Appearances[]

Silas Wonder appears in "Sawdust and Toonsil". He is the greedy owner and ringmaster of the traveling circus, Silas Wonder's Wonderful Circus of Wonderment. He has been going to Wackyland and enslaving it citizens into being sideshow attractions. The animals have become weak and listless due to fact that they have not been in Wackyland for quite some time. When Gogo Dodo was trying to rescue his friends, Silas Wonder manages to capture and enslave him as well. To get into Silas' circus, Buster, Babs, and Plucky use a bag of Acme Guano to disguise themselves as a three-headed duck-billed rabbit. Silas sees through this ploy and attempts to kill them through putting them in a dangerous performance, where they will jump off a high platform. Silas builds up the audience's anticipation by saying they will not land in a tub of water, but keeps showing smaller receptacles until he settles of a thimble that contains a cube of gelatin. One of Silas' minions pokes them with a spiked club and they fall, but Buster uses their ears to grab a trapeze. They grab the trapeze and use it to safely land in a tub of water.

Plucky breaks up their act and decides to work solo. Babs is worried about Plucky, but Buster tells her that Plucky will keep Silas distracted while he and Babs look for Gogo. As Plucky performs for Silas, Silas puts him in cage filled with lions. Buster and Babs rescue Gogo and his friends and put them on a pump cart. They suddenly remember they left Plucky behind and get him. Plucky is being tamed by the lions as Buster and Babs find him. Plucky doesn't want to leave, as he is finally a hit, but Buster and Babs drag him with them. Silas notices them escaping on the pump cart and chases after them with his train. They each grab one of Gogo's friends and jump as Silas' engine crashes into their pump cart. They race back to Wackyland, and the bridge rolls up as Silas and his engine fall, the train exploding among impact and killing Silas. Now in Heck, The Devil tells Silas, "Now my collection is complete!," and laughs maniacally. Silas was imprisoned in a cage where he was frequently burned in the posterior. His damnation was appropriate, having been condemned to be enslaved to the Devil in the same way that Silas treated captured animals in his circus.

  • "This is not an illusion; it's profit."
  • "Fellow Americans, for the first time ever, two rabbits and a duck in a stinky bag will jump from this platform, high above the center ring, into this wondrous thimble of lukewarm Jell-O."
