I LOVED Bugs Bunny as a child. If I catch a Bugs Bunny cartoon on TV these days, I find myself still remembering much of the dialog. Looking back, I think some of Bugs' appeal to me was the fact that he was just a little bit "gay".

I loved Bugs too!!!! Esp. when he would dress up as a woman bunny....with the red lipstick. Those cartoons were the best....
A LITTLE BIT GAY? Girl, Bugs was an all out, ears to the wall flamer! And everyone loved him, so he made it "cool" to be gay before it was "cool"!
I never even thought of this, but how true!! A great laugh to start my day. I always loved the He Man cartoons too. Prince Adam in his pink shirt . . . hmmmm . . .
The people who put together Bugs and all his friends were geniuses! Test of time and they still pass it.
Never forget, he and Elmer's cross-dressing love operatic love story, "Kill De Wabbit." True, it did have an unhappy ending, but it was great to see a same sex, interspecies couple in the 50s.
To this day, that is my absolute favorite cartoon. Did you know that big orange monster's name is Gossamer? I actually found a stuffed one several years ago and gave it to Cousin Shane for Christmas. I think he still has it! Hugs, Beth
Oops, after I commented, I watched the clip, and saw that it mentions Gossamer at the very beginning. Sorry for being Mistress of the Obvious!
For a hoot... check out the 1975 documentary, "Bugs Bunny Superstar"... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugs_Bunny:_Superstar
I loved Bug Bunny cartoons, too! Also Huckleberry Hound, Bullwinkle, and Yogi Bear.
Bugs always dress up himself as a slut just to escape from his problems...(hmmmmmm that's really interesting... where else have I seen this?)
and sometimes he made out with Lucas...
Aaaah, Beth, the cross-dressing episodes were my favorite too! I loved the one with Gossamer...one of my favorites as a kid!
Yes, yes, But witch hazel use to give me fits. Ho was always losing bobbie pins
Totally! Bugs was a cool gay.
