The Martin Brothers first appeared in the cartoon "Hillbilly Hare".
About the Martins[]
Curt and Punkinhead Martin live in the Ozarks, wielding large rifles to protect themselves from enemies. Curt has black hair, and wears a yellow shirt, blue overalls with a single strap, and a red hat. Punkinhead has orange hair (befitting his name), and wears a gray shirt, green overalls with a single strap, and a black hat.
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.
