HIgh Diving Hare 1949 (dir Friz Freleng)

High Diving hare is quite an interesting cartoon as it runs for a full seven minutes on one gag. That is Yosemite Sam running up a ladder and falling into a tank of water. It's as simple as that

basically Bugs is running a sideshow and his main act, a diver called fearless Freep, who Sam adores is sick. This leads Sam into some type of outrage and tries to force Bugs to jump off the diving board. This all backfires and it's Yosemite Sam who falls into the tank and it's the usual cliches which Bugs pulls off i.e. tricking Sam to cross over a line and sam falls off.

there is one shot which focuses entirely on the diving board ladder only and sam falling down and then climbing up the ladder and then falling down again. We don't see what happens above or below. I remembered reading Scott Mccloud's 'How to read Comics' and he says that the white trench between comic panels contain actions which the reader has to figure out. This falling scene is like that. Freleng shows you Sam falling but it's up to you to picture the methods.

other than that it's quite a weak cartoon, which doesnt really have a high humour level. Saying that though I personally think that the Yosemite Sam/Bugs pairings are way better than the Elmer Fudd ones, Sam's a more intelligent villain and exudes more character.
