Hugo the Abominable Snowman Hugo the Abominable Snowman Hugo the Abominable Snowman is a character in the Looney Tunes franchise. Hugo is a large, rather naive, and easily fooled abominable snowman who really likes bunny rabbits. He likes to name his pets "George" and tried on two occasions to make Bugs Bunny his pet.

Hugo first appears in the episode "The Abominable Snow Rabbit" when Bugs and
Of Mice and Men George meets Lennie at the place, their camping spot before they came to the ranch. The two sit together and George retells the beloved story of the dream, knowing it is something they'll never share.
