<P> Theatrical cartoon shorts of the 1940s and 1950s , particularly the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons released by Warner Bros. , are awash with Of Mice and Men parodies . The reference most often appears in the form of one character asking another , à la Lennie , `` Which way did he go , George ; which way did he go ? '' , such as the episodes Hiawatha 's Rabbit Hunt or Falling Hare . The other popular reference draws on Lennie 's love of soft furry animals and his underestimation of his strength . In The Abominable Snow Rabbit ( 1961 ) , the abominable snowman grabs Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck saying , `` I will name him George , and I will hug him , and pet him , and squeeze him '' with Mel Blanc doing an unmistakable imitation of Lon Chaney , Jr. 's Lennie . This material was re-used in Spaced Out Bunny ( 1980 ) , the last Warner Bros. cartoon in which Bugs Bunny was voiced by Mel Blanc . </P>
