Ice cream is being stolen from mansions all around Northeast Southweston

Can the two cases possibly be related?
Do they do their introduction? Yes
Does Doc charm the
girl? Yes,
after she tests the thundering hoofbeats and it works!
Does Bugs go
bananas? Yes
Does P.T. use
Seymour? Yes
Does Doomsday
eat (or plan to eat) something weird?
Doomsday
is preparing a roast beef at the start of the episode
Is there a
Klinsinger Report?
Yes
Do they go to
the Krelvin Building?
No,
but it is mentioned
Notes:
The version of Fun in the Jungle in this episode includes an
introduction which isn't on the album version.
This is the only episode in which Doomsday’s ability to talk to
animals is brought into play, although since King Cone isn’t
technically a real gorilla but a man who thinks he’s a gorilla, does
it really count?
This episode includes the only time Bugs acknowledges that he’s aware
"that word" has an adverse effect on him.
