This 'Scoundrels' t-shirt by Deep Fried Art is a mash-up of two beloved pairs of pop culture characters: Bugs Bunny and Gossamer from Looney Tunes and Han Solo and Chewbacca from Star Wars.
The t-shirt's graphics are a crossover Looney Tunes-Star Wars fan art design. They feature Bugs Bunny, the iconic Warner Bros. cartoon bunny who was originally voiced by Mel Blanc in 1940 and has since become an American cultural icon. He is dressed in Han Solo's habitual outfit of tunic, vest and gun holster. Alongside him is Gossamer, the giant, hairy, heart-shaped Looney Tunes monster. In the Looney Tunes cartoons, Gossamer is usually a vivid shade of orange. Here, however, he has been colored in brown and wears Chewbacca's signature bullet sash. The duo is all dressed up as Star Wars' famous duo, Han Solo and Chewbacca.
