Valentine’s Day, and the Insulting Kiss…
A Happy Valentine’s Day to all of my readers! Valentine’s Day holds a variety of bittersweet memories for me, and perhaps some of you can relate…
There were those cheesy, pun-laden Valentines I used to exchange with other kids in elementary school…and just look at this guy’s face! Cool and creepy at the same time. The flower in the mouth is a nice touch, adding to the “come hither” look… 💕
…and there were those many years when Valentine’s Day was a torment, leaving me yearning for a vixen when I didn’t have one. They sure didn’t go for the smart, nerdy types. Forever alone… *sighs*. 😩
But let us remember that not all kisses are romantic ones, as Bugs Bunny illustrates in a number of his classic ‘toons. After thoroughly humiliating and mocking an enemy such as Elmer Fudd, he often bestows a big, smoochy kiss on him, the insulting kiss, right before sprinting away…
The insulting kiss is an art form and a sublime expression, perhaps rendered to confuse as well as mock an adversary, leaving him befuddled so as to permit ample time for escape while also conveying the message that “you’re not a serious threat…you’re not even worth my time, and I grow weary of you!”
Wouldn’t you like to see an insulting kiss planted on the face of a certain Republican presidential candidate? And a Happy Valentine’s Day, one and all!

My favorite insult kiss was Bugs Bunny–cross-dressed as Daisy Lou–in “Hare Splitter.” In that one, he gave a muscle-bound masher named Cosmo a full-on lip lock. With a lip-stick coated plunger!

Followed shortly afterward by a posterial arrow wound while disguised as “Daniel Cupid.”

Oops! Just saw “Hare Splitter” on Youtube. The muscle-bound masher was called “Casbah!” As in, the place Pepe LePew was alway telling his latest feline love interest to come with him to.
