About

Not sure what's up, Doc? Then lend me a fuzzy ear or two! You've just landed in a quirky e-Card world where quality, whimsy and creativity RULE; where everyone's rabbit ears are perky, not droopy; a place where bunnies do what bunnies do, which is why Banjo Bunny's got some really cool tricks up his sleeve for you.*

You probably won't find what you're expecting, and that's the way this rabbit thinks it should be. This isn't like other e-card sites because we** fly by the seat of our cottontails around here. Other e-card sites might be free for the takin', but they certainly don't wraps it all up in a goofy orange bow quite the way we do. Why? Banjo Bunny just doesn't know any better. No one told him it's impossible to pull himself out of a hat, so he just went ahead and *ABRA KA DABRA* ... HE DID IT!

Banjo Bunny began as a funny little idea way way back in 1998 when Rabbit-In-Charge, Susan J. Preston (that's me) posted my first Interactive Flash-based Advent Calendar, which has become an annual event for 13 years and running***, winning numerous Cool Site of the Day Awards. Viewers kept emailing to ask if they could send my animations to their friends. At first I thought it was an impossible task, after all databases are expensive, who was I to take on such a task? But strange things happen every day in this world ~ the universe conspired, the rabbit whiskers aligned, one thing happened after the other and the rest is banjo e-card history - by the way, we LIKE history around here. As a matter of fact, a lot of our funny e-cards are based off of antique postcards. (Banjo Bunny has a growing collection of vintage photographs & ephemera!)

Jumpin' Jehosephat! Where did the idea of a banjo-playin' bunny come from? He just sort of hopped into my imagination one evening in the middle of a brainstorm. Banjos are humble, happy and unpretentious. Banjos don't put on airs - what you see is what you get around here! Pair a banjo with a bunny and you get an animated, magical trickster daemon who only wants to amuse and inspire you. (The alliteration ain't bad either.)

Banjo Bunny launched in BETA BUNNY format December 2005 with only four fun e-cards, but now Susan... err.... "Banjo Bunny" has stocked the Rabbit Hutch with 190+ e-cards to choose from - a number which, like bunnies, continues to multiply! There are Valentine's e-cards, Birthday e-cards, Christmas, Halloween and Friendship e-cards. There are even naughty and nice e-cards. I have a mission statement, but like to think of it as THE BIG BUNNY IDEA: to bring good old-fashioned whimsy, creativity and happiness into the hearts of senders and recipients alike. Banjo Bunny hopes to reduce the amount of droopy-eared depression in the world ~ one goofy, elegant, whimsical and funny e-card at a time. It's a tall order, but Somebunny's gotta do it!

So, what are you waiting' for? Hop on in! Become a Banjo Bunny E-card Member now, and start sending some of the most magical, inventive e-cards in the universe today!
