Buff Bunny

The holiday art of rabbits and the page's muscle theme reminded me of a scene from a cartoon in my childhood - a rabbit dad and son, son being a science nerd, I think, and the dad super muscular, flexes and rips shirt. Early sixties - anyone remember it? Part of the Beany and Cecil show maybe?
