It’s not just that Bugs Bunny likes to crossdress. Chuck Jones is on record as describing Bugs as a kind of trickster god. His crossdressing has a *shamanic power*. When Bugs crossdresses, *he assumes power over his enemies*.

Mind you, Bugs isn’t the only crossdresser in Looney Tunes. The only major character in the Warner stable that never crossdressed during the classic years was Speedy Gonzalez. So what happens when when Elmer Fudd crossdresses in The Big Snooze, for example?

Elmer, like most of Bugs’s enemies, loses power. And in such a way as to comment on gender in a similar way to Krazy Kat. Elmer is suddenly prey to “wolves” in the Big Snooze.
