Really in play: “Tex” Avery, or Frederick Bean Avery (1908 - 1980) was crucial in the creation of Bugs Bunny. He was an animator and he helped to evolve the Bugs Bunny character, and other Warner Brothers’ characters. Specifically, he steered the company away from Disney-like character personalities and more towards humor that would be enjoyable by both kids and adults.
Avery, nicknamed “Tex”, “Fred”, and “Texas”, was born and raised in Taylor, Texas, a small town in the vicinity of Austin. Avery graduated in 1926 from North Dallas High School. A popular catchphrase at his school was “What’s up, doc?”, which he would later utilize for Bugs Bunny in the 1940s.
That’s where he first heard it, “What’s up, doc?” – in Dallas, Texas.
Avery married his girlfriend, Patricia, in 1935.

In 1905, a grocery wholesaler from Columbus, Georgia, named Claude Hatcher, grew tired of the prices charged by Coca-Cola for their soft drink syrup. Hatcher then began to develop his own soft drinks, under the Royal Crown brand, including a cola drink which he named Chero-Cola; his company eventually became the Nehi Corporation.
In the 1930s, Chero-Cola was reformulated by Nehi chemist Rufus Kamm, and re-christened Royal Crown Cola (“RC Cola” for short). RC is still in production today, made by Keurig Dr Pepper in the U.S., and by Cott Corporation in other countries.

The Dust Bowl of the 1930s affected most of the decade. It began in 1931, ended in 1939, and over 200,000 people moved out of New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and other areas and into California. Farmers were out of work and were forced to live in makeshift settlements that were known as “Hoovervilles”.

But because there was no Quaker Meeting in Monterey, they were married in a civil ceremony performed by Father Ramon Mestres, a Roman Catholic priest of the Cathedral of San Carlos Borromeo
