History

When Bob Holt was tasked with creating a 4th of July e-card using only a firecracker. He started to design a green bunny character based on the one he created at home. Later on, he took the character and turned it into Hoops. Eventually, Hoops needed a companion, and this character would be redesigned into Yoyo.

Discovery

The discovery occurred when sillypotato345 messaged Bob Holt on Facebook to inquire about the creation of the green bunny character. Holt responded that he had drawn it around 2000-2001. Earlier, he had mentioned struggling to convert the SWF file to another format, but he eventually succeeded in converting it successfully.

On July 9, 2023, a user by the name of CloudyEggs uploaded the Flash file onto archive.org/.

Trivia

A comparison between the two.

• Green Bunny looks very different from Yoyo. Yoyo's fur is more saturated, his eyes appear larger and rounder and have visible scleras, his ears also appear a lot more longer and his nose is completely elliptical. Green Bunny's fur appears more lime, has a rectangular head, shorter ears, a wider smile, a smaller body, and a slightly lumpy nose. From the side profile, he also has a visible snout, which makes him appear more like a real rabbit.
