint on the inside of your hat’s earflaps.
