Answer 1

George Clarence "Bugs" Moran (August 21, 1891 – February 25, 1957) was a Chicago Prohibition-era gangster. Born in St. Paul, Minnesota in August 1891, Moran moved to the north side of Chicago when he was nineteen. Growing up, he ran with several gangs and was imprisoned twice before turning 21. His nickname "Bugs" came from those who thought he was nuts or "buggy." His nickname had nothing to do with his eyes.... check out his photos on the website.

September 17, 1910- arrested as George Miller for burglary. Paroled from Joliet June 18, 1912.
October 30, 1913- arrested for burglary and larceny.
December 19, 1917- two counts of robbery. Forfeited bonds.
May 25, 1918- charged with one count of robbery, charge stricken from the record.
November 25, 1921- exact charge not specified.
October 21, 1930- charged with vagrancy and two counts of running a con game.
October 28, 1938- charged with forgery and conspiracy to defraud.
November 27, 1939- charged with forgery
January 30, 1943- robbery and forgery
July 5, 1946- armed robbery
July 13, 1946- robbery

Despite the fame that George Moran attained as Al Capone's arch enemy and gangland's ultimate survivor, the man himself has been somewhat of a mystery until now. Books exploring and explaining the turbulent period that Chicago's underworld experienced during the Twenties report Moran's pre-Prohibition activities only to the extent of quoting his criminal record. His Minnesota childhood, his persistent sinning during the 1910s, his two marriages and fatherhood are skimmed over and his years as an independent outlaw (late Thirties to mid-Forties) appear as mere mentions in an epilogue.

In the process of telling his story, some of this century's most fascinating and bewildering gangland figures are revisited: Al Capone, Johnny Torrio, Dean O'Banion, Vincent Drucci, Earl 'Hymie Weiss', Chicago's bellowing showboat mayor "Big Bill Thompson", the gang-hating yet oddly pro-Moran Judge John H. Lyle, and Virgil Summers and Albert Fouts, two of Ohio's most colorful and brazen robbers.

Answer 4

A person who is ‘bugs’ is one who is insane; it is implied that ‘Bugs’ Bunny is an escapee from the loony bin (notice the connection to ‘loony tunes’?). Hence, it is not surprising that such an insane indivudual addresses everybody as ‘Doc’, since for years he was surrounded by mental health professionals trying to treat or cure him and he does not distinguish, assuming that everybody who talks to him is a doctor. The ‘What’s up’ business also relates, though it is harder to see the indirect connection. A caring, sensitive therapist might try to engage a person, to determine whether he was depressed (‘down’) or in a good mood (‘up’). By refusing to engage in normal social interaction, rejecting all categories, such a person might well question whether there was a difference between ‘up’ and ‘down’, as Doctor Manhattan pointed out, that “ ’Up’ is a relative term. It has no intrinsic meaning.” So, Bugs is trying to turn the tables on his tormentors, as he sees them, the therapists. He wants to reverse the roles of the patients and the staff, to subject them to the same kind of stress he himself cannot face (that which drove him from sanity in the first place) and drive the staff (everybody else) insane. This is a common theme in comics, which can also be seen in The Killing Joke, where the Joker tries to drive Commissioner Gordon insane. The common thread in these situations is that the staff who are familiar with the patient’s problems are those who have remained sane by standing against the stress, which the patient gave in to. The patient is not able to drive them insane. Unfortunately for Elmer Fudd and others, who do not realize that Bugs is insane (which was more evident in his early appearances), they take Bugs at face value, as though his madness held something of reality and get into trouble. If Elmer were informed that Bugs in insane, he would then be able to put aside his resentment of one who is not worth resenting and simply ignore him. 4 MAR 07, 1933 hrs, GMT.

Scar face had a scar on His face. Guess what George 'Bugs' Moran had? Big eyes (and His name was not 'Moran, that was an alias. His first conviction was under the the name 'George Miller').
