15.5 - What's Up, Doc?

ON Apr 30, 1938 Warner Bros.' "wascally wabbit" Bugs Bunny first appeared on screen in the theatrical short "Porky's Hare Hunt," directed by Ben "Bugs" Hardaway. Chuck Jones and Tex Avery further developed him into the character we know now—in such cartoons as "A Wild Hare" (1940), in which Bugs asks, "What's up, Doc?" for the first time and first kisses perennial foe Elmer Fudd. The rabbit's noisy carrot munching was based on Clark Gable's carrot chewing in the film It Happened One Night (1934).

Read a book with a word in the title or subtitle of at least 4 letters/characters that can be made using only the letters found in "What's up, Doc". The apostrophe may be used. You may use letters as often as they appear.
ex. cat's Cat's Eye
Required: State the word.

This seems a harder phrase than some we've had, but a few likely words include

past, post, shop, shut, such, stop, hats, coat, what, touch, south, watch, wash, coast, scout, chaos, Dutch. Also, proper names such as in The Family Chao would work.

Shadow is another one that works. I have a few of those on my TBR list.

I believe I’ve made a blunder, I’m very new to this and due to confusion mixed with fear of misunderstanding (which I think I’ve now done) I already have posted to the completed thread so now my heart is dropping thru my butt. So I used the letters from what’s up doc to make the word but I got confused and used the word autistic. I’m already fairly certain I’ve done it incorrectly as there is no I in the whats up doc phrase, I know I’m not allowed to delete my comment so do I just edit it and explain my mistake, am I correct in saying I got the word wrong? Sorry about this!

Hey, many of us have made a mistake, even old-timers in the challenge. Here's what I do...
1) click edit at the lower right side of your post. The post will open in a box.
2) Copy the entire post (this will save any of the coding included)
3) click cancel edit to close the box
4) start a new post by pasting what you copied into a blank post
5) below your readerboard name put something like:
**UNCLAIM!!** Stats adjusted below.
(It doesn't need the coding, just typing works. I just save this to use each time). Adjust your running total info. Then, save.

When you find another book or word that fits, just post as usual, again.

Hope that helps.

You don't even have to UNCLAIM it ... as it will NOT be counted since the word you used does not fit the phrase.

Also, please note that you can use letters only so often as they appear in the target phrase .. WHAT'S UP DOC ... has no repeat letters. So you could NOT use "data" because there is only one 'a' in the target phrase.
