About the Martins[]

Curt and Punkinhead Martin live in the Ozarks, they have large rifles to protect themselves from enemies.

The Martin Brothers were feuding against the Coy Family. When Bugs Bunny was having a holiday there, he encountered them. They mistook him for a Coy. Luckily Bugs out-smarted them with these tricks: tying a knot in the rifle, switching the trigger to another spot, lighting up in a dynamite house, and funny square dancing.

They appear in many media The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries, a cameo in Space Jam, and a recurring role in New Looney Tunes starting with Season 3.
