Regardless of what season we think it should be, in the cartoon, it clearly _has_ to be Wabbit Season. There is copious amounts of snow on the ground. The ducks would have all flown south a month or two ago, so it must be wabbit season.

I hate to inject any reality in here or anything, but the ducks have been here all winter. In fact I thought they were Jesus ducks 'cuz I walked by the pond and they were walking on top of it. Took me a second to realize the pond was frozen.

No I didn’t eat any of them.

Whereas I haven’t seen any Wabbits. Don’t they wait to come out at Easter?

As a character, I like Daffy more, but he is very much an instigator in the vast majority of the problems he finds himself in. For what it’s worth, Bugs Bunny never showed up on Babylon 5.
