If you ever questioned the existence of the Easter Bunny, it is here revealed that it was a cat all along.  Now you can believe.  From the Elson-Runkel Primer, 1914.

Of course the Easter Bunny does not lay eggs himself.  The eggs are obtained through coercion, bribery, and other closely-guarded methods.  From Fliegende Blätter, 1923.

Here's Santa as the Easter bunny.  The headline reads, "Eat your Easter candy at Christmas."  It's a precursor to holidays colliding in The Nightmare Before Christmas.  From The Rotunda newspaper of Longwood College, 1971.

Revealed -- the Easter Bunny outsources.  From Kladderadatsch, 1935.

Though most often associated with delivering food, the Easter Bunny has an appetite of its own (as well as good table manners).

Q: "I wonder if the rabbit visits anyone in Cal?"

A: Not without a license: "It is illegal in California for anyone to possess eggs ... without a license" (California Farmer, Vol. 274), possibly because "The urge to find and possess eggs has driven men to distant and dangerous places" (Joseph Kastner, A World of Watchers).
